My opinion- a Prince of Persia film would rock. The setting, potential historical errors aside, is ripe for the silver screen and the opportunity for amazing vistas and action shouldn't be passed up. The character of the Prince could go either way- Disney or dark (ala Warrior Within). Personally, I think Disney are capable of making a very good film of the liscence- remember Disney don't just make kid's films, contrary to pouplar opinion. I think they are one of the few production houses that could bring the charm of The Sands Of Time to the screen.

As for casting, I believe a lot of the mainstream Hollywood A list would be wrong for the part. Partly because an unknown is better and partly because ethnically they're not quite right. Its also unlikely any of them could deliver action-wise. I hope they hire someone capable of all the physical feats rather than resorting to a Charlie's Angels-esque "teach them for two months and strap em on wires" approach. Physically, Tony Jaa would be a good choice, although his English isn't too hot and the guy's Thai, which makes things a little inaccurate!

Hopefully this film won't sit in development hell for too long...
