Prince of Persia: The Movie: The LEGO Playsets

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is getting more than just a big budget film adaptation next year. It's also getting a LEGO brick adaptation of that very same movie. You know what that means? Chesty Jake LEGO!

According to the LEGO obsessed crew at Brickset, there will be at least five set pieces turned sets of LEGO pieces, featuring various Prince of Persia predicaments. These include Quest Against Time, Hassasins Hide Out, Fight For The Dagger, Battle of Almut and The Ostrich Race. That last set of LEGO appears to be the only one which may contain a shirtless Jake mini-fig, if that's the sort of thing you might be into.

All five sets—well, save for Hassasins Hide Out, which is not pictured—look like a lot of LEGO fun, but the set to own is clearly The Ostrich Race. It's not often that LEGO ostriches come along.

Gossip blog Just Jared has snaps of our first look at Jake Gyllenhaal filling the shoes of Dartan, better known as the Prince of Persia in the upcoming film adaptation. Looks like Jake's tapping into his inner steroid-abusing homeless man for the role, a tasty melange of ripped and filthy. The Prince of Persia: Sands of Time movie won't be starring Reese Witherspoon, as far as we know, but should you have a hunger for more Jake-style man meat, just try to block her out in the other shirtless spy pics.

Oh, and thanks to all the tipsters who sent this one in. You guys really have your fingers on the pulse of breaking topless Jake Gyllenhaal news.

The Mike Newell-directed, Jake Gyllenhaal-starring Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time movie won't make it to theaters next year as planned. According to a report from Coming Soon, Disney has delayed the Hollywood adaption of the Ubisoft game to May 28, 2010. Coming Soon pegs its release between the planned bowing of the next Shrek picture and Marvel's Thor movie. Heartbreaking news to the both of you who were planning on taking off that Friday.

The new Prince of Persia game? Seems to be coming along nicely, according to what we weren't allowed to touch at Comic-Con. We did, however, press the Start button on the PlayStation 3 controller before it was snatched out of our hands. That bit worked perfectly.

Prince of Persia Movie Script Reviewed

Two years ago Latinoreview got their hands on an early draft of the Halo script, now they've managed to land the script for the upcoming Prince of Persia: Sands of Time movie.

While he doesn't get into much detail, reviewer El Mayimbe said the upcoming movie will be a monster hit as fun as Pirates of the Caribbean and that the script reads like a 9th century Indiana Jones flick.

He then goes on to describe the opening of the first Act, which I won't do in case you, like I, don't want to ruin the experience. If you don't mind and want to read on, hit up the link. Brian Crecente
