    Prince of Persia

    Franchise »

    Prince of Persia is an action adventure series created by Jordan Mechner in the late eighties. The original was a beloved 2D platformer, while the series' later incarnation in The Sands of Time set the bar for modern platforming and continues to influence games a decade later.

    Do you think that Sayid From Lost would have made a better prince?

    When they announced it was Jake Gyllenhaal I was a little disappointed. From what I've seen of Lost, the actor who played Sayid would be be a better choice.

    I don't understand why people think a person of Indian descent looks more Persian then that of a white man... All these racial stereotypes are pretty annoying.

    you know the guy is Indian- British, its just as much of a  stretch for him to play a Persian than a white actor. Also you know these Hollywood movies have to have a star in them.

    All modern "period pieces" are caked in contemporary preconceptions. That's why people have a problem with the prince not being "Persian" enough but don't blink an eye at the fact that they're all speaking Queen's English.
