Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is currently being adapted for film. The initial script was written by Jordan Mechner with subsequent drafts by Jeffrey Nachmanoff. Thus far Jerry Bruckheimer has reportedly been attached to produce the film. When discussing the adaptation, Mechner said: "Rather than do a straight beat-for-beat adaptation of the new videogame, we're taking some cool elements from the game and using them to craft a new story - much as 'Pirates' [of the Caribbean] did with the theme park ride." — Jordan Mechner [1] Rumors of names for playing the role of the Prince ranged from John Abraham (Indian actor), Brendan Fraser and Barry Watson (from What About Brian), to David Zandi and Josh Somerhalder. According to a recent article in Australia's Hyper Magazine, Charlie Clausen is also being considered. But some fans say the singer Tarkan from Turkey (which was actually the Persian empire until the Turkey empire took over those lands) would be the best of all options due his physical similiriaty to The Prince. For the role of Farah, it was rumored early on that Bahar Soomekh was a top choice, but this has turned out to be, as of now, speculation and rumor. As of February 2007, there has been no definitive word from the producers on casting. Disney recently released production photos and the logo on comingsoon.net. http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=19143
