http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/11/13/Disney-And-Bruckheimer-Planning-PRINCE-OF-PERSIA-Movie.aspx Following the success of PIRATES OF THE CARRIBBEAN at the box office, Disney and über-producer Jerry Bruckheimer made a push last week to get another exotic property underway, a live-action version of the popular videogame PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE SANDS OF TIME. Disney and Bruckheimer have tapped Mike Newell (LOVE IN THE TIME OF CHOLERA) to direct a script written by Jeffery Nachmanoff (THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW) and videogame creator Jordan Mechner. Newell met with the studio execs last week, and negotiations are expected to begin shortly. However don’t expect to visit the Arabian sands anytime soon. PRINCE OF PERSIA will not go into production until labor issues regarding the current WGA strike have been resolved. As a result, a release date for the film is impossible to pinpoint. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/11/13/Disney-And-Bruckheimer-Planning-PRINCE-OF-PERSIA-Movie.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/11/13/Disney-And-Bruckheimer-Planning-PRINCE-OF-PERSIA-Movie.aspx#2185 Movies based on video games always suck - pure and simple.
