ComingSoon.net has your exclusive first official look at Sir Ben Kingsley as the villain in Walt Disney Pictures' Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, opening in theaters on May 28, 2010.

In the fantasy adventure based on Ubisoft's popular video game, Jake Gyllenhaal will play Dastan, a young prince in sixth century Persia who must join forces with Tamina (Gemma Arterton), a feisty and exotic princess, to prevent a villainous nobleman (Kingsley) from possessing the Sands of Time, a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world. Alfred Molina and Toby Kebbell co-star in the Mike Newell-directed film.

No one is giving this film a chance, it seems. I have at least a shred of hope for it. The game was a classic and the disney-bruckheimer attachment is much better than, say, a uwe boll or 20th century. We will certainly be getting a better quality game-movie than Bloodrayne or Hitman.

OH MY GOLLY!

He looks like himself. How exciting.

I will still see this movie though. Just to piss off all the people who think the prince should be played by a persian guy. Iranians have enough to bloody worry about. lol
