A Look Underneath the Prince of Persian Rug
Disney released a three-minute behind-the-scenes mini-featurette on the live-action Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time movie. Inbetween the talking heads, there’s some new footage of the movie that looks pretty good, and a look at the massive city/set they built outside Marrakesh, which is huge and impressive and clearly cost several million dollars. You’ll forgive me if I can’t get too excited about this, since I just posted FFF. Also, I know what my post is next, and… well, let’s just sy the healing process isn’t going to be beginning any time soon.
