Alfred Molina and Ben Kingsley will join Jake Gyllenhaal in the film adaptation of the video game "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" according to Variety.

Molina will play Sheik Amar, who becomes a mentor to the prince (Gyllenhaal). Kingsley' (pictured)'s role is unclear at this point but is likely to be that of the villain Vizier.

I've done some digging on the Prince of Persia game since JG took the role last month--And since they are not really my thing-looking at the talent involved--This flick could be great fun. Not just your run of the mill vid game inspired feature.

Shooting, with Mike Newell in the big chair, begins next month in the U.K. and Morocco.
