Prince of Persia trailer– aka the Jake Gyllenhaal in brownface movie

I think it’s generally ridiculous in the year 2009 to have white people playing this far outside their race. Neither the blue-eyed Jake Gyllenhaal nor the downright pale leading lady Gemma Arterton look even remotely Middle Eastern, and no amount of makeup, wigs, or British accents (for some reason) can change that. Add to that a supporting cast of Alfred Molina (half Spanish) and Ben Kingsley (half Indian, close enough?), and you have a movie titled Prince of Persia starring no one with any heritage within 1,000 miles of Persia. Congratulations, Jerry Bruckheimer, you’re an idiot.
