Take a look at Gyllenhaal as the ‘Prince of Persia’

The folks over at Just Jared got a hold of some pictures taken of Jake Gyllenhaal on the Moroccan set of Mike Newell’s upcoming video game adaptation “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.” You can see part of one shot just above, and the rest of them right here!
The plot of “Persia” follows Prince Dastan (Gyllenhaal) as he teams up with a princess (Gemma Arterton) to stop a ruthless leader from laying his hands on the Sands of Time, a gift from the gods that can be used to reverse time and rule the world. Ben Kingsley and Alfred Molina co-star.
I’ve never actually played the game and don’t know much else about the plot or characters, but considering the screenshots and trailers I've seen from the game, Gyllenhaal seems like a good choice to portray the hero of this adventure. “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time” is scheduled to open May 28, 2010.

i ain't a fanboy, but i like the story and the game a lot. there are some specific feelings that you experience while playing that stick with the image of them characters. so, what makes you think he's a good choice if you have absolutely no idea about the prince? no wait... i'll pass, don't answer.
Nightride, I guess I should have said I've seen plenty of screenshots and trailers from the game, which means I know what the virtual Prince looks like. I based this solely on the looks of him, and that's it.
Played the game had a very interesting and unique storyline about a prince tricked into releasing the sands of time by his fathers vizeer (wizard). They invaded another country to get them. realizing what hed done, the prince sets out to return the timeline to normal with the help of that country's princess. Hope this helps you out!
And yes, jake looks exactly like him in these pictures
