Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
With Michael Bay set to launch what looks to be a huge franchise, Transformers, the director has found time to reteam with Jerry Bruckheimer to try his hand at the adaptation of the popular videogame, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.
Michael Bay to Direct Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
According to IESB, not only has a director been confirmed for a Prince of Persia film, but a release date as well.
Bruckheimer has teamed up with him in the past to bring you Bad Boys I and II, The Rock, Pearl Harbor and Armageddon. Yes, that’s right, Michael Bay is directing Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time for a Summer ’09 release.
The IESB was able to confirm with Disney Studios that they are hopeful that Michael Bay will indeed direct the picture right after he is done with this Summer’s blockbuster, Transformers.
This feature film adaptation is “based on the video game, which follows an adventurous prince who teams up with a rival princess to stop an angry ruler from unleashing a sandstorm that could destroy the world.”
Even with the success rate of videogame adaptations at a way low, Prince of Persia is just one of many new, high-budget projects coming our way.
