Jordan Mechner, the man behind the long-running series, has hailed the new flick he has been involved in the creation of based on the videogame property.

"I wasn't involved in casting but I love the cast. I think they're all terrific. Jake looks a lot like the prince in the game. He's a great actor and I think for me he embodies a lot of the qualities that sort of define the kind of hero that I've always seen the Prince as. He's a warrior, but he's also got a sort of mischievous quality, a certain vulnerability and I think Jake brings that to the screen in a way that's really appealing," Mechner offers, according to GoNintendo.

"We really made the move to stand on its own so even if you've never played Prince of Persia, you've never played a game, you can completely enjoy it. But for people who have played the games, there are definitely moments of physical that sort of allude to the game, that gamers can appreciate on another level."

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is due in May.
