Michael Bay To Helm Prince of Persia

Uber-producer Jerry Bruckheimer has tapped Michael Bay to direct the film adaptation of the videogame, PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE SANDS OF TIME, reports IESB.net. Walt Disney Pictures hopes Bay will follow-up this summer's TRANSFORMERS with PERSIA, setting summer 2009 as its release date.

The videogame chronicles the adventure of a prince who partners with a rival princess in an effort to stop a mad ruler from unleashing a massive sandstorm on the world. The game's creator Jordan Mechner wrote the first draft of the script with rewrites from Jeffrey Nachmanoff.
