Jordan Mechner the real creator of Prince of Persia who also wrote the script of the film is talking about the trailer of Prince of Persia the movie:
An early version of the script of Prince of Persia The Sands of Time may have leaked online via IMDb. So have a look, but keep in mind that its authenticity has not been proved.

The script, dating back to 2006, has been written by Jordan Mechner, with revisions by Jeffrey Nachmanoff. So it would be an early version of the screenplay of Prince of Persia.
Because of the mention of Jerry Bruckheimer Films on the first page and the overall well written text I'm incline to think it is a legit script of Prince Persia The Sands of Time (but an early version, the final shoould not be that much different though).
After flipping through the pages I have the impression that the movie will be close to the spirit of the original video game. What do you think?
;-)
Jordan Mechner must be happy: he has been given the opportunity to adapt the famous franchise he contributed to create, Prince of Persia, to the cinema.
