On being asked what Jake Gyllenhaal brings to the role of Dastan, Jerry Bruckheimer says: 'He's very handsome and he's in fantastic shape. He's gotten in great shape for this movie and he's a brilliant actor and that's what it's all about. You know, he's young and he's talented and that's what we rely on: his talent.'
Jake: 'It's so enormous that when you walk around set and you see literally thousands of people who have put their time and energy into making a film like this, it's amazing.'
Many thanks to /Film for the heads up.

WOW
You know, he's young and he's talented and that's what we rely on: his talent.'Agree!!
Much better than I thought. And it's much better watching a video with excerpts from the film!
Jake is so great as Prince!
Wow for sure, Monica! It looks great! And I so agree about the talent - one year and counting...
Jake is so hot in this video ... THUD
Hi WDW! Nice to see you again too. :)
Ohhhhhhh my . . . what a treat. Jake looks . . . so imposing, love it. He looks amazingly fit and powerful . . . it's in the eyes too, not just the body. And the scene with the Prince and Tamina on the horse is so romantic looking. Sigh. I love the fight training scenes too - this is starting to look great. :)
I can't wait until Jake has to do some press. Be nice to hear what he has to say about doing this role

Hope you didn't hit the ground too hard, Monica, you have to get back up and look at Jake again! He's amazing here :P
Bertie! It is so good to see you *) That's my favourite bit too, on the horse with Gemma, but all the action - so much action. It's such a physical role for Jake and he looks tremendously fit and alive. The behind the scenes stuff bodes well for DVD extras too - we are in for a treat!! Keep the films coming, Jake! Sigh...
I'm going to have PoP dreams tonight :)
Hi Sweetpea - posting at the same time :) I think we'll get a lot of press and a big run up. It'll be very exciting. It's been too long since we've enjoyed all this :D
It's AMAZING!! (Sorry, couldn't resist)! What a nice surprise (I'm thinking of it as a little Mother's Day gift to myself - LOL)!
Oh what wonderful behind the scenes scenes! Unfortunately being the "never enough" person that I am after watching this video clip (8 times so far) I am now thinking about all the footage that exists out there that we are NOT seeing. I look forward to more, more, more to come from PoP over the coming months, year, years...Whoowhee!!
Thank you for this nice surprise WDW...always on top of things for us...have I said THANK YOU lately?! If not...then THANK YOU!!
xoxo
Oh I just love this!!Thank You to all who made it possible. I am swooning, Jake is so hot in that blue shirt, practicing his sword skills. How exciting this movie will be. And Happy Mothers Day to all the Moms.
I really like the epic feel to PoP too - so looking forward to it. I hope we get more previews. Thanks, WDW! :)
Oh wow! Jake looks absolutely amazing in the scene on the horse with the princess! I can`t stop looking at the screencap you made of that scene...something about it takes my breath away...
It`s so good to hear Jake`s voice. I can`t wait for the POP promotion to start! *sigh* This is going to be a long year.
Olympia
OMG, Jake looks amazing and so does the movie...wow!!!!
Morning everyone! I've been watching this again this morning with the gals in the office and, well, it's got quite a reaction! Sigh..
Morning BBMISwear - I hope you had a good Mum's Day - quite a gift jake got for you here :D I love all the colours and the crowds and the sets - can't wait to see more and I hope we get all this other footage. There should be quite a bit on TV before May. Thank you!
Hi there Gail - love the sword fighting - Jake looks really good at it!
Hi Bertie! I love the epic feel too :D
Morning Olympia :) I just love that pic on the horse - such beautiful faces. It is good to hear Jake speaking again. It'll be a long year but it'll have treats in it :D
Wow indeed, Get Real! It looks GREAT!
I have to find some coffee - have a wonderful day everyone. It's Monday but it has this in it :D
Oooooooh, just what my poor heart needed. He looks BEAUTIFUL in some of the shots! And finally some hair blowing in the wind - not stiff as in the pics we have seen before!!!!
Looking forward to watching the video tonight!!!
Have a great day everyone!!!
Hey there Uli! Good to see you :) Jake really does look so beautiful. You'll enjoy the video - lots of freeflowing hair :D Have a good day!
ARGH... no youtube in the office!
The Prince looks gorgeous... although certain angles remind me of what Ang Lee said about filming Jake... he can look so different in different angle - must be a challenge for cinematographers! But that pic on horseback with the princess at the back? omg... that's beyond this world beauty...
Jerry B seems impressed with Jake, that's a good thing :)
hi WDW, I've caught up with the posts now and they are all brill but wow this video is the best! I can't wait. I absolutely love that first still pic of him, looking up through his eyelashes..and the horse bit.
The 'Spake' post was wonderful too, I can't wait to see Star Trek. Been a trekker since I was 17! And Zachary Quinto gives Jake a run for the money in my crush-land, though not really cos...Dastan is HOT! TD
Wow...I have no words and not enough time to find them but, geez..he is unbelievable.
But somehow I knew he would be great because he is not only one of the most beautiful man in the whole world but he is one hell of an actor too.
And look at the vigorous fight he can deal with, this Prince is a real warrior and I bet Jake is as well.
Thanks for this stunning treat, WDW and everyone who everyday keeps an eye on our Jake. Thank you so much. :)
Have a great day. Finnally Springtime has found its way to Italy. :)
Ooh Winterbird, you mean you haven't seen it yet?! You're in for a treat. Jake does have such an interesting face, but in that pic on horseback Jake is simply stunning. That is a good thing about Jerry :D
Hi there TD! Good to see you again :) That first image of Jake, right at the start - OMG, I saw that and my heart melted. Spock is hot but Dastan is HOT!!!
Hey Xenia - posting at the same time! It all looks so physical - grteat to see that fighting scene included, and that clip of Jake and Gemma jumping off that wall etc. Exhilerating just for this brief clip - how are we going to cope with 2 hours of this?! I'm glad to hear Spring has arrived in Italy :D
Thanks WDW.
You made my day so good. :)))
To tell truth i never seen hottest actor young generation for long time except Heath.. Of course ;)
Glad to hear it made your day, Flower :D There is just noone quite like Jake :)
I agree, Zachary Quinto is very handsome; - it's not hard to imagine him as the young Spock - the resemblance is uncanny. I like Chris Pine too, from what I've seen in the previews. Can't wait to see Star Trek.
But Jake is gonna be so great as Dastan - I'm really impressed by what I've seen. That scene with Dastan and Tamina on horseback from the back is very romantic. I love all the fight scenes and that Dastan will be a warrior too, and the street urchin adopted by the King. He looks magnificent - handsome yes, but more than that - strong and powerful - like a warrior from ancient times. Gemma looks really convincing as well. Can't wait to see more! :)
Hi Bertie :D The similarity really is uncanny, including the voice, I thought.
One of the scenes in this video that really stuck in my mind was the image of the priest standing alone on the cliff - which is quite an iconic image from the game. I can't wait to see more of Jake set in this stunning landscape. He really does look like a warrior. I can't wait - the more I see of this, the more I want :)
the priest standing alone on the cliff???:P
the prince can't be a priest... he needs to ride horse, wave sword and be with his princess :P
Oh wonderful clip, thanks, WDW!
Needless to say, he looks so gorgeous and assured. I can't stop watching it.
And lovely behind the scenes shots with him in "civilian" clothes training for the fight scenes...
Hugs
Paola
OMG, Winterbird! I called him a priest?! I've definitely had too much sun this weekend! I think it must because I was subconsciously thinking of his costume flapping in the breeze as the PRINCE stands on the cliff!
Hey Paola! I've been watching it over and over too - just looking at all the expressions on Jake's face. Good to see the behind the scenes bit too :D
hey this may sound kind of random but does anyone think that Jake got stretch marks on his shoulders from gaining all of that muscle? i think this movie is going to kick ass and Jake is going to have a accent.
