Prince Of Persia Film Deal Planned?

Jerry Bruckheimer Films, which not long ago secured the film rights to American McGee's Oz creation, is looking to pick up another videogame peculiarity Variety reports that Bruckheimer's production company is negotiating a deal for Ubisoft's Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, which would include creative involvement from game designer Jordan Mechner

Mechner would write the film's script, beneath the supervision of executive agriculturist John August (writer of Big Fish and Charlie's Angels: filled Throttle), although he told Variety that the film might not necessarily stick for a like reason close to the template of the game. "Rather than do a straight beat-for-beat adaptation of the of recent origin video game," he said, "we're taking a certain quantity of cool elements from the game and using them to craft a of recent origin story, much as [Pirates of the Caribbean] did with the theme park ride."

The film would eventually be released end Disney. If the deal does advance through, we look forward to hearing more upon the project as it develops
