Jordan Mechner, the creator of the Prince of Persia franchise, and scriptwriter behind the upcoming Prince of Persia movie has said that he loved the film and hopes that fans of the video games series will love it too.
“I wasn’t involved in casting but I love the cast. I think they’re all terrific. Jake looks a lot like the prince in the game. He’s a great actor and I think for me he embodies a lot of the qualities that sort of define the kind of hero that I’ve always seen the Prince as. He’s a warrior, but he’s also got a sort of mischievous quality, a certain vulnerability and I think Jake brings that to the screen in a way that’s really appealing."
“We really made the movie to stand on its own so even if you’ve never played Prince of Persia, you’ve never played a video game, you can completely enjoy it. But for people who have played the games, there are definitely moments of physical action that sort of allude to the game, that gamers can appreciate on another level."
“To me, the Prince of Persia is almost an old-fashioned kind of film. It’s romantic, adventurous, and it’s got these epic production values that can only be done today by a producer of the stature of Jerry Bruckheimer. For me, it’s very much the kind of movie that inspired the original game and very true to that tradition. But, at the same time, it goes beyond it. It’s more epic that I could have imagined. I love it and I hope the gamers will too.”
Despite everything that he’s just said, we still think that this movie will suck. You’ll be able to judge for yourself when it’s released in theatres Nationwide in May.
