Prince of Persia Movie Not based on the videogame story

Don't let the fact that the upcoming Prince of Persia movie is based on the Prince of Persia games fool you--it's not really a videogame movie, or so says director Mike Newell, anyway.


Newell describes his project thusly:

It's not a videogame movie. It's a great story. If you had read the script, you would know that it wasn't a videogame. It's very exciting and it's immensely romantic and it's like Lost Horizon. It takes you to somewhere you've never been.
