International Prince of Persia Trailer
Yesterday, the domestic trailer for “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time” was released and now we have another one. This one is an international and shows more footage from the film.
In the Jerry Bruckheimer-produced video game adaptation, a rogue prince (Gyllenhaal) reluctantly joins forces with a mysterious princess (Arterton) and together, they race against dark forces to safeguard an ancient dagger capable of releasing the Sands of Time—a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world.
Directed by Mike Newell (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire), the fantasy-action-adventure stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Ben Kingsley, Gemma Arterton, Alfred Molina and Toby Kebbell.
Bad Boys 3 in the Works
Columbia Pictures is currently working on “Bad Boys 3.” Peter Craig is already working on a screenplay and third installment in the “Bad Boys” franchise will be Craig’s first major Hollywood screenplay.
According to THR, the studio is hoping that director Michael Bay, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and stars Will Smith and Martin Lawrence will all return for the third film.
None of the four has signed a deal, but all parties have uttered their willingness to return if the people behind the project can come up with a story. However, with the popularity of Smith, Lawrence, Bay and Bruckheimer, it could be costly to get everyone on board.

Yesterday we got out posters of Jake Gyllenhaal (Prince Dastan) and Gemma Arterton (Tamina) in the upcoming Disney production of “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.” Now have the first shot of Ben Kingsley as the villain, Nizam.

Pirates 4 Priority Over Lone Ranger
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer revealed that the studio is eager to make “Pirates Of The Caribbean 4” with Johnny Depp before he stars as Tonto in a new “Lone Ranger” movie.
He has said that a new “Pirates Of The Caribbean” movie is a “priority” for Disney!
Bruckheimer said that the original writers, Terry Rossio and Ted Elliot, were “writing ‘Pirates’ as we speak,” and he said it was “funny” and a “whole new way of going” although he wouldn’t share more than that.
“It’s a great franchise for them and for us, too,” Bruckheimer said,
“We love the character and Johnny was really excited about coming back to Captain Jack. He certainly is interested in Tonto, but Disney’s priority is to get Pirates made first. You never know what’s going to happen, but they would like it.”
Earlier, we wrote that Gore Verbinski informed Disney that he will not be the direcor of the fourth installment of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise. Instead, Verbinski wanted to make a live-action adaptation of the bestselling video game “BioShock.”
But Verbinski recently announced that he may not direct a movie based on the video game. In an interview, ComingSoon.net asked Bruckheimer if there was a chance he might return for a fourth movie – “You never know. He created the franchise so we’d love to have him back, but it’s kind of up to him,” the producer said.

Tapped for the G-Force are guinea pigs Darwin (voice of Sam Rockwell), the squad leader determined to succeed at all costs; Blaster (voice of Tracy Morgan), an outrageous weapons expert with tons of attitude and a love for all things extreme; and Juarez (voice of Penelope Cruz), a sexy martial arts pro; plus the literal fly-on-the-wall reconnaissance expert, Mooch, and a star-nosed mole, Speckles (voice of Nicolas Cage), the computer and information specialist.
Directed by two-time Oscar-winning visual effects master Hoyt Yeatman-”G-Force” takes audiences on a high-octane thrill ride, proving once and for all that size really doesn’t matter.

Pirates of the Carribean 4 Without Director
Keira Knightley said she had “completely fantastic experience” with Pirates but “it’s time to do different things.” Now “Pirates of the Caribbean” director Gore Verbinski tells the same.
“I had a fantastic time bringing Pirates to life, and I am eternally grateful to Jerry, Johnny and the rest of the creative and production team. I’m looking forward to all of us crossing paths again in the future.”
Verbinski has informed Disney and producer Jerry Bruckheimer that he will not be directing the fourth installment of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise. Instead, Verbinski will be moving onto the live-action adaptation of the bestselling video game “BioShock” that has a John Logan script. The movie is expected to begin production in 2010.
The “Pirates of the Caribbean” sequel is in development but not yet greenlit. Nobody knows how Verbinski’s decision will affect the movies’ schedule.
Verbinski is still working with Johnny Depp, though. He has been directing “Rango,” a CG-animated film for Paramount Pictures, with Depp voicing the title character.
