Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time International Movie Trailer

Posted on Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009 by Peter Sciretta

Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time

Yesterday Walt Disney Pictures released the official movie trailer for Mike Newell’s big screen adaptation of the popular video game Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Today a new international cut of the trailer has been found online at TrailerAddict. The trailer features a bit of new footage, and is a completely different edit. This cut seems to be a little less ADD and a little less “trying to be everything.” Unfortunately, it still has the annoying voiceover by Gemma Arterton.  Watch the international trailer embedded after the jump, and as always, leave your thoughts in the comments below.

Here’s the film’s official synopsis:

From the team that brought the “Pirates of the Caribbean” trilogy to the big screen, Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer Films present PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE SANDS OF TIME, an epic action-adventure set in the mystical lands of Persia. A rogue prince (JAKE GYLLENHAAL) reluctantly joins forces with a mysterious princess (GEMMA ARTERTON) and together, they race against dark forces to safeguard an ancient dagger capable of releasing the Sands of Time—a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world.

Set in the mystical lands of Persia, PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE SANDS OF TIME is an epic action-adventure about a rogue prince (JAKE GYLLENHAAL) and a mysterious princess (GEMMA ARTERTON) who race against dark forces to safeguard an ancient dagger capable of releasing the Sands of Time—a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time will hit theaters on May 28th 2010.

    nice british accent Donny...
    sheesh....

    As a huge fan of video games and in particular the first video of which this film is being based off colored me impressed. Gyllenhaal does look like the prince from the game so I don't really care about that point. But the fact that they have injected the free running is fantastic.

    However more importantly they seem to have made it a point to make sure that the banter between the prince and princess is similar to the way it was in the game. The female protagonist in the first game was a strong with out being too overly sexualized and I'm glad that's what it seems like they are doing here.

    I'm actually excited.
  • MickJ
    Looks reasonable. As long as he's wall-jumping/running/swinging every 10 seconds for no reason at all, I'll be happy.
  • Seriously, everytime I see this picture of Jake and Gemma all wet, I immediately think it's a sleazy porn flick. I mean, just look at their faces!
  • p86
    how i Gemma's vocie annoying ?

    i dont hear it that way i guess we should go back to the typical deep voiced white man doing voice overs
  • waqman
    It wasn't necessarily here voice, but more her voice-over. She didn't shut up throughout the entire trailer and most of it felt redundant.

    "That's a dagger, it controls time, you need it to defeat the Vizier, who is in the temple, you get into the temple by opening that door, open the door by turning the knob etc."
  • I honestly think this looks fucking horrible.
  • agreed. the movie feels very mediocre in the sense that it will be no more and no less than exactly what you would expect. it doesnt feel like it has any spirit behind it.. just disney wanting to make a huge budget film for the sake of making a huge budget film targeted at kids and teens.
  • And sadly, those kids and teens they are targeting will likely lap it up and thus auto-green-light two more sequels for us to endure.
  • Let's not judge too hastily here. Just because it's based off a videogame doesn't guarantee it's shittiness. I think it looks pretty epic, truth be told. It could suck, but it also could be really sweet. I reserve judgement.
  • mace
    i swear the music in the other trailer was so much better then this one.
  • Anon
    Much better than the original trailer
  • Octoberist
    it wasn't like the original trailer was crap or anything.
  • gerstin
    this is going to be bad, its going to make money, but its got no soul
  • joe_fox
    I feel like it's going for the same thing that the LOTR: ROTK trailer went for...and failing.
  • RJBlakeAAU
    Am I the only one who thinks this looks like a lot of fun? Not the best thing ever but definitely a really good time at the theaters.
  • clarencesomerset
    The pretty rad-looking posters got me thinking the film would be more than a technically proficient, Bruckeihimer-esque piece. Seems its more of the same - not that its bad. Jerry B does always deliver the goods, albeit to the lowest dennominator.
  • TheDaftPunk
    The only thing good about this is the soundtrack. Loves me some Harry Gregson-Williams.
  • MANA
    Narnia!!!!!!!!!

    (both films composed by H.G-W. for those of you who don't know)
  • bigtones
    New trailer or not, this movie looks waaaaaack. 2010's Speed Racer.
  • Ci
    Anyone who likes this trailer has suspect taste.
  • Rockme
    This movie screams suck.
    It's not so much the setting or the music.
    It's the feel of it and especially the b-actors showing off a sub-par performance in this trailer(or it might be badly edited).
    Even the decade old "The Mummy" movie and its accompanying trailers feels way better than this.
  • greggorybasore
    Looks like a lot of good fun... and bad accents.
  • Peter R
    I miss "The Mummy" movies. Those were fun popcorn flicks.

    Wonder what that snot nosed British kid that played their son looks like now.
  • hoodrats_political_battle
    Seconds into the trailer when the GIANT "from the makers of Pirates...." flashes across the screen, and is followed by banter between a handsome dark haired man and a British female counterpart, I couldn't help but spend the rest of the trailer ONLY thinking of Pirates and how these 2 actors, their onscreen chemistry and how this P.O. Persia trailer didn't excite me nearly as much as the first time I spied a glimpse of Pirates. Is it possible that Johnny Depp has pretty much ruined it for any actor playing a character even remotely reminiscent of Jack Sparrow?
  • mangoshakes
    looks like fun to me. Kinda like the first pirates was just fun, then it got botched by ridiculously confusing plots. I'll see it. plus the shots of him jumping around like in the game are sweet.
  • Rev Rick White
    Somewhere Uwe Boll is masturbating.
  • haha this looks so cheesy. it could have been a good action flick but from all viewpoints it looks like a complete disaster.
  • freemachine
    Will someone PLEEEEEEEASE make a HALO movie already?!?!
  • Chirag
    I kinda like this trailer, and I think the movie should be good too.
  • KateWest
    Fact for fact fans: some of Jake Gyllenhaal's voice on new Persia trailer is actually dubbed by... Nolan North! Cool!
  • Damn, this movie is getting prejudged way too hard. People automatically hate it since it's big budget and based on a videogame. Apparently that means it's guaranteed to suck.
  • bikerbob666
    "Bubble Boy Goes To Persia...!!!" In theaters Soon...
  • bikerbob666
    Bubble Boy Goes To Persia".....In Theaters Soon
  • The other trailer is so much better. It actually impressed me because not only did it look amazing, but it seemed to capture the spirit of the Sands of Time video game—which really does have a great story. I'm looking forward to this movie.
  • See it as it is
    Bunch of wankers complaining about the such an amazing trailer. You ppl should see the movie as what it's supposed to be. You can't compare the southpark movie to the 40 year old virgin. The context and genre is entirely different (toilet humor vs intelligent). If you don't know anything about the game (its an adaptation you dumbfucks) then stop whining.
