Jake Gyllenhaal will become ‘Prince of Persia’
Based on the popular video game series that’s [nearly] as old as I am, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time will star Jake Gyllenhaal and Gemma Arterton. The film will be produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and directed by Mike Newell.
[ In the fantasy adventure, Gyllenhaal will play Dastan, a young prince in 6th century Persia who must join forces with Tamina (Arterton), a feisty and exotic princess, to prevent a villainous nobleman from possessing the Sands of Time, a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world.] — The Hollywood Reporter



2 things will keep the video gamers happy on this one:
1. Amazing stunt work to capture the sweet stuff you can do in the game.
2. A really really cool effect for when he reverses time and does something the second time.
I think its a pretty good idea not that there aren’t other sites out there that already do something similar but I think it might catch on here pretty well
