In case you don't know who Mike Newell is, he's a film director. More specifically, he's the film director behind the recent Prince of Persia film adapation, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, starring Jake Gyllenhaal.

I.E.: Release date leaked.



The Sands of Time have been given a date. Blu-ray.com is reporting that Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment's release of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time has been leaked via a retailer announcement, with two separate Blu-ray versions coming on September 14, 2010. We're no industry wizards or anything, but we'll go ahead and make an assumption that the DVD release will also match up for the September date.

The flick is the long-awaited videogame adaptation of the Ubisoft game that graced the PlayStation 2, Xbox and GameCube earlier in the decade, and revitalized the once-fantastic franchise, putting it into the forefront of the gaming industry once more with its stellar platforming and acrobatic twists and turns. The movie was met with mostly disappointment, but should look pretty good on your HDTV, regardless of which side you stand.
