Many video game lovers regards Jerry Bruckheimer's "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time" as a rare bright, shining ray of hope for video game-to-film adaptations. Let's face it, with past efforts ranging from so-bad-it's-entertaining awful ("Super Mario Bros.") to halfway decent ("Resident Evil" trilogy), games are kinda due for their breakout movie adaptation.
The picture off to the right there offers an early look at Prince Dastan (Jake Gyllenhaal), fully armed and armored. I haven't been on board with every decision made regarding this adaptation, but I've got faith in Bruckheimer's ability to deliver an attention-grabbing summer blockbuster.
