OYE!
EL ALMIGHTY MAYIMBE AQUI WITH ANOTHER LATINOREVIEW EXCLUSIVE!
Ok, on the heel’s of yesterday’s news that Orlando Bloom is NOT going to be Dastan in PRINCE OF PERSIA: The Sands of Time, I decided to snoop around today and find out who is or who Disney is at least looking at.
Ok, here is what I just learned from multiple sources in Hollywood just minutes ago.
THE OFFER IS OUT TO JAKE GYLLENHAAL!
I think a solid choice.
When I used to live in Hollywood (now I live in the valley) and go up to Runyon Canyon Park for my morning workout, I used to run into Jake all the time. The dude is ripped and certainly has the physicality for the role of DASTAN…
…BUT here is where it gets tricky.
If you follow the blogs like I do, Jake has been sporting crutches lately in public because he hurt his ankle playing basketball. Now I don’t know the severity of his injury and it doesn’t seem that bad since the he just got back from vacationing in Mexico with girlfriend Reese Witherspoon.
The complication is that I don’t know how much more time Jake is going to need to heal because if you read my script review “HERE”, the role is very physical. Lots of Parkour involved and I don’t know if Disney feels like waiting for Jake to heal his ankle. Then again, they might get Jake one hell of a stunt double so let’s see. After all, Tobey Maguire did Spiderman 2 hurt. If Jake books the role, ya’ll know where you heard it first. I loved the games for over twenty years. Hopefully, the movie will be just as good.
The film of course is based on the video game, which follows an adventurous prince who teams up with a rival princess to stop an angry ruler from unleashing a sandstorm that could destroy the world.
