With few of the major summer blockbusters featured in trailers during the Superbowl this past weekend, there was ample chance for Disney to snatch the spotlight. So the studio rolled out ads for Alice In Wonderland and this new, effects-heavy reel for Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time.
Naturally for a Jerry Bruckheimer production, it’s loaded down with set pieces and spectacle, with just a hint of Jake Gyllenhaal’s Brit-accented Prince Dastan running, jumping, falling and fighting, with some new material from Gemma Arterton’s Tamina.
This was one of those ‘get-the-high-concept-squeezed-into-the-pitch-quick’ jobs, but really focused on showing off the pretty pictures.The film arrives on 21 May.
