Prince of Persia Featurette Released

It's one of those "featurettes" that's basically a slightly-longer-than-usual trailer with some behind the scenes glimpses, but given that we've only seen a teaser so far, this little Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time docco is worth a look.

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer, director Mike Newell, and Prince Dastan himself Jake Gyllenhaal do some perfunctory plot explaining. There is much flinging of words like "destiny". We get to hear Jake's British accent again (and it still sounds quite good). We see Alfred Molina. And Gemma Arterton describes Jake as an "action figure". He's certainly looking sculpted.

Action and humour are clearly the order of the day, if we hadn't twigged that already. But we hadn't quite noticed before just how much this seems to resemble The Scorpion King... Maybe that's just the trailer effect.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is out on May 28th next year.
