‘Prince of Persia’ Super Bowl Commercial

Published by Jeff Leins on: February 7th, 2010

Disney ran a well-placed commercial for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time during the Super Bowl tonight, and kept the buzz going for their big-budget summer tentpole.  In the group I was in everyone recognized the brand and commented on the choice of Jake Gyllenhaal for the lead.  I guess that’s all you can hope for. At least they were wearing pants, which is more than I can say for a few particularly horrible ads.

The video game adaptation is hoping to overcome the stigma of a genre that regularly strikes out with audiences.  Could this be the first well-liked game-to-movie?  Check out all the special effects below and try not to cringe when he says “Daggah!”

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is scheduled for May 28, 2010.
