Prince of Persia - are we excited yet?

Before you dismiss Prince of Persia out of hand, I must tell you this movie stars Jake Gyllenhaal getting hot and sweaty in the desert wearing chainmail and not much else. Got your attention now? Great. For those readers as old as me, you may or not remember Prince of Persia as a video game, where gamers had to try and surmount a range of 'princelike challenges'.

Despite the fact Persia actually doesn't exist any more, Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer Films are about to bring us the new film Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Described in the press release as: "Truly an out of this world and engaging tale filled with amazing gravity-defying stunts" this film release May 27.

Check out the trailer showing the story of the film here or the stunts reel here and let WAstyle readers know what you think. Trash or treasure?
