Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time gets a director, pushed back to Summer 2009

Prince of Persia movie gets a director - Image 1The last time we reported about the Prince of Persia movie, "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time", we said that Jerry Bruckheimer had the movie franchise under his wing for quite some time now and that the movie is well on its way to 2008. Now, although the producer has been busy with his Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, he was still able to secure a director and a release date for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.


Bruckheimer has teamed up with the director of Bad Boys I and II, The Rock, and Pearl Harbor - none other than Michael Bay. And if before, we mentioned that the movie based on the game would be out on 2008, well folks, you'd have to wait a little longer. Prince of Persia: Sands of Time is slated for a Summer 2009 release.

Movie site, IESB, mentioned that they have confirmed with Disney Studios that they are hoping that Bay will indeed take on the directorial chores for the movie when he is done working with another movie - Transformers. As for what Jordan Mechner has to say about the movie:

Rather than do a straight beat-for-beat adaptation of the new videogame, we're taking some cool elements from the game and using them to craft a new story - much as 'Pirates' [of the Caribbean] did with the theme park ride.


We'll update you about the movie as more info comes our way.

it seems like all the crappy movies based on games have done harm to the games that would actually make good movies. the pattern on this is all too familiar. a push back, another push back, then the inevitable indefinite hiatus...

Bay???!!! For *****sake. He's an arsehole, he'll butcher the franchise. Hollywood are a bunch of retards. Epic Movie being no1 in the US proves this.
