'Enemy of the State' gets a timely TV series sequel
Jerry Bruckheimer has announced that he's developing a TV sequel to his 1998 hit movie Enemy of the State. The series will be filmed with a view to airing on ABC and will be set 20 years after the original that starred Will Smith and Gene Hackman. Of course, back then, the notion of ubiquitous government surveillance that could examine every part of our lives seemed totally far-fetched. The film itself concerned a reckless NSA official who planned to erode traditional notions of privacy in modern day America. Yeah, about that.
Behold: concept art for the Prince of Persia movie
ComingSoon has posted new images and concept art for several upcoming Disney films, almost all of which are likely to be adapted into stunningly derivative and altogether depressing video games. One of the movies, however, signifies the reverse situation of having been a game first -- a very good one, in fact. The cinematic adaptation of Ubisoft's acrobatically inclined Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, will be produced by Jerry "Needs More Splosions" Bruckheimer. Check out some of the early concept images of the film while you agonize over the many ways in which Jerry can bring the franchise to ruin. Vin Diesel as the Prince? Explosive carriage chases? A soundtrack featuring Usher? A dark and angsty MySpace reimagining that has the protagonist fighting scantily clad warrior women? Wait, that last one sounds familiar somehow...%Gallery-1859%[Image credit: ComingSoon]
Prince of Persia could be Disney's next 'Pirates' film franchise
Murmurs of a Jerry Bruckheimer produced Prince of Persia film have resurfaced, buzzing about Bruckheimer and Disney working to mold Ubisoft's game franchise into a successor to the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy; set to conclude in May. One source even speculates that the Prince could hit the big screen as early as summer 2008.When Bruckheimer and company first seized the Prince of Persia film rights in 2004, the goal was to adapt elements of the game world, rather than directly translate 2003's The Sands of Time. It's unclear if that direction has since changed, as the game series has evolved into a port-able trilogy.
