This is... disappointing Not to mention he was competing against... Zac Efron?? What the hell is Hollywood' s idea of how a Persian looks like???

What? Personally I didn' t hate him in Pirates and I think he' ll be able to pull off the witty, light-hearted sounding Prince form the Sands Of Time. Of all the videogame films out there this has the most potential to actually be good and successful.

He doesn' t exactly look Persian though. Or badass either like the Prince. And there are certainly better actors than him out there to play the Prince. Orlando has always bordered between the mediocre and ok spectre of acting. The only time he was actually good was in Elizabethtown.

Orlando Bloom to Star in Disney' s " Prince of Persia" Trilogy


Contradictory statements.

Disney massacres every good franchise they take under their wing. The first Pirates of the Caribbean was good, and while the others were satisfactory, you' d be hard pressed to find somebody who thought they went in anything but a downhill slope. I enjoyed the original Santa Clause, and they' ve been juicing that for every cent they can get. They butchered The Chronicles of Narnia, and I subsequently can' t look forward to the sequel, for fear of a letdown.

Heck, even the ever-awesome National Treasure was watered down for the second rendition. If I' m correct, Disney also has the rights to the Artemis Fowl series of books, which I very much enjoyed, and there' s no way they' d do them justice. I want to see a seven foot tall Irish bodyguard blow a troll' s brains out with a Sig Sauer dammit!

I will be more than pleasantly surprised if this is anything but a polished turd.

Well, Paris is supposed to be a girly man, so he did the look justice

Ironicly a persian prince gone actor was up for the role, he looked the part a lot. But i guess he didnt hacve the name.

But hey atleast its not Zac Efron, i couldnt stand looking at that boy.

I wouldn' t be surprised if Iran (formerly Persia) called a jihad on Disney over this.

Come on, Pirates wasn’t bad at all. I enjoyed all three of them and all three were successful. If Prince of Persia can emulate any of Pirates success it’ll be the biggest Videogame film of all time.

Did any of you see Orlando Bloom' s portrayal of himself in Ricky Gervais' s " Extras" ? That was the first thing that came to mind upon seeing this thread title.

The Pirates films were good because Keira Knightley is one fine bitch. That and it had Edward Scissorhands in it.

So... maybe that' s just me.

I enjoyed the first two PotC movies, but I didn' t have a ***ing clue what was going on in the third one at all. Eventually I stopped caring and just started staring blankly at the screen.

Hmm. I do not agree with Orlando bloom for this part AT ALL.. But guess it' s better than Zac efron, and he might be able to deliver a great acting after all. So guess we' ll have to see how it turns out.

Funny, he could make an okay prince, however, he was already playing the character William Turner in the DISNEYS Pirates of the Caribbean films. So why have him play another disney character, even if his character in pirates is " dead" .
just a taught
You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

Apparently it' s being directed by Mike Newell (Harry Potter 4, really not the best film ever).

At least is not Michael Bay. Though I always wondered how the Prince would look like dodging gun fire and explosions from the sand dudes
