For those of you who can’t wait to see Jake Gylenhaal be the main star in the live action movie adaptation PRINCE OF PERSIA based on the popular video game series, well, unfortunately you’re going to have to wait a little longer.
Via comingsoon.net, Walt Disney Pictures has pushed back the Jerry Bruckheimer-produced PRINCE OF PERSIA: SANDS OF TIME all the way to May 28th, 2010 instead of the previous release date,June 19, 2009
Maybe Disney’s afraid to go up against TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN which opens June 26th, 2009
With the new release date, it’s not all good news… The other contenders in 2010 during that month are the movie SHREK GOES FOURTH and a week before would be Marvel Studios’ THOR.
Good luck, Disney & Jerry Bruckheimer!
Let the game begin and may the best one win!
Plot:
In the fantasy adventure based on Ubisoft’s popular video game, Gyllenhaal will play Dastan, a young prince in sixth century Persia who must join forces with Tamina (Arterton), a feisty and exotic princess, to prevent a villainous nobleman from possessing the Sands of Time, a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world.
