When you think of the actor to most likely portray a Middle Eastern prince does your mind immediately race to Jake Gyllenhaal? I know mine does and apparently so does Hollywood's as he is set to star in the video game adaptation, Prince of Persia. Gemma Arterton has also been cast as the female lead in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. She next appears in the new James Bond film, Quantum of Solace.
Mike Newell (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) will direct the film with a script from by Doug Miro and Carlo Bernard, Boaz Yakin and the game's creator, Jordan Mechner.
Gyllenhaal will play Dastan, a 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.
