Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire director Mike Newell has been asked to
helm Prince of Persia, a computer game inspired flick.
And making the request is none other than Jerry Bruckheimer.
The movie adaptation of the video game has long been a pet project of
Bruckheimer.
The producer is hoping that the first pic, Prince of Persia: The Sands of
Time, will spawn off a series, reports Variety.
The video game was extremely popular and led to six instalments and several
spin-offs.
The script for the movie has been penned by Jeffrey Nachmanoff and video game
creator Jordan Mechner. (ANI)
