On ‘Persia’ Location With Jake: The Accent! The Coiffure! The Cleavage!

1:44AM Seth | Because there is no morning so terrible that it cannot be rendered less terrible with some one-on-one time with Jake Gyllenhaal in a cleavage-enhancing under-chemise, we bring you this ET footage from the set of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time—a Jerry Bruckheimerian extravaganza the superproducer says will be cinema’s greatest headdress-and-scimitar-heavy triumph since Lawrence of Arabia.

Now that shirtless photos have emerged of Gyllenhaal’s newly buffed-up body, we think that news will be greeted with the delayed, heart-rending cries of protest it deserves. Says Just Jared:

Jake Gyllenhaal and Flash Gordon Battle For Most Hauntingly Evil New Franchise

6:55AM Defamer Hollywood | The uninspired recycling of played-out mediocrity received a sleek bit of Hollywood upscaling over the last 24 hours, with no less than Jake Gyllenhaal, Christian Bale and the money gang at Sony Pictures climbing on the remake/franchise gravy train with some of the most appalling anti-ideas we’ve heard around these parts since that Donnie Darko sequel went fungal just before Cannes. After the jump, find out which of these warmed-over properties — Prince Of Persia? Flash Gordon? Highlander? Terminators 4, 5 & 6? — drove us to break our “No Drinking Before 5pm On Weekdays” rule.
