The classic jumping of the ledge, grabbing on and pulling himself up might make it into the film(those who were born yesterday might not be able to relate). So to be more relevant with this generation, the movie incorporates Parkour.
The movie is mostly based on the 2003 Sands of Time game, though it is not a literal retelling of the game. It just gets the coolest elements from the game and reconfigures it for a great story for the movie.
If you've played the game you might recognize some few things but you won't really be in the know how, because the movie is a different story. One of the things that might be missing on the movie are the sand monsters.
Here's a portion of the Q&A by comingsoon.net on other projects:
Q: You have "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" coming out this summer. How did you imagine a "Fantasia" short becoming a big summer blockbuster film?
Bruckheimer: We didn't, but somebody else did. Nic Cage and some other people decided it'd be kinda cool to do and came to us. We developed the screenplay with them and took this little moment in "Fantasia" and created an entire story.
Q: There's a worry about Johnny Depp's commitment to "Pirates 4." Are you going to be able to make him comfortable with the new people at Disney?
Bruckheimer: I think that he was very close with Dick [Cook]. We loved him and part of our success is attributed to Dick which is fantastic, but things change. We've been through a ton of management here at Disney and have had many bosses through the years that I've been here. Somehow you adjust and the gentleman they brought in is very smart. As an executive he's had an enormous amount of success. He's been a very good partner to us, but that doesn't mean we won't work with Dick somewhere else down the line. Who knows. We'll just have to see what happens.
Q: What's your take on making the "Lone Ranger" current for today's audience?
Bruckheimer: Elliot Rossi worked on that with a couple of other writers and Johnny [Depp] so they'll create something that has a kind of true to the western, but also other elements like we did with "Pirates" so it won't be just a straight ahead western.

All of these are intriguing projects, and to be honest I am looking forward to all of it. I'm really hoping that Prince of Persia is the one that bucks the trend of the strings of awful video game adaptation. Though from the looks of it, it does have a good chance.
I'm also rooting for a Lone Ranger movie. He really does need to ride again in the big screen, and it's high time for a return of good westerns in the cinema. Hopefully this movie will do to western what POTC did to pirate movies.
