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.
