More New PRINCE OF PERSIA Images

We’ve seen the first official image and then the character posters and a big close up shot of Ben Kingsley as the villain Nizam but what everybody seems to have objection about PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE SANDS OF TIME is the fact that Jake Gyllenhaal is not of Persian descent. That’s true, but doesn’t acting mean playing someone you’re not?! Unless they cast an American to play an Indonesian, and then I’ll take offense.
Ben Kingsley himself is famous for being an actor who can play many ethnics: Indian, Russian, British, Israelite, American, Middle-Eastern.
Geektyrant has these 4 new images from the movie produced by Jerry Burckheimer, based on the popular video game, including Gemma Arterton all wet. Click on these images to enlarge.

In the fantasy adventure based on Ubisoft’s popular video game, Jake Gyllenhaal will play Dastan, a young prince in sixth century Persia who must join forces with Tamina (Gemma Arterton), a feisty and exotic princess, to prevent a villainous nobleman (Kingsley) from possessing the Sands of Time, a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world. Alfred Molina and Toby Kebbell co-star in the Mike Newell-directed film.

PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE SANDS OF TIME opens May 28th, 2010
