Jake Gyllenhaal in Prince of Persia — See it or Skip it?
Last summer, we saw a lot of Jake Gyllenhaal in London with his girlfriend Reese Witherspoon as he worked on Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time in the UK. He stars in the movie alongside Gemma Arterton, Alfred Molina and Ben Kingsley, and the trailer has just been released! It's not out until May 2010, but check out this action packed preview and let me know — do you think you'll see it, or skip it?
Movie Preview: Jake Gyllenhaal in Prince of Persia
I've been waiting on a trailer for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time for what feels like forever (more specifically, ever since those first photos of Jake all buff and shirtless).
The preview starts off strong, immediately taking us on an adventure quest that doesn't make any attempt to hide its video game origins. The effects are amazing, though I couldn't help snickering the first time Gyllenhaal speaks in a British accent.
First Look at Jake Gyllenhaal as Prince of Persia — Sexy or Not?
Back in July we caught a preview of what long-haired Jake Gyllenhaal will look like in Prince of Persia, but we were not prepared for what we see here. Jake debuted his super buff bod in Morocco today, taking a break from filming to spend time with his special on-set visitor Reese. Who knew he was hiding all that muscle under his shirts?

Scruffy Jake Rides On in Jolly Old England
Jake Gyllenhaal looked like he was really enjoying his training for Prince of Persia in London today. The white horse is princely for sure, but we don't know if we quite feel the same way about his scruffy beard and long hair. Either way, it looks like we'll have plenty of action scenes packed with cute Jake galloping around when the fantasy movie finally hits the theaters.
