‘The experts would teach us every day,’ says Gyllenhaal. ‘We worked very closely with David Belle, who invented parkour, but I wanted to do the functional action myself. If I was going to run on walls, I really wanted to do it. I just tried to figure out how to do that and not get hurt.’
Gyllenhaal also worked hard on his English accent, which for some reason the film-makers believed would have been deployed by a prince in 6th-Century Persia.
In fact, the British influence is felt keenly throughout the movie. Ben Kingsley plays the evil nobleman Nizam, Alfred Molina plays Dastan’s mentor Sheik Amar, and Bond girl Gemma Arterton plays Dastan’s voluptuous love interest, the high priestess Tamina. Source: www.dailymail.co.uk
