Discuss: Does Jake Gyllenhaal Shirtless Cause Excitment?

Above you will see a photo of Jake Gyllenhaal shirtless and in costume in the upcoming Jerry Bruckheimer produced film Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. And according to the blogosphere and a slow-news Monday, this is about the most exciting thing happening on the web today. The photos were posted over the weekend by The Huffington Post and have since caused a bit of buzz from our friends and neighbors. And while it doesn’t do much for us — especially since it does not involve any action shots, set pieces or shirtless ladies — we are curious to gather your opinions.

In fact, it brings to light an even broader concern of mine: is anyone really, really excited about the Prince of Persia movie in general? From where I sit, this film is too far off — with a May 2010 release date — to be anything of interest. That, and I was never really into the video game, so at this point I am neither excited or offended, as many of you may be. Please leave your own well-formed opinions in the comment area below.

  • Yeah, I'm not too sure about this one yet, could be horrible or a decent entertaining flick. We shall wait and see.
  • He looks incredibly silly in these pictures. It's hard to explain but he seems so...clean.
  • I'm just angry they casted a white guy to play the Prince of Persia. They couldn't have picked a tanned, dark skinned actor? Come the fuck on!
  • kyanna
    acturally Jake Gyllenhaal isn't white he's Jewish and Swedish! get it straight.
  • These photos are so funny. Major FAIL. I don't see Jake Gyllenhaal as an action star at all, let alone a Persian!! We may all have a pretty good laugh come 2010.

    I have never played the game and I can barely watch Gyllenhaal on the screen. He was okay in Zodiac and good in Donnie Darko. Other than that, I can't watch this emo guy anymore.
  • Patrick Ramser
    So you've seen Brokeback, Proof, and Jarhead? He was fantastic in all three of those, regardless of what you think of the material that he interpreted. October Sky was also great and while I can see you hating a guy for making The Day After Tomorrow and Bubble Boy, let me just say... "Johnny Depp".

    Christ, have you seen Dead Man or A Nightmare on Elm Street? You should direct your hatred to him instead if a man's career is gauged only by a few projects.
  • Oh please, you gotta admit that shirtless photo of Jake makes you drool in a summer heat.
  • Chris
    Wow. Was Brendan Frasier busy or something?
  • now that's my kind of humor.
