Some of Hollywood’s brightest are lining up some really interesting projects this week. We’ve got two doses of sci-fi goodness plus the next Alexander Payne movie attaching big names in today’s Casting Bites.

Bradley Cooper continues his hot streak, signing on to star in the Neil Burger-directed thriller Dark Fields. Based on the book by Alan Glynn, the film was originally set to star Shia LaBeouf before Cooper came aboard. It centers on a struggling writer whose life takes a sudden and sharp upswing when he chances across a top-secret pharmaceutical drug that increases intelligence. It isn’t long before he discovers that the drug has dangerous side effects, though, including the phenomenon of “trip-switching” which causes him to experience time in a stop-motion fashion. To make things worse, he also finds himself being pursued by shadowy antagonists. Leslie Dixon wrote the script, which is said to be in the vein of Fight Club and The Game.

Get it while it lasts, folks, cause there’s no way this is staying up for long! A low quality version of the trailer for Prince of Persia: Sands of Time has popped up on YouTube ahead of any official debut. Disney’s been privately previewing the trailer to some movie and video game sites, but this is the first time any footage has actually surfaced online.

The leaked version will no doubt be yanked soon, so watch it after the jump while you still can. Its presence should mean that the official high quality version will be up any day now, either in theaters or online somewhere. Catch the YouTube version now if you want an early peek at the epic-ness and awesome adventure this trailer is selling. I can’t wait to see this in better quality, but for now I can say that Disney could have another massive hit along the lines of Pirates of the Caribbean on their hands.

by Roy on 14 Nov 2008 | Comments ET has a video up from a set visit of Prince of Persia with the freshly ripped Jake Gyllenhaal, where awkward jokes are exchanged with ET reporter Thea Andrews, Bruckheimer compares the footage to Lawrence of Arabia (come on, you SAW that one coming, right?), and Jake exudes goofiness and general nice-guy vibes. Based off the video game franchise of the same name, Prince of Persia co-stars Quantum of Solace bond girl Gemma Arterton (whom some of you may know from RocknRolla) as feisty princess Tamina, and Sir Ben Kingsley as … Read»
