Mike Newell, the man behind the camera for the forthcoming Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time movie, isn’t terribly good at playing the videogame he was hired to adapt for the big screen.
“I was completely hopeless at it,” Newell admitted in an interview with /Film Tuesday. “I just about managed to get him to run along a wall before he fell off into some appalling scything machine and was chopped to bits.”
Luckily, being a good gamer isn’t the first priority when shooting a movie, even if the film is based on a videogame. Newell’s filmography includes more than a few competent films — like Four Weddings and a Funeral and Pushing Tin.
Besides, Newell told /Film that he buddied up with Prince of Persia creator Jordan Mechner (who contributed the screenplay’s first draft). “Jordy and I really hit it off and I adored him,” Newell said. “Because he was, like me, a kind of research freak and he knew stuff about sixth-century Persia that I found completely fascinating.”
Read the entire interview to learn more encouraging tidbits about Newell’s body of work, his appreciation of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time lead Jake Gyllenhaal and his movie’s approach to action set pieces.
