remember the Mario bros movie when they gave the brothers "Mario Mario" and "Luigi Mario", this is like that, b/c the movie is gonna suck, and no one will ever use the name.

I think a movie(if it is from the movie, I can't watch vids here at school) where everyone was calling him prince would be kinda annoying, however I don't like the name but any name they made up for him would be kinda stupid because the memories I have of the game he didn't have a name, it's a lose lose situation for the writer.

Except they don't, at all xD

He said that so that Farah would believe (or at least begin to believe) his story.

Does anyone else think it's weird that, after almost 20 years, they took it upon themselves to choose his name? Does anyone think it should be canon?
It should be fired out of a cannon if thats what you mean.
Very nice. made me chuckle.

Movie looks... meh. Farah was hotter in the game.

This. The main appeal of the Prince was his lack of a name, Prince the Enigma

Enough about the name, did anyone see in the video that the Dagger of Time has A F****** BUTTON?
WHAT. THE. F***?

I don't usually have a rage attack but the Dagger of Time does NOT have a button.
Granted, I don't know how he activates it in the games other then with a button on the controller or keyboard, but still...

Good luck pronouncing and spelling it.

Did you play Sands of time???

The first time the Prince uses the dagger, he hits a switch on the hilt.

So it DOES have a button. Learn the cannon.

In the games it has a switch on the handle, so a button is hardly far fetched.

Remember that silly line in Warrior Within where Kaileena asks 'Who are you?' and the Prince replies 'I'm the Prince of Persia!' that just sounds absolutely moronic?

Yeah, they were probably trying to avoid that.

...Oh.
Well...
I'm sorry for that rage attack then.
And yes I have played Sands of Time. Warrior Within and The Two Thrones too.
But what about that orange...thing going up his arm after he pushes the button?
Is that supposed to be the Dark Prince coming forth?

You can't do things in a movie that you can in a game and vise versa. People tend to need names in a movie. Dastan is as good a name as any. I got to agree that they should've had someone who was, ya know, persian play the prince. Or at least 'generic brown'.

Still, it looks like a fun adventure movie. Like the Pirates series.

like the army squad in stormbreaker: No Names!

i think he should just be known as prince, or better yet... he shouldnt be adressed by his name but instead be simply spoken to directly, its also a video game movie, which has a high chance of making it suck.

on another note, the fighting in the recent PoP game sucked, they must bring out a new game that brings back the original fighting system (with innovative ideas), and make it as gory as warrior within.

I'd like to have seen Jordan Mechner say something about the name, then I'll probably feel OK with it if he is.
