With comic books nearly plucked dry studios are looking elsewhere for stories to turn to film. It’s no surprise that they took a chance on the Prince of Persia video game series. The stories, usually, have been exceptionally good, and there’s been a tonne of action in the games. Mix that with mega producer Jerry Bruckheimer, some Jack Gyllenhaal, and a little Gemma Arton and you get Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. Now headed to Blu-ray and DVD in September.
When Dastan comes home on the 14th you’ll get a Dolby Digital 5.1 track with the DVD and the Blu-ray will feature a 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio track. As for bonus features, it seems a little light, but the CineExplore seems very interesting.

In the spirit of the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer Films transport you to the mystical lands of Persia for this wildly entertaining, epic action-adventure.
