The famous computer game is now on the big screen! According to the director of the upcoming movie, Mike Newell, they went through a big evolution. During his interview with David Sztypuljak, Mike said “everyone was aware that we had to make a story that was a general audience, not a game audience that had real scope and epicness to it, character, action, romance, comedy and all of those things and then little by little we discovered that the gamers themselves are very vocal, they had websites and all sorts of stuff and asked, when are we going to make a decent movie out of a video game?”
And with that, the director took the making of this movie seriously and he even tried to play it in order to understand it. But how did he choose the characters of this movie?
The director stated that he was the one who cast Jake Gyllenhaal and Gemma Arterton. The director stated that he have known Jake since he was a small boy, since he was about 10, and he also knew his mother and father, then the director knew him slightly through Mona Lisa Smile and through his sister, Maggie. The director also said “I’d seen him and I thought that what I had to have was no a prince, I had to have a trickster, an anarchist, a rebel, someone that would down the social scale from the rest of the royal family – this kid’s no royal, he’s from the steet and I had to have someone who had an anarchic sense of humour.” On the other hand, he chose Gemma because she is a terrific actress. When the director met her, he already adored her.
What is good in this movie is that the effects are awesome and that it will be appealing to every viewer! It will also show how the Prince of Persia fights through his amazing adventures! The movie will be coming out in the U.S on May 28,2010.
