Vulnerability comes to mind when I see this official production still of Jake Gyllenhaal, playing Prince Dastan in Jerry Bruckheimer’s epic Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, due May 28, 2010.
Gyllenhall is looking pretty fine in his Persian clothes, but as he explains to EW.com it was a chance to get into some serious action. “I’m tired of taking myself so seriously,” says the actor, who found himself sword-fighting, climbing walls, and jumping off of buildings as part of the prince’s quest to find an enchanted dagger and turn back time. “It’s nice when a stuntman turns to you and is like, ‘Actors don’t normally do this.’”
The first trailer to promote director Jim Sheridan’s film Brothers is like a little film within itself, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Natalie Portman, Tobey Maguire, Sam Shepard, and Mare Winningham. The trailer is gripping to watch with incredible acting by everyone. Toby Maguire takes it on emotionally and physically. But as a feature film will it be too gripping? Come December we will see.
Prince of Persia is supposed to be the action adventure like Pirates of the Caribbean, and if this picture of Jake Gyllenhaal is any indication of how the film will be, then I am the first one there on opening day.
Oh, take a look at Jake Gyllenhall. He is looking good. What a brute. Here he is on the set of his latest movie, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, in Morocco, North Africa.
In the film, Jake plays Dastan, a young prince in sixth century Persia who must join forces with Tamina (Gemma Arterton), a feisty and exotic princess, to avert a villainous nobleman from having the power over the Sands of Time, a gift from the gods that can reverse time and with it the possessor rules the world.
According to Deadline Hollywood Daily, the David Russell-directed indie comedy Nailed has had its production shut down for the fourth time. The problem once again rose from IATSE crew members not being paid and thus being ordered not to show up on set.
There are two days of principal photography still left, including a key restaurant scene, so the situation is expected to be resolved quickly.
The film stars James Marsden, Jessica Biel and Jake Gyllenhaal, and is expected to hit theaters sometime next year following post-production.
