Jake Gyllenhaal was photographed horseback riding in England yesterday practicing for his upcoming role in "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time". Sounds really good and I can't wait to see Jake battling some demons! That's a new angle for him isn't it?

Set in medieval Persia, the story of an adventurous prince who teams up with a rival princess to stop an angry ruler from unleashing a sandstorm that could destroy the world. Which is why after the prince was tricked by a dying Vizier to unleash the Sands of Time that turns out to destroy a kingdom and transforms its populace into ferocious demons. In his effort to save his own kingdom and redeem his fatal mistake, it's up to the prince and the princess to return the sands to the hourglass by using the Dagger of Time, which also gives him a limited control over the flow of time.
