Release Date: May 28, 2010

Hollywood must have circulated a memo that 2010 was to be the banner year for mythical tentpole epics; not only do we get Clash of the Titans, here comes the big screen version of the fantasy video game Prince of Persia, with Jake Gyllenhaal charged with a mission from the gods to get buff, talk in a British accent and make audiences swoon as Dastan, the prince who must recover the Dagger of Time before a giant sandstorm consumes the Earth.

Could this be the first video game franchise to make a truly successful film? If anyone knows how to do it it?s producer Jerry Bruckheimer, who turned a Disney theme park ride into the Pirates of the Caribbean phenomena and looks to be aiming for the same kind of swash and buckle here ? complete with a leading man better-known for arty turns, abundant feats of derring-do and a romance pitched to bring in the female crowds.

But which romancer of Gemma Arterton will win moviegoers? hearts -- Jake or Sam Worthington? If the former?s pumped pecs and shirtless swagger are any indication, 2010 may have an unlikely new beefcake action hero.
