PoP poster to be revealed in February's Confessions of a Shopaholic

If you want to be among the first to see the official poster for Prince of Persia then you have to head to the theatres in February to see Disney's Confessions of a Shopaholic. Jerry Bruckheimer is introducing some subliminal advertising into this film by showing the poster 'as a Times Square advertisement about halfway into the film. It joins posters for a number of other Bruckheimer productions, including the upcoming “G-Force”, though “Persia” is unique in that it marks the first time the films’ artwork has been seen anywhere. Prominently featured on the poster is lead actor Jake Gyllenhaal in full-costume as Prince Dastan.'


What this does tell us is that we are assured of a trail of PoP teasers right through until May 2010. With any luck, most of these will feature 'lead actor Jake Gyllenhaal in full-costume as Prince Dastan.' Mind you, we may have to sit through 16 months' of Disney movies to see them all. But at least this film is about shopping...

"Without A Trace" the award winning detective show produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, will debut PoP poster #3 in an episode titled "Whimpering Below NY In Zero Degrees" when the team is looking for a scorpion trainer wanted on celebrity stalking charges is found half-dead, naked and starving in a hidden underground tunnel, kept alive only by rolling himself up into a Prince of Persia poster with Jake Gyllenhaal's printed body keeping him warm.

Pics of Jake have kept us all warm, indeed. I don't have anything of substance to add to today's update, but when I saw the word google offered me, I couldn't resist posting: subcooti!

Never mind. Maybe I do have something to add. Have a look at this little article I found at SciFi Wire.

It sounds like Bruckheimer is quite pleased with what they got out of Jake.

Morning everyone!

Hi there Guerrilla Marketing and TV Guide! You had me laughing into my porridge this morning. That's hysterical - I like the idea of Jake Gyllenhaal poster used as a blanket :D

Morning Monica!

Hey JoeAnn! Thanks so much for the link this morning - I've put a new post up as that is well worthy of a new post :D

Morning Anon :) I hope it's a huge success too and I love that we're going to get a lot of publicity for this one.

Have a good day everyone!
