Kingsley & Molina Join PERSIA Adaptation

Ben Kingsley joining the cast is like the kiss of death to any movie. Good luck, you'll need it.

On the other hand, Alfred Molina joined at the same time. Maybe the two will cancel each other out.

Also, don't forget, Kingsley has been nominated for an Oscar 4 times, and won 1 time. He just has trouble choosing his genre material. As many bad movies as he's been in, he's bound to choose a good one eventually. Hopefully, this will be it.

I don't think they cancelled each other out in Species. But then both were pretty much wasted in it so what the hell.
Agree that Kingsley has trouble choosing genre material which is disappointing because he can be so brilliant. But also in part agree with Wiseguy...I'm getting a different feeling about this movie now he's in it.

you are getting a bad vibe cause Kingsley is in it? that's the least of this flick's problem. The main one is casting Jake as the Prince!! He ain't a bad actor but he ain't no Prince of Persial.

God of WAr where you at!!!!!!?? Someone make the flick please!

Gyllenhaal actually does bear some some resemblance to the Prince from Sands of Time. I hate to give a genetics lecture again, but a thousand years ago, physical traits in that region weren't exactly like they are today. Get that dude into the gym, get him a tan, and he should be fine. The Prince's eyes were blue, so that's not a problem either. It would have been nice if they found an actor from the region to play the role, especially since those guys are unfortunately relegated to playing extremist roles on 24 and the like, but then again we're lucky they didn't go with Orlando Bloom or something.
