A rumor is spreading fast through the internet (we believe it originated at World Entertainment News Network, aka WENN) that Orlando Bloom has landed a $40 million payday to star in a movie trilogy based on the "Prince of Persian" video game. The rumor stated that he had beaten competition from Zac Efron to take the role and even said that Jerry Bruckheimer will direct.
Walt Disney Pictures, however, tells ComingSoon.net that there is no truth to these rumors.
What we do know so far is that Mike Newell (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) is expected to start shooting Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time soon at Pinewood Studios in the UK and in Morocco as well. Jerry Bruckheimer instead is producing the film, which the studio is targeting for a June 19, 2009 release.
据美国娱乐媒体昨日报道,改编自同名电子游戏的魔幻三部曲《波斯王子》已经定下男主角——31岁的奥兰多·布鲁姆将以总计4000万美元的片酬出演该系列影片。同样备受瞩目的导演人选也已出炉——执导过《忠奸人》与《哈利·波特与火焰杯》的迈克·纽维尔将为《波斯王子》首部曲《波斯王子:时之砂》(Prince of Persia:The Sands of Time)执导筒。
