Gyllenhaal: 40 days and 40 nights of misery. How did you develop the character or what did you bring to the role?
So often you can hide in all that stuff so easily, and to look at what say a real Persian prince would look like and then who the Prince of Persia is in the video game and then a whole slew of inspiration in between there. What was really important was for me personally to bring some sort of realism into this world that is not always fully based on reality. I went online when I first started researching stuff for the role. Yeah, I've played the game a lot more when I was really young, and I know the game in its Atari-like version. Actually, there's equal pressure in real people than video game characters, which is sort of strange.
I've played a lot of real people in my life. You get to make a new path for what the character is as opposed to being nervous you're going to screw up that's already there. Gyllenhaal: I feel a responsibility because I think the prince in the video games, he has a personality and you know his story, but I think a lot of video games as an actor, just putting that kind of expression onto a character. Had you ever played the game before and do you feel any sort of responsibility playing such an iconic character?
