Prince of Persia movie poster released

DarkZero write: "It may still be over a year away, with a current release of June 19, 2009 planned, but it seems as if Hollywood is getting into full swing, and is already getting ready to heavily promote the upcoming movie based on the Prince of Persia series

Recent details hint that the film will loosely follow The Sands of Time storyline of recent games, but will see some changes to better accommodate medium of film. The film will be directed by Mike Newell of Into the West, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Goblet of Fire and Mona Lisa Smile fame, and will be produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. Disney will be in charge of distribution of the film.

It is rumoured that the film will make use Parkour for many of the quick paced action sequences. Hollywood already used the style to great effect in the opening scenes of the last James Bond movie, Casino Royale."

Beautiful! Sadly the background is a bit arabic but the Prince's font is really kool. Can't wait.

gaffyh5829d ago

erm...the background is Persian (Iranian) not Arabic, and Persians became Muslims so it makes sense to have a Mosque in the background. Granted the Mosque isn't using Persian architecture, but there are a lot of different styles.

They don't even know who is going to be in the movie yet...little premature for a movie poster, no?

MK_Red5829d ago

I see what you mean but Hollywood does this all the time. Remember the 2 year old Tekken poster? Back then that film didn't even have a producer or director. Plus, there was an official poster last year with the same font (That poster was shown at Comic-con or something) and this feels similair.

What a shame, to keep this nice and civil, Bruckheimer will not do a good job with this. I'm skipping it. He ruins everything he touches. Same with Michael Bay. (I did think The Rock was okay though.)

MK_Red5829d ago

Come on, I'm no Bruckheimer fan but he's not that bad. At least, not was bad as Michael Bay. At least Pirates of Caribbean was fun. I also like King Arthur.

My main grip is with the director. Seriously, why the heck did they choose him?

Defectiv3_Detectiv35829d ago

Pirates of the Carribean was so drawn out - it had its moments but it went on for too long.

King Arthur was just downright terrible. Princess Guinevere as an action hero? Not buying it.

I would have rather seen this property go to another director, but this is Disney we're talking about, Michael Bay is there go to guy.

enzobot245829d ago

I know Mike Newell is a little unknown to the masses... but you should watch Donnie Brasco before judging the guy - he's proven himself to be a great director. I think this will be a pleasant surprise.

MK_Red5829d ago

enzobot24, I know the guy. I've seen Donnie Brasco and that's exactly why I don't think he's the best choice. Sure, he's better than Bay but still, he's not the action material.

Golden Axe is a great game I enjoyed it on the SMS, Genesis and in the arcade. Great game but it truly was a quarter eater back in the day. I wish Sega could get the rights to the arcade port of Moonwalker another great arcade game I enjoyed. Collect so many monkeys and become Robo Michael lol.

70 percent of devs unsure of live-service games sustainability

With so many games fighting for players' attention and interest losing out over time, time sink games are at risk of eventually losing steam.

It was worrisome to begin with.

It's a niche genre with only a handful of hits that can stand the test of time.

Cacabunga18h ago

I like the sound of that!! I will for sure never support these gaas games.
Sony must be shocked at gamer's reaction, making them cancel a few of these and hopefully go back to the good heavy hitters they had us used to..
now bring on that PSPro reveal and show us some SP 1st party awesomeness.

CrimsonWing691d 15h ago

What’s to be unsure of!? Look at the ratio of success to failure!

DarXyde22h ago

It's pretty ridiculous.

Imagine having a breadth of data at your disposal to see the statistically low success rate of these games, only to be laser focused on the exceptional case studies.

shinoff21831d 13h ago

Yes. Stop all the live service bs.

jznrpg1d 13h ago

Only a few will catch on. You need a perfect storm to be successful in GaaS and a bit of luck on top of that. But a potential cash cow will keep them trying and some will go out of business because of it.

MIDGETonSTILTS171d 13h ago

Helldivers 2 manages just fine…

Keep production costs low… don’t just make custscenes until the mechanics and enemies are perfected first.

Make so much content that you can drip extra content for years, and the game already feels complete without them.

Most importantly: make weapons, enemies, levels, and mechanics that will stand the test of 1000 hours. This might require more devs embracing procedurally generated leveled, which I think separates Helldivers 2 from Destiny’s repetitiveness.
