The other day I was invited, along with a number of other video game and movie sites, to Jerry Bruckheimer’s office in Santa Monica to watch the “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time” trailer. While the trailer will be online and in theaters very soon, Disney decided to premiere the trailer to our lucky group and they also gave us twenty minutes with Jerry Bruckheimer and “Prince of Persia” creator Jordan Mechner. While I’ll have a transcript of what they said next, I can tell you what I thought about the trailer right now.

My quick thought is we’re finally going to get an awesome movie based on a video game. Up to now, every video game based movie has been treated by Hollywood as a joke. They never have a budget. The scripts have been terrible. Also, after you see the movie, you lose respect for the game it’s based on. But from the two minutes of awesome that is the “Prince of Persia” trailer, I think more people are going to want to play the game because it looks so cool. And don’t get me started on how awesome it looks when Jake Gyllenhaal uses the Dagger of Time. More after the jump:
