Another video game series is being eyed for a film adaptation franchise, this time the Prince of Persia games from Ubisoft. The game has taken off in recent years with at least 3 recent sequels and become a huge hit for Ubisoft. The series has been in discussion for a while with Disney, since Hollywood mogul Jerry Bruckheimer bought the rights in 2004. The Jim Hill Media blog talked about it briefly, stating that “in theory [Prince of Persia] will be Disney's big action-adventure release for the Summer of 2008.” Which afterwards “could then lead to a new hit series of movies for the studio.”

I think the prince would make a very good movie.

Should be interesting, hopefully this won't be a typical game > movie failure.

splinter cell (24-style, not necessarily split-screen) might have made a better movie, or maybe a rainbow six (tears of the sun/jarhead -type story).

No, aka of Persian decent. More like Iranian, etc.

I think this could be a very good movie, story-driven with some action, but it's not all sci-fi or horror like Resident Evil, Final Fantasy, or Silent Hill.

Dude! I resent that! Persians are NOT Iranians!

hehe, good news!
would love to see the movie, but POP is violently type of game, if they made it any less (blood, gore etc), then movie will be lame !
P.S, Persian is an English word for Iranian, Plz Consult google !
