I REALLY hope they'll do a Warrior Within movie! Now that was a frickin fantastic game, one of my favs TBH.

It'd look good on the big screen if done right :yes:

i think they've mixed elements from the first 2 games together a bit if you watch the trailer carefully, i dont want to give away anything with spoilers. (or maybe i'm just seeing things)

just remembering back to playing sands of time and warrior within makes me want to play rival swords/two thrones even though i heard it wasnt as good as the previous installments

The trailer looks good. I think it'll be a fun, entertaining summer blockbuster and it looks like it's keeping the feel of the game, Sands of Time.

I just have one question though; Why for being called the "Prince of PERSIA" do many characters, including said Prince, seem to have English accents?

For the same reason foreign characters speak English and aliens speak English [in movies]: people don't like to read subtitles.

I have a feeling it's going to be a flop. Jake Gyllenhaal doesn't look Persian at ALL and the girl doesn't seem adequate for the role as well. If you are making a movie about Prince of "Persia", you'd expect the actors to at least look like someone from that time and land.

Avatar on the other hand looks to be EPIC.

Yeah but subtitles aside you can put on the accent without speaking the language. Well...Some actors can anyways.

Ah well. It is what it is and PoP is a Jerry Bruckheimer produced summer blockbuster. It could be worse - It could be a Michael Bay produced or directed film. Then instead of British accents we'd be getting American ones and a product placement every five seconds.

I actually hate the fake accents most of the time. And I would be mad if I had to endure arabic and indian accent in the entire movie. Its much more sensible to go with the original accents of the actors/market for which the movie is being made that is UK or US.

    • Google reshuffles its AI coding team as it struggles to catch Anthropic by Karthik Mudaliar Google is already reorganizing the AI coding “strike team” it created roughly two months ago, as it attempts to find ways to close the gap with Anthropic in one of generative AI’s most commercially important areas. According to The Information, Google DeepMind is expanding the team’s focus to include “midtraining,” rather than concentrating only on coding tools and agents. Midtraining takes place after a model’s broad initial training but before the final stages that prepare it to follow instructions and perform specific tasks. In simple terms, it gives developers another opportunity to expose a model to carefully selected data before it is polished for release. That could help Google improve Gemini’s underlying coding abilities instead of relying only on better prompts, interfaces, or post-training. Previous research has found that midtraining can be particularly effective for code and mathematics, where models must move from general language knowledge to more structured tasks. Google reportedly created the original strike team in April. It was led by Google DeepMind research engineer Sebastian Borgeaud, who previously worked on model pretraining, and focused on complex, long-running programming jobs. Google co-founder Sergey Brin and Google DeepMind chief technology officer Koray Kavukcuoglu were also reportedly involved in the effort. DeepMind researchers were said to believe that Anthropic’s coding tools were outperforming Google’s Gemini models, prompting the company to give the project more attention. Anthropic has made coding a central part of its AI strategy through Claude Code and its Claude model family. The company has continued improving that area, with Claude Opus 4.8 offering upgrades for coding and other agentic tasks, along with the now-unavailable Mythos and Fable models. The reshuffle also comes at a time when Google faces increased competition for AI researchers. Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer recently announced that he was leaving Google for OpenAI, while two other researchers who contributed to Gemini and DeepMind projects are reportedly preparing to join Anthropic. It remains unclear whether the reorganized team will produce a new public Gemini model or developer product. No release date, team size, or specific performance target has been disclosed.
