if they have a whole lot of scenes like the chase scene in Casino Royale, i don't care what the rest of the movie is like. Disney, Bay and Bruckheimer

i sense their next worldwide trilogy blockbuster.

"What is also super-cool about the script is the use of PARKOUR. Parkour is a physical art of French origin, the aim of which is to move from point A to point B as efficiently and quickly as possible, using principally the abilities of the human body. It is meant to help one overcome obstacles, which can be anything in the surrounding environment — from branches and rocks to rails and concrete walls — so Parkour can be practiced in both rural and urban areas.

The Prince of Persia games utilized Parkour and it is cool to see it intact in the script and a part of the storyline. That chase scene in Casino Royale utilized Parkour and I can’t highly recommend enough the Pierre Morel French action film DISTRICT B13, which is one hell of an action film. The way these stuntmen move without the use of special effects and wires is just breathtaking.

Parkour is finally going to be given a worldwide audience with Prince of Persia. Because of the incredible athleticism and shape you have to be in to practice Parkour, I would think that narrows down the choices to play Prince of Persia’s lead character – DASTAN."

It was between this and another pirates film.

Theyre doing both, you heard it here first.

can you imagine the cash these two guys bring in?

I shall now add my opinion to this. I like it.

Bay with Bruckheimer is an awesome tandum. Excluding Pearl Harbor, they have a pretty good track record.

I can't wait actually.

Which part in the game's trilogy does this take place? I know I don't see that whip till the 3rd one.

im sure it's very much a placeholder poster. i would assume mostly set around the 1st one but could have parts of all 3 in case only one movie is made.

Bruckheimer and Bay are a bunch of fucking hacks. This movie will be like every other action movie, except with a parkour gimmick.

Even if they hacks they make entertaining, mindless action flicks that are fun to watch. I will take them any day over boring ass shit some others make
