• New Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Images

  

  Having failed to make a big push for its latest (potential) franchise at San Diego Comic-Con, Walt Disney is trying to create some buzz for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time by releasing new stills from the movie.

  

  Two of the stills feature ripped-up Jake Gyllenhaal and smoking-hot Gemma Arterton in action as Prince Dastan and Princess Tamina, respectively, while the other shot shows producer Jerry Bruckheimer behind the scenes on the set.

  

  Based on Ubisoft's popular line of video games, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is set in sixth century Persia and tells the story of how Prince Dastan and Princess Tamina must work together to stop the evil Nizam (played by Sir Ben Kingsley) from using the mysterious "Sands of Time" to destroy the world.

  Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is being directed by Mike Newell and also stars Toby Kebbell, Alfred Molina, Reece Ritchie, Richard Coyle and Steve Toussaint.

• Prince of Persia will be 'all about the dagger of time'

  At today's junket for Love in the Time of Cholera, director Mike Newell revealed some details about the upcoming Prince of Persia  movie exclusively to ReelzChannel.com.

  As we reported last week, Disney approached Newell to direct a live action silver screen version of the popular videogame Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. Well, it seems as though Newell has already made up his mind.

  From the way he was talking, Newell made it clear that he plans to make this movie. The only thing that is holding up progress is indeed the writers' strike that has ground Hollywood to a hault. But once the strike situation is resolved, be looking for Prince of Persia to get underway--and with Newell at the helm.

  For the uninitiated, the video game employs a device called 'the dagger of time', which allows users to basically turn back time for a do over. As we all know, though, mucking with the past too much creates problems. When asked if and how the 'dagger of time' would figure into the movie, Newell affirmed that it will be the main focus. 'It's all about the dagger of time,' he told us.

  Keep checking ReelzChannel.com for our exclusive video interview with Mike Newell, coming soon.
