Prince GyllenHo
Filed under: Jake Gyllenhaal > Film Flickers
Some might think he's a queen, but, now, he's officially a prince!
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Jake Gyllenhaal has been tapped to play the lead role in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.
Walt Disney is teaming up with Jerry Bruckheimer Films on Prince of Persia, an adaptation of Ubisoft's popular video game.
Production starts in July.
Video game adaptations have kinda sucked in the past.
We hope they break the curse this time!

he is sooo hooot!
That's an unfortunate picture of him… awww.
hes so fucking hot!
Where's your "beard", Jakey????????????
hehehe Spider-Fag, Spider-Fag, rims an ass wherever he can… lol
He is a SUCKER!
First Bitches!!
Disney?? Prince of Persia involves stabbing evil creatures. A lot. I hope they don't sugar coat it. Oh well, as long as it's actually good. We need a good videogame movie!
Look at all the homophobes! Correy Carrier, it's hard telling the difference between you and Pat Buchanan. The only person with a problem with his sexuality is you or so it seems. You disgust me.
Ugh! I can't stand him!
WTF!!! NO PERSIAN ACTORS AVAILABLE?
DON
T GET ME WRONG I LUV JAKE, BUT PLEASE…
Love Jake .. but he's not .. Persian.
i love Ben tyzack for ever he's better than jake
I swear it's getting harder and harder to tell the difference between gay people and outright shit kicking homophobes on this site.
I didn't even know he was Iranian. I guess the fact that he doesn't have buck teeth threw me off.
Whoa, chica!!! There is only one "Queen" around here and it's you!!! Jake is one hot MF and Reese is hitting it every chance she gets! I read where she follows him to all his movie sets for some of that fine ass. He's been working all over lately even in Mexico and she is all over him like a blanket.
If they make all three movies, as planned, Jake will come away with $50 million here. Not too bad.
Yo, Prez! How come you used such a shit picture of Jakey????? He looks good lately. This picture is old. And you can tell it is a winter one bcz of his clothes. Shit. Get on the ball, Prez!
PEREZ re your comments about video game adaptations u r a tad inconsistent perhaps? u love Angelina soooooo much (toooooo much) does that mean u didnt like her as Lara Croft Tomb Raider?
He doesn't even LOOK Persian! And to play a Prince of Persia? Stupid casting.

I WAS JUST FRONT ROW SILVER MOSH PIT AT THE BON JOVI CONCERT IN ABU DAHBI IT WAS FKING AMAZING OH MY GOD I WANNA FUCK RICHI SAMBORA SO BAD……..THEY WERE AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME, BON JOVI FUCKING ROCKS, THEY PUT ON A SHOW OF A LIFE TIME…GOD I FEEL LIKE IM FLOATING ON AIR….I LOVE RICHIE DUMP DENISE
Jake is so HOT, totally a physical guy, gorgeous and a great actor! I am really looking forward to this movie with Jake cast as our fantasy hero Prince! He's fueling my fantasies even more than usual at the moment…. sigh…..swoon. I am definetely going to see it, and probably have to add it to my DVD collection.
Oh, and I agree == Perez, please post a better picture of our new prince. Like one of the pics where he's all smooth faced (with that 'Brothers' beard shaved), dark , mysterious and has those big blue eyes gazing out at us…You know the ones of which I speak.
to bad Orlando Bloom is filming red circle. I'd see it then but gyllenhal yuck no. not intrested now
WTF THAT PALE ASS AS SEXY TANNEd PRINCE OF PERSIA??? WTF ARE THESE PRODUCERS SMOKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yet another hero movie with the male lead being played by a "man" that doesn't look like he's even gone thru puberty. what happened to casting or making stars out of guys who are 6'0 plus and actually have a body of a man? Muscles must not exist anymore. Shame.
Re: Queer as Yolk… – lmfao But I *AM* gay.
And if given the opportunity, I'd tap that long and hard, I'm telling you. I also am a far-left liberal who enjoys Pat's insight on MSNBC. I'm just having some fun at Jake's expense. Any other questions?
Oh, awesome! Can't wait to see it!
Wow - I though that Jake Gyllenhaal was better than a video game movie
JAKE IS NOT EVEN PERSIAN? I LOVE THE GAME AND HE IS MISCAST!! WHY CAN'T HOLLYWOOD EMPLOY ETHNIC ACTORS IN THEIR APPROPRIATE ROLES?
It's called Prince of Persia dumbass producers not prince of LA. No Middle Eastern actor available. PUH-LEEse. What about Prince David Zandi? He's an actor AND a real Persian Prince!!
They couldn't find a real Persian to play that part.
I must be getting old, never heard of it.
why does every freakin game got to be made as a movie?!!! I love the prince of persia games, all 3 parts. Hollywood is notorious for fucking up a good game, and I only pray and hope they don't fuck this up as well.
he can be my prince anytime!
I love how they casted a Jew as a Middle Eastern man.Retarded assholes!!
Hmm how about jeez I dont know a PERSIAN person to play the Prince of PERSIA. Hell a latino man would be better than some white dude.
Give it a rest why don't you! Oded Fehr played an Arab terrorist in Sleeper Cell on Showtime, and he is Israeli. In fact, he was in the Israeli army! (He also played that hot cool friend of Brendan Fraser's in the first Mummy movie. He is gorgeous…and way too old to play the Prince. Cher played an Italian in Moonstruck. Jennifer Lopez played Italian in Wedding Planner, Angelina Jolie was British in Lara Croft: Tombraider, John Toturro who is Italian, played a Jew in the movie Quiz Show. If you really think about it, there are hundreds of actors who play people of different nationalities all the time. That's why it's called "acting."
Jake loves cock.
not Persian : / oh well…
What evidence does Perez have that Jake is gay?
Hey PEREZ!!!!!!!!! You SAY you support your FELLOW LATINOS!!!!?????? Hollywood reporter DID NOT break that story!!!!!!! It was LATINO REVIEW…..they break more stories than anyone realizes. Variety and Hollywood Retarded steal from them ALL the time and DON'T give credit. We are all calling for a boycott of Variety and Hollywood Reporter out there!!!!! You want the latest..go to Latino Review.com.
Re: JakeIsAHomo – I wish he'd like MY cock. It's nice and long and thick and 7.5" with lots of foreskin. Mmm..!!!!! Suck me off, Jakey-wakey. Pweeeeeeeeeze??! *lower lips quivers* tee-hee
He was born Prince already! Love him!
Re: Corey Carrier – I am gay as well. Like you, I would "tap his ass" anytime, anywhere. lol. That is if he were gay of course, which I don't think he is. But my point is let's not degrade someone by calling them gay as if it were an insult. That's homophobic and extremely childish. If that wasn't bad enough, you called him a f a g three times. There is absolutely no excuse for this kind of talk which is extremely offensive and never excusable.
he's the sexiest.
Love the guy, but come on… it's the Prince of PERSIA… not… Bruckheimer dropped the ball on this one if this is true.
I hope they do it justice. FYI for you gamer nerds out there who didn't know…this news comes at a not so coincendental time. They're set to come out with a new installment to the video game series toward the end of this year.
U guyz peep persianesque doc com!!!
This is a horrible picture of Jake. But by the way, he is not hot. In fact, ever since he hooked up with Reese, he seems to be getting less sexier by the day. He use to be so good looking. These days he looks too pale, skinny and gaunt. And he gets terrible haircuts and wears dirtbag clothes. What happened to him????? He has defintely lost his appeal.
It was about time! I LOVE THE PRINCE OF PERSIA SERIES!
Jerry is a pretty good guy. AS LONG AS UWE BOLL ISNT DIRECTING I AM FINE WITH IT!
that jerk has destroyed everything he's layed his fingers on.
actually, resident evil was a really good movie.
i used to have prince of persia on my black and whit apple classic a looooong time ago, i loved that game!!! go to hell perez you probably jsut sucked at it.
Prince of Persia started as a video game, and the games were not "adaptations", the film is. They were quality and critically acclaimed games and actually did really well, too…try getting your facts right.
HOT.
Bollywood actor John Abraham would be perfect for this role. I don't get why would cast a all american blue eyed boy.
WTF they couldn't even get a persian actor to play the prince of PERSIA? I feel gipped. I don't hate jake gyllenhaal but he seems a poor choice for the part. movie is gonna suck big time, which is unfortunate since its not a bad game at all.
The Prince of Persia series are awesome. Why the hell did they cast him in the lead? Wtf. The Prince is supposed to be dark and sexy and PERSIAN, not some white dude with blue eyes. Stupid f*cking Hollywood or whatever it is always screws things up. Can't the directors get actors who look like the lead? Seriously… a bunch of idiots…
I don't see any art in this
Oh nooo! Not him!

"Video game adaptations have kinda sucked in the past."
And heres me thinking Tomb Raider was a big hit….!!!
absolutely love gyllenhaal, but i seriously dont see him as Prince of Persia - no way - it juts doesnt work - if there was ever a list for top ten contenders for the role, he wouldnt even be on it.
i like jake, he's pretty swift. but it upsets me that they didn't give the part to someone of the proper ethnic origin. i'm quite happy that other comments have echoed this.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Love Jake, but he's all wrong for the character. They so need a smokin' hot young Persian for this role, not Jake. All wrong - so sad. This is one of my all time favorite video games. They are so going to spoil it.
I LOVE the Prince of Persia series, and I really like Jake Gyllenhaal, but I'm having a hard time picturing him in that role. Hopefully, I'm wrong and the movie will be as awesome as the game.
Re: Lestats_Friend – Although in the game, the voice actor that plays the Prince has that droll kind of Brittish accent and not a Middle Eastern one, I totally agree with you, I had to google him, but someone like that would be perfect. (provided he can act well)
Prince of PERSIA is WHITE! Wow who knew?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo
He's so fugly!!!
what is with perez drawing white substance on every celebs face funny first time not funny on every fuckin pic grow up in fairness!!!
As a fan of the game, I have to say I am rather shocked but not surprised to see this casting. I've heard rumors in the past on this…..I just really hope that Disney doesn't sugarcoat it too much. A little is okay, but a lot is a no-no…..
they beter could take orlando bloom. he would be much beter than he would. jale is a good actor, but he's not made for this kind of movies
NO! Garrett Hedlund lost to that jackass? That's so depressing.
Odd casting…..as far as movies from video games being shit….I liked Hitman. Timothy Olyphant was really good as 47.
I've got the hots for Jake Gyllenhaal
Why would a white boy play an arabian prince??? hello! I think perez would agree with me on this one
Dear ignorant assholes,
Persians are NOT arabs. Persians are Aryans, just like the people of Europe. Go back to your NASCAR, that is all.
couldn't they get comeone of color to play a character of color? that pisses me off! the prince of persia is BROWN!!!!!!!!
i wanna suck on jake's balls
Fist of all, let's pray that Uwe Boll has NOTHING to do with this film. Secondly, is this gonna be a white man playing a Persian???? Let's hope not. We don't want another "21". Seriously, this Whiteout has to stop. Whenever they can get away with it in Hollywood, they have a caucasian person play an ethnic person. At least they try and get the make up just right. The fact is, they HAVE to do this because there simply aren't enough ethnic actors that can carry/lead a movie to big box office. Who's fault is that????
Fuckkkkkkkkk yeah! Prince of Persia was so good back in the days. jake is smoking hot but he doesn't reallllly look like the character - Rodrigo Santoro would have been better.
David Zandi the real Prince of Persia should've been hired. Disney and Jerry really screwed up this great franchise.
