He wanted to undo the act and hence ensure that he had supreme power over Persia, even before the Emperor's son's were born. However, Prince Dastan is fooled into presenting a toxic gown to the Emperor, that further burns and kills the Emperor. Prince Dastan is held as the cause for his father's murder, although it had been planned by Nizam. Prince Dastan and Princess Tamina escape from Persia together and return secretly for his father's funeral. Dastan tries to convince the Nizam that he was not the cause of his father's death, but fails in convincing him, and is almost killed by his brothers. Dastan then meets a group of outcast Tax-defaulters who try to take the Dagger of time and Princess Tamina from him, but fail in the process. Nizam uses a group of expert killers trained in the art of quick death called Hassassins. They manage to snatch the dagger of time from Tamina, and kill Dastan's brothers in the process. The dagger is kept in the Sacred temple at Almouth. However, a slave belonging to the tax-defaulters group manage to get provide the dagger of time back to Tamina and Dastan, who promise to return it. However, the Nizam gains back control of it and is able to find the sands where the dagger has to be stuck for moving back in time. As Nizam enters the caves beneath the earth, Tamina manages to open a secret gate leading to the caves. However, in the process, Tamina is killed and she asserts that Dastan carries on and gets back the dagger or else the entire world would be destroyed. Dastan further tries to save the world from being destroyed. When the Sands of Time are released Dastan and Nizam go back in time to the day of the siege and Dastan proves that Nizam wants the throne for himself. Dastan and Nizam fight until Tus kills Nizam with a knife. The credits begin to roll with the same words from the begining of the movie.

After this introductory scene, it's revealed the Persians are about to attack the sacred city of Alamut. They believe Alamut is selling weapons to the enemies of Persia and that's why Tus decides to attack the city. Garsiv, the head of Persian army, is supposed to lead the first attack. Dastan decides to lead a "backdoor" attack, against the command of his brother.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is a 2010 fantasy adventure film written by José Alberto Villa García, Boaz Yakin, Doug Miro, and Carlo Bernard, directed by Mike Newell, and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. The film is loosely based on the 2003 video game of the same name, developed and released by Ubisoft Montreal.

The film stars Jake Gyllenhaal as Prince Dastan, Gemma Arterton as Princess Tamina, Ben Kingsley as Nizam, and Alfred Molina as Sheik Amar, this the first film directed by Mike Newell to be distributed by Disney (though he directed two films by Miramax Films, but that was before Disney Bought the company).

Despite the film being primarily based on The Sands of Time, elements from Warrior Within and The Two Thrones are also incorporated.

Plot

The plot follows Dastan (Jake Gyllenhaal), a street urchin in the Persian Empire in the sixth century. After showing courage in the market place baffel, he is adopted by the king as his third son. The two older brothers are Tus and Garsiv. He grows up as part of the royal family with "no royal blood and no eye for the throne."

After this introductory scene, it's revealed the Persians are about to attack the sacred city of Alamut. They believe Alamut is selling weapons to the enemies of Persia and that's why Tus decides to attack the city. Garsiv, the head of Persian army, is supposed to lead the first attack. Dastan decides to lead a "backdoor" attack, against the command of his brother. He manages to open the main gate of the Alamut and prevents further casualties from both sides. [3] During the fight in the city, Dastan kills one of the Tamina's guards who's in the possession of the mythical Dagger of Time. The dagger gives its owner the ability to go back in time for a short period and defy the future and its user is the only person that knows it's been used. Later on, Tamina is captured and is offered as a wife for Tus, which would make the city of Alamut a part of Persian empire.

The Persians celebrate their victory and during the celebration, Prince Dastan is fooled into presenting a poisonous gown to King Sharaman, that further burns and kills the Emperor. Prince Dastan is held as the cause for his father's murder. He escapes the castle with Princess Tamina (Gemma Arterton) and they embark on a journey: The Prince wants to prove his innocence and Tamina wants to safeguard the Dagger of Time. During their journey, the duo then meets a group of outcast Tax-defaulters, including entrepreneur and Ostrich races organizer Sheik Amar (Alfred Molina) with his friend Seso (Steve Toussaint) who then try to take the Dagger of Time and Princess Tamina from him, but fail in the process.

Dastan and Tamina return to Persia for King Sharaman's funeral. Dastan tries to convince Nizam that he was not the cause of his father's death, but instead he notices the burns on Nizam's hands, which indicate he was the one who killed his father. Dastan and Tamina must stop a common enemy - the villainous brother of the king, Nizam (Ben Kingsley)[4]. It's revealed that the attack was based on false allegations provided by Nizam and promoted with a motive to attain the Dagger of Time and use it with the massive Sandglass, which is hidden under the city of Alamut. This way Nizam would go back in time before he had saved the King Sharaman from being attacked by a Lion and undo the act, hence ensure that he becomes the King of Persia, even before the Emperor's son's were born. The Sandglass is the source of the Sands of Time, but by unleashing them, they transform into a massive sandstorm, which could destroy the entire world.

The duo escapes the pursuit and travels to the secret sanctuary in the mountains, where it's possible to destroy the dagger by returning it to the Gods. In order to do so, Tamina would have to sacrifice herself, but it doesn't happen as they encounter Hassansins (black magic experts and elite warriors sent by Nizam) who manage to snatch the Dagger of Time from Tamina, and kill Dastan's brothers in the process.

Tamina and Dastan, as well as Sheik Amar and Seso return to Alamut to reveal the truth about Nizam and the dagger to Tus and get the dagger, which is kept in the sacred temple, guarded by one of the Hassansins. Seso, the master of throwing knives, gets the Dagger, but he's fatally wounded in the process. Dastan then shows the truth about the Dagger to his brother Tus, but afterwards Tus is killed by Nizam and the dagger is once again is Nizam's hands. Nizam goes to the Sandglass chamber beneath the earth, as Dastan and Tamina race against the time to stop him. Tamina opens a secret gate leading to the chamber, which allows them to reach Nizam as he pierces the Sandglass with the dagger. During the final confrontation, Tamina slips into the bottomless pit as she asserts that it's Dastan's destiny to carry on and stop Nizam. Dastan fights Nizam as they both hold their hands on the Dagger. Dastan then uses the Dagger's button to open the Sands of Time container and use its power against Nizam. The Sandglass slowly cracks and the sandstorm is shown destroying Alamut. He is then able to use the Daggerand turn back the time, just as the Sandglass breaks. The timeline returns to the point when Dastan holds the Dagger for the first time, during the siege of Alamut.

In the final scenes of the movie, Dastan uses his knowledge to reveal Nizam's evil plan to his brothers. They don't believe at first, but Nizam then attacks Dastan and as he is close to killing him, he is saved by his brother Tus. The Prince then meets Tamina for the first time and returns the Dagger of Time to her, as she is looking at him surprised. Tus then suggests that perhaps Tamina should become Dastan's wife. The two of them are next shown talking to each other and Tamina expressing her surprise about Dastan's sudden change in behavior. The credits begin to roll with the same words from the beginning of the movie.

Production

In March 2004, the production company Jerry Bruckheimer Films sought to acquire feature film rights to the 2003 video game Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time with the film to be distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. Under John August as executive producer, the series' creator Jordan Mechner was hired to write the script. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer's Pirates of the Caribbean film trilogy served as a touchstone in how a theme park ride was converted into a film franchise. According to Mechner, "Rather than do a straight beat-for-beat adaptation of the new videogame, we're taking some cool elements from the game and using them to craft a new story."[5] Mechner previously considered producing an animated film based on the games, but could not resist Disney and Bruckheimer's offer.[6] In February 2006, Disney hired screenwriter Jeffrey Nachmanoff to write a new script for Prince of Persia.[7]

Early in 2007, Disney announced Prince of Persia as one of its tentpole films and by June had scheduled a release date for July 10, 2009, before having a final script or any actors attached.[8] By November 2007, Disney entered negotiations with Mike Newell to direct the film based on a script by Mechner and Nachmanoff, though the studio held off production until the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike was resolved.[9] Newell was fond of Bruckheimer's films,[10] and loved the "exciting [and] immensely romantic" script, which reminded him of Lost Horizon. His assistant played the video games and gave the director key details.[11] Mechner, in writing the script, re-conceived the storyline to shift the perspective from the interactive one experienced by video gamers to the non-interactive experience by film audiences. The screenwriter left out elements of the Prince of Persia video games Warrior Within and The Two Thrones and did not anticipate including these elements in the film's possible sequels.[6]

When filming began, the film's release date was postponed to May 28, 2010, with the studio seeking enough time for the post-production process in designing the film's special effects. The profit margin on the Pirates of the Caribbean films was compromised by overspending as special effects teams rushed to complete the films for their release dates.[12] Variety also ascribed the postponement to avoiding the potential 2008 Screen Actors Guild strike so the studio could ensure that the film leads to a "mega-franchise" similar to its successful Pirates of the Caribbean series.[13] Other reasons for the release date change were that the film was originally scheduled a week before Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and Disney needed more time to co-ordinate its marketing campaign.[12]

Casting

On May 20, 2008, it was announced that Jake Gyllenhaal would portray Dastan, the protagonist of the film. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer explained his choice, "He's a wonderful actor. He's someone I've been watching for a long time and somebody I've always wanted to work with."[14] Gyllenhaal claims he "over-prepared"[15] for the role, gaining five or six pounds of muscle.[15] The actor says, "…I never knew how much they were going to ask me to do, so I just made sure I'd be hopefully able to do anything."[15] Gemma Arterton was announced to play the role of protagonist Tamina,[14] and Arterton reported she practiced horse back riding in Madrid before filming.[16] Sir Ben Kingsley was to portray the film's antagonist, Nizam.[17] Alfred Molina was to portray a character named Sheik Amar, who becomes a mentor to the prince.[18] Toby Kebbell was to play Prince Garsiv, Dastan's brother, and head of the Persian army.[19] The leading characters of the film all speak with a recognisable British English accent, albeit with a slight Middle Eastern colour.

Filming

In March 2008, director Mike Newell selected Morocco as a shooting location for Prince of Persia and also planned to film in Pinewood Studios. Production was scheduled to begin in mid-June 2008.[20] By May 2008, actors Jake Gyllenhaal and Gemma Arterton were cast into the lead roles. With a new script by Jordan Mechner, Doug Miro, Carlo Bernard, and Boaz Yakin, filming began in July 2008 in Morocco as well as London.[14] Eight weeks were spent in Morocco before the first unit moved to Pinewood.[15] The film is intended to be the first in a seven film series.[citation needed]

Marketing

Mechner, Gyllenhaal, Bruckheimer, and Newell at a panel promoting the film at WonderCon 2010.

The Prince of Persia poster made its debut as a background prop in a 2009 Bruckheimer production, Confessions of a Shopaholic, similar to how Warner Brothers incorporated poster for various developed but never filmed projects based on their comic-book characters in I Am Legend.[22] The week of Confessions of a Shopaholic’s release, Disney signed a merchandising deal with Lego for the film.[23]

The trailer was released on the internet on November 2, 2009. In the trailer, it is shown that Nizam has released the Sands of Time (via the dagger) to destroy the Kingdom, thus forcing Dastan to take back the dagger and retrieve it to the "Secret Guardian Temple," along with Princess Tamina. It also shows that using the dagger will cause half of the Prince's body to become "flamed," a homage to the element in Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones (where the Prince is possessed by the Sands of Time). Disney will also release merchandise such as action figures, sets, costumes and a replica Dagger Of Time. It will also release a graphic novel called Prince of Persia: Before the Sandstorm, which will act as a prequel to the film. Also, a video game is being developed by Ubisoft Montreal titled Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands that will be released alongside the film; however, the game's story is unrelated to the film, and instead serves as a midquel to the first two games in the Sands of Time trilogy.

Release

Disney's marketing strategy included a step by step release of the film. Prince of Persia was released first in Europe, with its world premiere held in Westfield, London, UK on May 9 then premiered on May 19, 2010 in France, the Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland, and on May 20 in Germany.[24] It was released on May 21 in the United Kingdom, Spain and Turkey. It was released in Hong Kong, Philippines, and Malaysia on May 27. The film was not released in the United States until May 28 in order to try and profit from the potentially higher audience on Memorial Day weekend. It was also be released in India and Nigeria on May 28.

Reception

The film has received generally mixed reviews. Review aggregate Rotten Tomatoes reports that 40% of critics have given the film a positive review based on 151 reviews, with an average score of 5/10. [25] Among Rotten Tomatoes' Cream of the Crop, which consists of popular and notable critics from the top newspapers, websites, television, and radio programs,[26] the film holds an overall rating of 23%. [27] Another review aggretator, Metacritic, which calculates an average rating based on reviews from mainstream critics, gave a score of 48/100.[28] Chicago Sun-Times film critic Roger Ebert gave the film two stars out of four and wrote, "The two leads are not inspired. Jake Gyllenhaal could make the cover of a muscle mag, but he plays Dastan as if harboring Spider-Man's doubts and insecurities." [29]

Box office

As of May 28, 2010, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time has earned $40.3 million in foreign countries.[2]

Cultural references

The movie is based on characters and cultural elements of the game, which in turn is loosely based on characters of Persian mytyhology such as The Shahnameh (a.k.a. "Book of Kings"), and a famous legend involving Malik-Shah I, Nizam al-Mulk, and Hassan-i Sabbah in Persian literature. The name "Dastan" e.g. is derived from Rostam Dastan, a hero in the Shahnameh. So is "Tahmina" (from Tahmina), and "Garsiv" (from Garsivaz). Roger Ebert seems to think that Dastan's character is reminiscient of the character of Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves of Baghdad from One Thousand and One Nights, itself another Persian tale.[29] The film's storyline and cultural elements thus seem to be a mixture of different time periods and sources, perhaps in order to paint a more attractive setting for the film's background. For example, while the architecture of the city is that of the Mughal era of India (with particular emphasis on India's Red Fort), the "guardians" of the dagger in the film seem to be wearing Zoroastrian robes.

The name "Alamut" refers to the Alamut fortress, and the name "Hassansins" refers to the Hashshashin cult, led by Hassan-i Sabbah. They practice a dark magic form of mysticism, and with the aid of "Nizam", plan the demise of the Persian Royal family, in the film. "Nizam" refers to Nizam al-Mulk, grand vizier of Malik-Shah I, King of Persia, who like in the movie, was also murdered. The snakes in the robe of the Hassansin leader in the film also has a Shahnameh precedence: The mythical Zahak, whom serpents grow out from his shoulders.
