Oh, he can. It's called human cloning. Gyllenhaal is gaining more tentative respect from me though it might just be lip service. Who knows.Woodsey said:
Jake Gyllenhaal to Game Executives: Call Me
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
Ass kissing so gamers will go see the movie?
Genuinely interested in working in the video game industry?
Apathy is preventing me from picking one.

Gyllenhallingass seems pretty genuine, you rarely see "Totally" in something a TV executive wanted scripted into the PR unless they're having a child say it, or its ironic.
Still, the movie is going to be bad. I saw the trailer before Iron Man 2, and they NAMED him! He had a name, jerks! Prince! Now he's Dustin or Destin or whatever. He's the hero formerly known as Prince!

I'm not sure if I trust his words... but at least he didn't say he's hardcore[footnote]For the record: I don't believe in the hardcore or casual, just levels of enthusiasm.[/footnote] because he hums the Super Mario theme song in the shower.
Nice, Jake! I can understand him. If someone offered me to voice a character in a game, I'd be totally cool with it too!
Nah, I'm not bothered because he actually look a lot like the prince in my opinion. Besides, it's not like the Prince in the games wasn't clearly American.Yostbeef said:
I dunno, I'm starting to like him now. Either the role is getting him into gaming, or he's got a damn good PR agent feeding him all the right lines. I suppose we'll see where the true lines are drawn once the movie is out and the reviews are in.
If not, it won't be for lack of trying.Woodsey said:
Actually, I think it's just Funk that makes fun of his name. It's a bit weird seeing his actual name for a change though...Baron Khaine said:
I always liked Jake Gyllenhaal. If he wants to break into the gaming industry, then more power to him. His opinion on the whole art debate however, while nice, don't affect my opinion of him in the slightest.
*cough* Prince Dastan would be the correct name.Crunchy English said:
And I'll explain why. I come from a persian falimy yadda yadda and so forth. The word "Dastan" litterally means "history" or "adventure" in persian, so there's your name for ya'.
I'll tolerate that name as long as it stays in that movie. I don't want it to spill all over the franchise now...
Good for you, Jake! Also smart, as games are worth more as an industry than movies since the past few years.
Hopefully this movie doesn't turn out like every other video game adaptation I've seen. Where the best ones are decidedly average.
I am optimistic that it will capture the feel of the games (as the script writer is the game creator) so the question now is: will it be a good film?
