Prince of Persia Sands of Time Movie: No Sand Monsters

Jerry Bruckheimer and writer/creator Jordan Mechner have been talking about the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, and they've dropped something of a disappointment on us:

Mechner says, "There are no sand monsters in the movie. For the game, turning everybody in the world except for the two main characters into sand monsters was really useful because it created an inexhaustible supply of enemies for you as a player to fight.

"But that's a story that's meant to be played with a controller in your hand. And a movie is an experience that's sort of a ride to go on shared by an audience, so we didn't want to make the movie about fighting monsters."

Apparently though, it's going to be an epic with Bruckheimer making a big comparison: "It's like a Lawrence of Arabia with this kind of supernatural element added to it."
