It looks like Doc Oc will be joining Ben Kingsley and co. in Prince of Persia. We get wind of this casting thanks to the professionals at Variety:
Alfred Molina will join Jake Gyllenhaal, Gemma Arterton and Ben Kingsley in Disney’s “Prince of Persia,” the Mike Newell-directed adaptation of the Ubisoft fantasy actioner. Jerry Bruckheimer is producing. Molina will play Sheik Amar, who becomes a mentor to the prince. Shooting is slated to begin in July in the U.K. and Morocco.
Molina was kick ass as Doc Oc In Spiderman 2. I was introduced to the man through that performance, and will forever count his addition to any film as good news. Ben Kingsley and he are solid pillars of talent in which to build a film upon. Could this be a video game movie that bucks the trend and ends up kicking ass? ….we shall see!
