We’re looking at an adaptation of a classic, high-octane video game. Word on the street is this could easily be one of the massive blockbusters of 2010...
The movie pulls from an ancient—yet incredibly addictive—game that used to keep us glued to our screens for hours. It’s set in the sweeping, sun-drenched deserts of Persia. Our protagonist finds himself on a desperate mission: teaming up with a princess from a rival clan to stop a ruthless ruler who plans to unleash a desert storm capable of wiping out the entire world. After being deceived by a dying sorcerer, the prince accidentally triggers a catastrophe—the "Sands of Time" have been unleashed—because a priceless hourglass was shattered, leaving his kingdom in ruins and turning everyone alive into demons...
To save his kingdom and make amends for his catastrophic mistakes, the prince has to hunt down the "Sands of Time" to rewind history and fix what he broke...
Mike Newell is at the helm here—you know him from his work on Elfstones and Harry Potter—and the cast is actually quite heavy-hitting: Ben Kingsley (from Shutter Island), Alfred Molina (The Da Vinci Code, Spider-Man 2), Jake Gyllenhaal (Zodiac, Brokeback Mountain), and Gemma Arterton (Clash of the Titans, Quantum of Solace).
The film hits theaters on May 28, 2010.
