You can click on the scans below to read the interview, or look at yesterday's post. Among the goodies is this sentence to be treasured about Prince of Persia: '"Working on a movie like Prince of Persia was awesome," he beams. "It was great fun to be an action hero and to jump around, running off walls and fighting and having great quippy lines. And wearing only half of your clothes, of course!"'
Blue Jake
If you watch the interview below with director James Cameron you'll learn that Jake Gyllenhaal (and Matt Damon) were star names bandied around by the studio as possible candidates for the lead role in Avatar.
While that would have been extremely handy for Jake - the main character is called Jake (and is a jarhead, no less) - it possibly worked out for the best that Cameron focused on his first choice of Sam Worthington. Surely it's better to fit an actor to a film and role rather than pick someone because they'll do big interviews. Also, I'm not sure how I would like to watch CGId Jake, complete with tail, wiggly ears and electrically charged ponytail. Not to mention blue. I think I prefer Prince Dastan with his blue eyes, quippy lines and missing clothing.
