Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is perhaps the most concerted effort toward getting a video game property onto the big screen. With backing by Jerry Bruckheimer, a proper director (Mike Newell, known for Four Weddings and a Funeral, and Donnie Brasco), and input from Prince of Persia creator Jordan Mechner, this has the potential to be the slickest video game property on the big screen, giving the impression that it will be enjoyable for children at least.
In a panel at Wondercon, director Newell, producer Bruckheimer, lead actor Jake Gyllenhaal, and creator Jordan Mechner, who also wrote the first draft of the script, discussed their thoughts on bringing this property to the non-interactive stage.

Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "Over the past few weeks we have been talking a lot about video remakes. Which are great, which are bad and whether or not the industry as a whole is better off with or without them. Well today it all comes to a head as we count down the Top 10 games that we would love to see remade! Some of these are classic gems, that are still perfectly playable today while others are games that could definitely use some sprucing up to fix nagging issues that have kept them from reaching the next level but the one thing they all have in common is that we would love these classics to get a fresh coat of paint."
Would I like remakes for most of those games on the list? Sure.
Do I trust any of the companies which own those IPs, to make anything even remotely worthy of the original? Not a f****n chance.
Except maybe Zelda II and Kid Icarus for obvious reasons.
Red alert or red alert 2 remakes would be amazing but they aren't going to happen as EA completely ruined the franchise. Even if EA decided to remake it, it would have microtransactions and probably have mobile construction yards or something stupid like CNC4 did.
EA ruined this franchise and its a damn shame... We won't see it ever again unless they make a mobile game out of it full of microtransaction goodness.
Check out the price of some of the original Xbox backwards compatible games.
Glad I still own my original games, not all of them but a few from the list already
As an avid Xbox fan, this is great BUT I wish they would start putting this much effort into new exclusive AAA games. This is a fair criticism and if we keep just accepting old games and new hardware we will keep getting the same.
No freakin duh!
stop with this nonsense and get new fresh ideas hollywood.
n4g infected this air jordan bullshit from ign.
When they made "Super Mario Bros. The Movie," is beyond me. If there's ever any proof for that statement, that movie is it.
