New 'Prince of Persia' Photos Roll Out

Empire Online has put forth a series of brand new photos from "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time". Two of the fresh pictures display Jake Gyllenhaal as Prince Dastan and Gemma Arterton as Princess Tamina trying to make their escape.

The first one sees the two drenched from head to toe with water, jumping off from what seems to be a palace. The second one captures them escaping on horseback. In addition to those two images, photos of director Mike Newell and producer Jerry Bruckheimer on the set are also included.

Based on Ubisoft Montreal's 2003 video game of the same name, "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time" follows Dastan, a street urchin in 6th century Persia who after showing valor in battle, is adopted by the king as his heir. Now as the fate of the world is in jeopardy, he must join forces with Tamina, a feisty and exotic princess, to prevent a villainous nobleman from possessing the Sands of Time, a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world.

Directed by "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" helmer Mike Newell, the Walt Disney's feature project stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Gemma Arterton, Ben Kingsley and Alfred Molina. The action adventure movie is set to be released in the U.S. May 28, 2010.
