The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

Don’t know about you, but as a kid I had truckloads of fun playing video games and The Prince of Persia was one of my favourites. Action, violence, mystery, exoticism and royalty – what’s there not to like?

Now Disney has turned it into a movie, and I can’t wait!

I’m not sure about the choice to cast Jake Gyllenhaal (he of Donnie Darko and Brokeback Mountain fame) as Prince Dastan, but Ben Kingsley and Alfred Molina (who play villainous nobleman Nizam and Dastan’s mentor  Sheik Amar respectively) are always a delight to watch so hopefully it’ll still be a ride.

It’s opening here in Singapore on May 27 – watch this space for our raves (or jeers)!
