Hollywood rumor mill has Jake Gyllenhaal setup for the lead in the 2009 Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer video-game movie adaption “Prince of Persia: Sands of Time.”
Talk about BULL. If one thing should be obvious from the title of the game is that the star should be Persian or at least Middle Eastern. This isn’t the first video game movie casting rumor for the star of “Brokeback Mountain.” Gyllenhaal is also up for the role of Billy Batson in the DC Comics film Shazam! (Captain Marvel), as well as Spider-Man 4 should Tobey Maguire step down.
Maybe there are no Middle Eastern actors out there? WRONG. How about Sayid Jarrah, actor Naveen Andrews, from “Lost?” Now that’s one bad ass star that I’d love to see star as the Prince of Persia. He already has a huge cult following from his role on “Lost.” And, you know what? When you look at him, he looks like he could be the Prince of Persia (at least moreso than Gyllenhaal).
What do you think should star as the Prince of Persia?
