Jake Gyllenhaal offers up his bedroom eyes in a new image from Prince of Persia. It's the basis for the film's latest teaser poster, AFTER THE JUMP...
Jake Gyllenhaal says that while there were many challenges about filming Prince of Persia, like the desert heat, and learning Parkour, and gladiator-style fighting, his greatest fear was facing down the killer ostriches:
"There is a not a CGI ostrich in this movie. They are all real ostriches. Highly paid. We were all briefed for weeks before; that they're these massive destructive creatures who can tear your heart out with their claw. I swear to god, I was shaking in my boots. I walked up and the stuntman was in the ring with them and finally I was like 'When am I going be in a f**king cage with ostriches again in my life? I've got to get in there!' And so I got in there and they were the sweetest things. But every day is like that. You get in there and you do it and there's an experience I'll never be able to have again. Well, hopefully the ostriches will come back again either in re-shoots or hopefully in the second one. But that sort of sums it up."
The first official trailer for the video game-to-film adaptation of Prince of Persia, starring a bulked-up Jake Gyllenhaal as Prince Dastan, has been released.
