If ever you needed an illustration of why the video game adaptation has garnered a reputation for being a poisoned chalice, look no further than Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.
The adaptation of the classic console favorite seemed like a slam dunk to translate into live-action given that it was designed, marketed, and sold as being Pirates of the Caribbean in the desert, which did translate into what would appear to be a decent run at the box office after Jake Gyllenhaal’s white-washed extravaganza hauled in a stellar $336 million globally.
