The International Trailer for Prince of Persia has been released online and I think that if it came out first I might have been more encouraged. The first trailer was a mess.
It’s an improvement, and it really does remind me of the look and feel of the Pirates movies (with obvious reasons) but I am still a little hesitant. Those other parts that made the film look bad are still in the movie, just not this trailer.
I don’t mind that everyone in Persia speaks with a British accent. I can accept that. And I dont even mind Gyllenhaal in the lead even though people are too busy complaining that there are no Persians in the Prince of Persia movie. I am hardly taking this as an accurate depiction of Persian history, so I can deal with that, however they could have cast Naveen Andrews in the lead and I would have been just as happy.
Some deliberate nods to the acrobatics of the game, and some interesting effects to deal with the sands that turn back time.
I haven’t written it off yet.
