Mike Newell Directing 'Prince of Persia'
Wasn't Michael Bay supposed to direct this?
Variety is reporting that Mike Newell has been offered the director's chair on the feature film adaptation of the popular videogame "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" for producer Jerry Bruckheimer and Disney.
Newell recently directed Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and recently directed the soon-to-be-Oscar contender Love in the Time of Cholera.
Prince of Persia will bring Newell back to the world of fantasy. The videogame is 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.
Jeffrey Nachmanoff penned the script. Back in April Michael Bay was rumored to be attached to the film, but the Variety article doesn't even mention his name.
