Jake Gyllenhaal as Dastan in Prince of Persia
Lots of producers have tried to turn video games into movies, and the journey to making this a success in Hollywood was long, hard, and tumultuous. For a fact, it was much harder than comic books. For instance, take the decision to make Prince of Persia into a movie – one that sits as a high-budget Hollywood film. The first mistake they made was to add Jake Gyllenhall as the lead character. They tried to transform him into a Middle East prince with all the long hair and beard.

This was a terrible mistake, and it is time Hollywood producers stop scraping on the opportunity to have big names on their projects to increase profit. It always turns out to be a mess and has a bad history coming up the line. We might say the best bet Hollywood had in recent history was to use Tilda Swinton in a film, and still, it was no good, and the movie fell off big time.

The Dexter Morgan character was just about a sneaky one that tried to have a cover-up for all his secret actions and trying to elude the fact that he was a sociopath who truly knew his ways were wrong. It seems the movie, Dexter, was going great all along until the final episode where they decided to add Colin Hanks as the man for the top job. But, it was a low blow for a final episode of a good movie – he didn’t have what it took to carry the role with the strength we know it for.

Tom Hanks, Colin’s father, seemingly rubbed some of his softness on his son as his character was a little too “good” to be the face of a doomsday killer. This made the whole film receive the negative feedback it did for the season’s sendoff. To be an apocalyptic killer in a film, you need the face of someone who has done a great job in positions like those already. It would have a better effect on viewers.
