We already know that Jake Gyllenhaal will be playing Prince Dastan in the movie adaptation of Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. We now have our first look at the first still shot straight from the movie, which isn't from the film roll of paparazzi stalking the actor on the set. This one's official, ladies (and gents).

Jake Gyllenhaal as Prince Dastan - Image 1


"I'm tired of taking myself so seriously," said Jake Gyllenhaal about his role, where he also performed his own Sands of Time stunts, that we know to include wall-scaling, sword-fighting, and high-jumping all over the place. "It's nice when a stuntman turns to you and is like, 'Actors don't normally do this.'"

What i'm trying to say is Mexican isn't the only dark person out there

 » its not that

it isn't that mexicans can't act is that the "mexican" hollywood doesn't know how to pick out good actors they like screw things up like picking an action movie actor and put him/her in a soap opera movie type movie or a horror movie actor and put him/her in a kids movie...

I think he looks fine as the prince and if his previous work has anything to say about it, he'll do fine in the role.

This guy doesn't deserve to be tagged gay by brokeback. He was so great as Donnie Darko...

Or never played the game or something. The pic looks perfect. The lighting isn't so good, but the costume looks great and he looks quite a bit like the Prince. If they stay true to the great story and fill it with all the amazing stunts the Prince can do this may be a great video game movie
