Stratagem - New Face of Hollywood's Video Game Adaptations

Video game adaptations haven't been a big hit in Hollywood. Will "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" based on Jordan Mechner's 1989 classic video game franchise change that?

Jake Gyllenhaal, Gemma Arterton (Princess Tamina), Ben Kingsley with director, Mike Newell believe fans of the game will not only be impressed, but that it will will re-invent video game
adaptations. Jake Gyllenhaal stars as Dastan, a street-dwelling rascal who so impresses the local ruler with his skills, adopted as a prince, the heir to the throne. When the world is threatened by an evil Vizier, Dastan teams up with the lovely Princess Tamina (Gemma Arterton) on a quest to recover the Sands of Time and save the kingdom, and the world from the ultimate sandstorm.

Fans will undoubtedly be looking for their favourite video game elements. Fans will recognize elements from "Warrior Within" and "The Two Thrones."

So far, the reviews say that the images and trailers look promising.

If this catches on, 3D will have a whole new genre of content.
