Take a good look at the Prince of Persia!

I do apologise for the drool all over the place at the moment - this is, I'm afraid, all Jake Gyllenhaal's fault. And the reason...



Click and the Prince will be embiggened. Many thanks to Monica for the heads up and many thanks to IHJ for the pics!

  1. OMG! Thanks Monica! This more than makes up for losing two hours of my life watching the Young Victoria this afternoon... Clearly these are professsional publicity shots - just imagine the posters etc!

  2. Posters?!! I didn't think of that. I just kind of melted.

    My house has walls, I can find room for posters. :D

  4. Wet dark, you believe that I am still without words??

    I need to see Dastan/Jake in action!

  5. I have no words... Still not crazy about the hair but the rest..! *tries not to drool on her office keybord, wouldn't know how to explain the damages to her boss* Is that a scar on the right side of his chest? Oh! and on his right arm too? Poor baby! I volunteer to kiss it and make it all better.:)

    Holy smokes he's hot! And he doesn't look as beefed up as in the other pictures we saw (wich is much more to my taste). Are they gonna tease us like this till 2010???!!! That's just cruel!

    Thank you WDW and Monica!

  6. Hi there! I just replaced the pics with IHJ's much more beautiful pics (ie, no tag across the chest - ahem).

    I can imagine your house, Rubes, adorned with the prince. I need more walls...

    I don't blame you, Monica! These are lovely!

    Hey Olympia :D I can see we're going to have to form an orderly line to tend to Jake's scars... Except for the hair, Jake looks absolutely gorgeous here - I love the expression in the eyes. Yep, we have 14 months of this!

    ReplyDelete
  7. Monica, I've just sent Lula a letter asking for medals of merit for you!

    If I kiss a frog, do I get one of those? Melted is the word of me right now.
    *sighs and passes out*

  8. Oh My My - WDW, could you hear the thud all the way across the pond when I fell out of my chair? Gorgeous, incredibly. Killah. The abs. The fire pic especially.

    ReplyDelete
  9. I swear to god I try not to be a perv....but my oh my, how not to notice that? what's that inside his...

    Okay. Nevermind. It's probably just socks.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Yes, I noticed. ;) The arms too, and the gorgeous face. And all the gold detail in the background - it's going to be a gorgeous, gorgeous film. I love the lamp pic, he's the djinn of our dreams. :)

    ReplyDelete
  11. I'm afraid I have combusted a little - these are stunning and Jake looks far more graceful etc - there is less bulk than the August pics, that's for sure.

    Hey Melted Monnie O! I.. ahem... noticed. Not socks :D

    Hi 16:45! I think there are a lot of thuds to be heard around Jakeland!! Just look at him!

    I totally agree 16:51 - the light is amazing, really sensuous... I wonder what else there'll be!!

    ReplyDelete
  12. I like that he's very graceful looking too - the loooooong torso, chest hair, I love the forearm armour, whatever it's called. He is very sensual looking. I love his hair - these pics are just amazing. Wait till you enbiggen them. If this is any preview . . .

    ReplyDelete
  13. Hum...WDW ? I predict there will be nothing orderly about that line! :D

    And is this really gonna be a PG-13 movie? Cause these pictures give me nothing but R rated toughts! I knew I would probably go see POP more than once but now I know I will HAVE to cause I'm sure I won't be paying any attention to the story the first time, I will just be drooling in my seat. How embarassing!

  14. Now, do I get three wishes . . . ;)

    Enough outta me, thanks for the pics and have a great weekend!

    ReplyDelete
  15. W... O... W...

    *AHEM* Sorry, what was I saying? Oh, yes.

    *drip, drip*

    ReplyDelete
  16. Ohhhhh . . . he's got scars . . . :( I think he's going to be a great character.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Hi 16:58! Very sensuous and graceful, with such a beautiful expression - I was expecting the first publicity stills to be all action etc, but this is very sexy indeed!

    I think we all will have quite an experience the first time we see PoP, Olympia!! I don't expect to remember a single thing afterwards. There should be children and adult showings!

    Have a good weekend, 16:59! I think you may be the same as other anons here - be great if you picked a name so we can chat properly :D

    Oh yes, BandGeek! Wow indeed :D

    Hey 17:04, I know, I want to tend to them...

    ReplyDelete
  18. echoing Olympia's comment: this film is gonna be PG - ahem. . . *cough cough* I don't think so . . .

    here we go . . . !

    ReplyDelete
  19. Hello,
    these pics are so fabulous! Great details, the light adds something mysterious.
    Fire.. scars.. and... socks :D Woof! I can't breathe ;)
    Thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Oh yes! Bump watch!!!

    I know, Pia, here we go... it's going to be some ride. I still think they should do two versions - PG and XXX - good to see you!

    Socks, Agnes! Chuckle :D The prince isn't going to need socks... The torch really adds something special - so sexy yet powerful. More sensitive than I was expecting... I like! My word is purety - hmmmm. I don't think so :)

    ReplyDelete
  21. OMG! I cannot stop looking at these pictures!

    *falls over and passes out*

    ReplyDelete
  22. Anyone got any smelling salts? We have a casualty over here.

    ReplyDelete
  23. OMG what is Jake doing to us... BBMISwear take it easy, deep breaths...

    Sorry, Rubes, I'm all out. I could do with more myself... (I'm doing a lot of 3 dot sentences again... all Jake's fault again - this is what happens when he wears no shirt)

    ReplyDelete
  24. New mantra:

    You must deep breath, then exhale like a sigh, saying the mantra out loud: "Oh socks!"

    ReplyDelete
  25. Only 14 months to go, Monnie O! We can do it with lots of yoga and sensible eating...

    ReplyDelete
  26. BLIMEY.

    *is scared to embiggen Prince*

    ReplyDelete
  27. OK I embiggened him.

    Great hair, eyes, skin, scars, and er - socks ...

    ReplyDelete
  28. aaaaaaaay.....

    OMG, I need to write word verification.... this is sooo hard after these pics.... ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  29. No amount of drool is going to keep me away. I love the fire scene picture. Candelabras, a book of verse beneath the bough, a loaf of bread, a jug of wine and thou, beside me singing in the wilderness.... This has classic written all over it. ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  30. Nouskie! Embiggen! Oh, you did... How I'd love the job of painting Jake's skin with scars each day, and then washing them off - sorry, I seem to have drifted off there :D

    You can do it, Ania! My word is trousno :P

    Hey Dailing, hope you're ok? *Fanning Dailing *

    Oh Paul, I love that image you paint - it's so exotic and sensuous with those colours, lights and tastes of the desert - all with Jake's Prince in the centre - what a feast for the senses. I think this could be a beautiful film and I will sigh and drool all the way through and my heart will sing!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Is it really my time to go now?
    Has my angel of death appeared in front of me?
    I shall be happy and die peacefully in the arms of this exotic angel.

    ReplyDelete
  32. No Dailing, you have to wait 14 months and then you could have 2 hours of this vision!!

    Do you like my new face? :D

    ReplyDelete
  33. I managed to write one of this words again 'cos I just found out that it's Peter Sarsgaard's birthday :) (I guess it's offtopic?)
    And now I'm staring at the Prince again ......

    ReplyDelete
  34. Yeay! Ania, thanks for that. I knew it was in March but I'd lost all track due to all the Jake hotness recently. Happy birthday Peter!!

    Which reminds me, Get Real, how did you get on?

    ReplyDelete
  35. my my, I see WDW has a new avatar. :D

    ReplyDelete
  36. WDW does! She's in love with Dastan :D I'm hoping it's mutual...

    ReplyDelete
  37. I keep coming back here tonight, "reading" your latest post over and over again. It seems I miss something every time, and need to come back again to see what it was... ;-D

    ReplyDelete
  38. I keep coming back to look at these pictures, Anna - the idea that next year we'll have a whole film of THIS! I swear it may do me in :P But I'm glad to see I'm not on my own :)

    ReplyDelete
  39. How many times did Kate post in comments something about washing Jake?
    Life is a huge bathtub...

    I don't know if PoP will be rated R, but I'm sure this blog should, sometimes. LOL!

    Love it!

    ReplyDelete
  40. I must have a thing about washing Jake, because my mind is so clean - * flutters eyelashes innocently * There comes a time in life when you can afford to be naughty :DD

    ReplyDelete
  41. Anna, it is amazing the nuances and hidden meanings that one can discover by close examination of the large amounts of exposed flesh.....oops, sorry I meant 'text' in this interesting post. :D

    ReplyDelete
  42. Hahahaha! Yes Ruby...all that text!

    WDW, poor teenagers...

    LOL! Have I mentioned how I love this place?

    ReplyDelete
  43. Mmm, Ruby, this is definitely one of those posts with lots of hidden nuances, glad to hear they're being picked up on :D

    Monnie O, I'm so glad you love the place - me too :*)

    ReplyDelete
  44. *speechless*

    Too much hotness flooding this blog... I just woke up from my nap, my heart can't take this!!!

    He looks less buff than the press pics we saw before, just all lean muscle and mmmm.... maybe he has waxed his chest a bit too? The hands on hips pic is gorgeous, the prince looks like he means business!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Winterbird! What a vision to awaken to... It's definitely all too much - powerful, slender, sexy, hot. I may need to take a nap myself! It is like a dream.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I love your new avatar, WDW :)

    ReplyDelete
  47. Thanks, Winterbird! Hot, isn't he?

    ReplyDelete
  48. OMG, I can't stop looking either - I think I may need to make an avatar - the second pic is my favorite, I love his arms in it, the armour, his hair, his torso, everything. He's gorgeous.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Hi Shy Anon :) They're amazing - I can't decide which of the two I like the most, I really can't. I keep moving between the two but I just love them both. That'd be great if you make it into an avatar. It makes the pages here so much prettier!

    I hope everyone's having a great evening - what an amazing day!

    ReplyDelete
  50. Wet dark, the new avatar is very hot!;)

    ReplyDelete
  51. Thanks Monica! Jake must definitely take the credit :D

    ReplyDelete
  52. AS A PERSIAN, I love him as Prince of Persia! He's a great casting choice.

  53. Ta da! Our posts look pretty now -

    OME! I can't imagine how I will survive an entire movie with Jake looking so HOT!!!

    ::drools all over the keyboard::

    Thanks Monica and WDW for giving us this heavenly vision.

    ::bows before your greatness::

    Have a Princely Sunday!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  62. OMG....WOW....THUD....OMG....HOTNESS!!!!

    Wow, these pics are amazing...damn!

    Ah, where was I, ah the play was really great. Maggie was radiant, Peter was scruffy and charming and the cast as a whole was excellent.

    It was a very small theatre, nice and intimate and casual. Really worth seeing.

    Now back to drooling....

    ReplyDelete
  63. It's late...I need to sleep so I had to come back here once more to take just another tiny look at all that menace to a girl's sanity.

    Since I'm melted and almost passing out, it's time to lay down.

    Have a great night, girls.
    Sweet dreams

    M.O.

  64. Good morning everyone,
    I can't stop looking at the pics ;) He has gorgeous lips.
    Have a nice Sunday!

  65. Morning all! How wonderful to wake up to my new Persian desktop :P and to all of you!

    First off, have to say Yeayyyy! for Cinema7 (Shy ANon) who's looking gorgeous this morning and definitely making the place look pretty. Looking good!

    Good to hear from you Foreveralways21 (a name I can empathise with there) :D

    Morning Monica :)

    Hi Zodiac, just keep doing those breathing exercises!

    Hey it's the Isle of Wight crowd! Hi Freetraveller and Uli - Uli you've done something to that keyboard again... Love to Andy and Sonja as well xx

    That was quite a thud, TDigs - hope you're ok now :D Just don't look at the pics, they're dangerous.

    Morning Sara! It is going to be a very challenging experience watching the whole film - we may have to work out some breathing exercises in advance and some strategies to get through it.

    Thanks for telling us about the play, Get Real - charming and scruffy will do me :D Glad you like the pics :DD

    Hope you got some rest, Monnie O :)

    Morning Agnes - beautiful lips :D

    Have a wonderful day everyone - I'm going to be walking around with a smile on my face. And the sun's out too.

    ReplyDelete
  66. What the heck are you trying to do to me???!!! WDW, this post should have come with a health warning. After being in bed all weekend and coming here to cheer myself up I find this vision of gorgeousness.

    Thank you, Thank you,Thank you,Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you ....... and thank you. Now off to read what it's about :DDDD

    ReplyDelete
  67. Sorry you've been unwell, Sheba :) I fear Jake may do little to lower your temperature!!

    ReplyDelete
  68. "*MELTED* (and I can speak for: Andy, Uli, Sonja & others on the Isle of Wight)"

    That was this weekend?? I'm gutted that I'm not there with you all and I wanted to show you my Jake painting. Probably for the best as I'm completely dosed up and given you all the flu. Hope you're all having a wonderful weekend with a wonderful host.

    WDW, you're right about that... I've got the shakes and I don't know if it's the illness or this post. He's Amaaaaaazing :DD

    ReplyDelete
  69. Good morning, wet dark!
    Today is our day girls!
    Happy Women's Day to all women Gyllenhaalics!!:):):)

    ReplyDelete
  70. Hi Sheba - I'm sorry you missed the gathering - I'm certainly hoping there'll be others in 2009. I hope you feel much better :D

    Hi Monica! Women's Day - like the sound of that - unfortunately, that's not celebrated round here - it'll still be me doing the washing up, sob :D

    I hope everyone's having a lovely Sunday!

    ReplyDelete
  71. Good Girl,
    I'm in troubles about all that Twilight thing too. It's addictive...I'm thinking about professional help in order to take that damn vampire off my veins (oops! PUN ALERT!)
    Thanks God they've made a poor lame film out of it, or I'd be already in hell!

    Oh my...I feel horrible.
