Oh My God I Want a Lego Prince of Persia Game Right Now
Jerry Bruckheimer’s Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time movie comes out today. If you don’t want to drive to a theater, pay $10 for a ticket, or spend two and a half hours, you could do a lot worse than just watching the above video. It’s a two-minute summary of PoP starring Lego, and narrated by Jake Gyllenhaal in his preposterous Persian/British accent, and what is lacks in Gyllenhaal’s spectacular abs it makes up for in Lego adorableness. Seriously. If Lego doesn’t make a Prince of Persia game, they hate joy. there’s no other explanation. (Via ToyNewsI)
