First off, we have The T-shirt. Twelve exclusive and closely guarded t-shirts will be unveiled for the discerning Comic-Con crowd. And the good news is 'The collection also includes classics from Mighty Mouse and a new design for the Spring 2010 Disney movie, "Prince of Persia".' Tempted as I am by a Mighty Mouse classic, I would need to have a PoP t-shirt for each day of the week. It's hard to imagine an occasion (or a pair of shoes) that a Jake Gyllenhaal t-shirt woudn't suit or match. The shirts will be available at the event but they will also be available, in limited numbers and at limited times, from Stylinonline. Keep watching...
And then we will have The Book. Jordan Mechner, the creative genius behind the Prince of Persia franchise, will be attending Comic-Con a week on Friday to discuss his new project, a second graphic PoP novel. However, as Jordan says on his blog, this book will not be about the game prince, 'the Disney book is firmly in the universe of the movie. It offered a chance to establish, and expand on, the characters’ world and back stories beyond what’s in the film.'
'The book is a prequel to the movie (I use the word “prequel” advisedly, for those who think time is like a river that flows swift and sure in one direction), with each chapter drawn by a different artist in a different style. It’ll be published next April as part of the Prince of Persia movie pre-launch.'
Jake and Reese didn't just attend a Hollywood Bowl concert last weekend, on the Friday they were seen at a much more low key event - a gig in Ojai to launch a CD, Granada Doaba, by Californian and Spanish hiphop band Gnawledge. They bought the CD and you can download the album here. Canyon Cody, a member of Gnawledge, took a picture of their famous guests that night.
And finally...
After yesterday's post, which included the new poster for An Education, I'm thrilled to see the trailer today. This film looks amazing - and at last I can hear Peter Sarsgaard's English accent again.
