Persian Prince Favored For Prince Of Persia Role

IESB.net has gotten their hands on a the results of a worldwide casting survey performed for the role of Prince Dastan in Jerry Bruckheimer's upcoming Prince of Persia movie, and from the questions asked and the audience reaction it certainly looks like there is a clear front runner. Both international and U.S. audiences overwhelmingly favored David K. Zandi, motion picture executive, actor, champion equestrian, model, and honest to goodness Persian prince. One of the last male members of the Zand dynasty (1747 - 1779), David has also studied both fencing and Roman sword fighting in England, so the only way he could be better suited for the role is if he actually possessed control of the Sands of Time, which I am not completely ruling out at this point. Zandi beat out the likes of Cilian Murphy, Orlando Bloom, and Zac Efron in the audience poll, conducted between January 2005 and June 2007. Hit up the link for a complete rundown of the audience poll results.

All you have to do is answer a handful of questions about why you love Twisted Metal so much on camera, then upload your cliip to YouTube. It looks like the details are still being worked out, but the questions you'll need to answer are set in stone.

Did I mention that in addition to PlayStation fame, you'll also score a free copy of the game if selected? Not a bad bonus for a few minutes of rambling.

Please help up with the Twisted Documentary... [TMA]

Spike TV Needs Gamers

Know some toddler who's a menace with the dual analog sticks? Does your grandfather pwn noobs in Madden? Then their skills are required. A sketch comedy show for Spike TV needs young gamers and old gamers young at heart for a bit they are putting together.
