Prince of Persia Movie Script Reviewed

Posted June 5, 2007 by Kevin

Somebody over at Latinoreview.com is sneaky. Only a year and a half ago one of their reviewers “El Mayimbe” got hold of an early draft of the Halo movie script. Now, in true super hero fashion, he’s done it again - this time scoring a copy of the Prince of Persia movie script. I smell shinanagins.

Anyway, I pulled out what seemed to be the major points of interest from his review:

• The script calls for liberal use of Parkour - the type of exaggerated jumping, running, and gravity-defying physics used in Casino Royale’s opening chase scene.
• The film is being described as a “9th century Indiana Jones” by one producer.
• The movie is being produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and directed by Michael Bay for Disney - so you can expect it to resemble the look and feel of Pirates of the Caribbean to a large extent.
• The leading roles have still not been cast.

After reading the review, my interest in this movie has climbed somewhat. The opening chase scene in Casino Royale was one of the coolest action sequences I’ve seen in a long time, so more of the same in Prince of Persia can only be a good thing in my opinion. And who doesn’t love Indiana Jones? I just wonder who will end up being cast as the leading role … hmm … Orlando Bloom? Christian Bale?

Overall, I’d say this has the potential to become a huge film franchise. THIS IS PERSIA!!!!!!!!
