First Look at 'Prince of Persia' Footage and a New 'Surrogates' Featurette

Get an early preview at a pair of Mouse House flicks

Walt Disney Pictures and Touchstone have unveiled new footage for a pair of their upcoming features. The first being a featurette from the robotic cloning feature Surrogates starring Bruce Willis and Radha Mitchell from director Jonathan Mostow.

Surrogates features Willis and Mitchell as a pair of FBI agents investigating the mysterious murder of a college student linked to the man who helped create a high-tech surrogate phenomenon that allows people to purchase unflawed robotic versions of themselves — fit, good looking remotely controlled machines that ultimately assume their life roles — enabling people to experience life vicariously from the comfort and safety of their own homes.

The film hits theaters on September 25 and also has a viral website associated with the feature. Check out the featurette directly below.

Next comes the footage you probably clicked on the headline for. Our first look at Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, which doesn't hit theaters until May 28, 2010 but is sure to keep people interested until next summer.

The sword and sandal feature is based on the video game set in medieval Persia, Earth's mightiest and most mysterious kingdom, where a king and his son defeat the powerful Maharajah and kidnap his daughter, looting his palace of priceless treasure, including an extravagant hourglass, and a mysterious dagger.

Jake Gyllenhaal stars in the lead role with supporting roles from Gemma Arterton, Alfred Molina and Ben Kingsley with Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire director Mike Newell at the helm.

Below is the first look footage, which includes a lot of interview footage with producer Jerry Bruckheimer. Voice your thoughts on the footage in the comments below.

Surrogate looked AMAZING.
I can't wait for that one.
I also can't wait for Prince of Persia, but that's only because I love the video game.
If they fuck it up I will be PISSED.

Surrogate: could be good, or not so much, hard to tell from this little bit. Bruce Willis has gotten to be a bit of a Johnny One Note in his roles and in his acting. We'll have to see if people are tired of him and/or if this one is worth it. It sounds original though.

Prince of Persia: I'm not getting a good feeling from the little that's leaked about this film so far. This bit doesn't change that. Once again, hard to tell from these tiny snippets, but I have to say that interview was LAME. Yes, Jake is young and handsome and fit. He can act too. Does that say anything about this film? I don't think so. Are they planning on selling it as a Jake Gyllenhaal vehicle? Can Jake carry that off?
