You know, if you have nothing else to do. According to ComingSoon.net, Disney has already scheduled a release date for its game-to-something-vaguely-adhering-to-the-characteristics-of-cinema adaptation, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Arriving on July 10th, 2009, the film will presumably spring from the world established by Ubisoft's modern Prince of Persia trilogy and then be run through the standard movie exec alteration gauntlet.

Not much is known about the film, save for its alleged incorporation of Parkour and its involvement with Jerry "Needs More Splosions" Bruckheimer. Michael Bay's directorial sledgehammer has been eyed for the film, but no official announcement on the subject has been made. There's a feint chance of the film turning into a charming and boisterous adventure along the lines of Pirates of the Caribbean, but the realistic expectation is to leave the cinema complaining about the abundance of car chases and Eva Mendez's poor rendition of "Look, I found a crack!"

Jesus Christ not Michael Bay again!

Didn't that guys career peek with the bomb scene in Pearl Harbor. Man i'm getting so tired of Bruckheimer/Bay, ok movies, limited vision.

It's pretty cool that Mr. Mechner himself was apparently involved with the script. (In theory he has experience, what with The Last Express.)

Now let us never speak of this again for the next eighteen months.

I want a Karateka movie.

Although, if Jordan Mechner himself is involved with this, then it can't be all that bad...right?

Jesus Christ not Michael Bay again!

At least Uwe Boll has nothing to do with this.

(Yeah, I know, slim chance of that happening with Prince of Persia anyways, but still...)
