In March 2008, director Mike Newell selected Morocco as a shooting location for Prince of Persia and also planned to film in Pinewood Studios. Production was scheduled to begin in mid-June 2008.[19]
By May 2008, actors Jake Gyllenhaal and Gemma Arterton were cast into
the lead roles.In March 2004, the production company Jerry Bruckheimer
Films sought to acquire feature film rights to the 2003 video game Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time with the film to be distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. Under John August as executive producer, the series' creator Jordan Mechner was hired to write the script. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer's Pirates of the Caribbean
film trilogy served as a touchstone in how a theme park ride was
converted into a film franchise. According to Mechner, "Rather than do a
straight beat-for-beat adaptation of the new videogame, we're taking
some cool elements from the game and using them to craft a new story."[4]
Mechner previously considered producing an animated film based on the
games, but could not resist Disney and Bruckheimer's offer.[5] In February 2006, Disney hired screenwriter Jeffrey Nachmanoff to write a new script for Prince of Persia.
