Prince of Persia: Sands of Time will be a movie next year. And it’s star? None other then Jake Gyllenhaal. I laughed when I saw the first picture from the film, the one shown above. For me, it’s already lost all credibility and is a movie I will not see unless it’s on free TV and I want a laugh.

Plus the film looks to have a time travel element, which of course is always easy to understand and does well with the typical movie going audience right? ;-)

Typical Hollywood casting. Jake is clearly a white guy, let’s be honest. He hardly looks Persian at all!

And if you are making a film called: Prince of Persia. Your title alone is specifically pointing out you have a Prince and he is from Persia. And sure I know it’s just a film, and casting is not perfect usually. But couldn’t you at least get an actor with more middle east type features?

Jake totally looks out of place in a film like this. As a movie I already feel this film will just do average and be below expectations.
