Prince of Persia No Longer on the 3D Bandwagon

Prince of Persia No Longer on the 3D Bandwagon

Due to an error of the teaser poster being displayed along the wall of Disney's 3D releases, the film was thought to be a 3D release...but the posting was simply an error.

Disney recently highlighted all of their soon-to-be released 3D theatrical line-up and somehow in the slew of films, the Mike Newell release "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time," was present. The idea placed many fans on opposite sides of the fence...some welcomed the idea of seeing Jake Gyllenhaal in 3D but many others felt disgusted by seeing yet again another film taking the route of 3D rendering.

A Disney rep put an end to the matter by announcing clearly the film will not be released in the 3D format and the poster was merely an error at the recent Disney D23 fan convention.

This comes as a relief to those opposing the 3D trend because the film wasn't shot in 3D and this means the 2D portion would be processed into 3D and this process is considered by many to water down the 3D effect, therefore making the transition pointless.


Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time will be released in theaters on May 28th, 2010.

I could never possibly take this movie seriously.

My wife and I strolled past this poster at the theater and we both busted out laughing at it

Im kind of looking forward to this as the first 3 games on PS2 were brilliant as was the most recent on PS3 but im really not bothered by the fact it wont be in 3D!

Whenever I see prince of Persia I seem to think of God of War and then I see Disney and I can't help but laugh. I got to admit that the Walt Disney Pictures next to Prince of Persia is rather weird.

I'm severely happy and overwhelmed with joy this film won't be introduced with 3D in any form.

I've seen pretty much every theatrical 3D film recently and God knows they're killing the 3D idea with each and every film. i don't mind animated films but when they added 3D to Final Destination, My Bloody Valentines...I almost threw up by the overwhelming amount of crappiness. There was so much crap on the screen...sigh

This is appearing to be the next "Pirates" franchise.

Looking forward to this.. Beowulf and Coraline are the best two films I've seen in 3D thus far.

As for the new 3D Trend.. There is always a 2D version out as well so it doesn't really matter does it?

LOL @teabag. I don't complain about 3D because as I've said, I've seen them all but the issue is Hollywood losing grasp of a good or even passable script by assuming the 3D technology will be suffice.

That's like saying, let's forget everything about what Batman stood for, a good script, throw in as many villains fans may enjoy on screen and add tons of crap not relevant to the comic book (Batman & Robin)
