Jake Gyllenhaal Fans: Your Prince Has Come

Jake Gyllenhaal has nabbed the title role in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, the film adaptation of the popular video game.

Gyllenhaal plays Dastan, a young prince in 6th Century Persia. He teams up with Tamina (played by Gemma Arterton) to battle a villain who intends to process the Sands of Time and - you guessed it - reverse time, and set the stage for him to rule the world.

Production starts this summer in Morocco and England. - J.R. Whalen
