An interesting article by Variety about how early movies are being planned shed some light on the release date of the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time movie. (more…)
According to IMDB.com, it looks like Michael Bay is directing the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time movie.
The Prince of Persia: Sands of Time page on IMDB.com also has a release date for the movie, 10 July 2009. However, John August, executive producer of Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, isn’t sure if there will be a film ready on that date since its still in development.
Michael Bay has directed many big name Hollywood action movies such as Bad Boys (1995), Armageddon (1998), Pearl Harbor (2001), Bad Boys II (2003), The Island (2005) and most recently, Transformers (2007).
He looks well experienced to direct action films, however, I can’t exactly say that any of the movies he’s directed makes it on my favorites list. Does this mean the movie is doomed? Probably not, but I’m not expecting anything great either.
Take a look through the history of the Prince of Persia franchise from the original game in 1989 through its various incarnations on PC and Ubi’s versions of the game.
