Gamaustra sat down with Jorden Mechner, the creator of the Prince of Persia Games, and asked him a few question about work with Jerry Jerry Bruckheimer, and the Prince Of Persia Movie.
There’s been buzz about the Prince of Persia movie. Who’s producing? Who’s directing?
Jerry Bruckheimer is producing for Walt Disney Pictures. Mike Newell [Donnie Brasco, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire] is the director.
What’s it like working with Jerry Bruckheimer?
I’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg, but he is extremely focused, detail-oriented and completely unflappable. Things that most people might consider a crisis — hurricanes, strikes, whatever — he handles very calmly and somehow it all works out. I can see why the studios feel confident entrusting him with hundreds of millions of dollars. If he’s making the movie, everything’s gonna be OK.
Is Ubisoft involved or does your license agreement allow you to do this separately?

December 6th 2007: Northamptonshire, UK: Oxygen Games™ has been fortunate enough to get an interview with Mr Football himself, Alan Hansen, star of Alan Hansen’s Sports Challenge, for Playstation®2, PC and Wii™.
OG: What made you decide to put your name and talents into a videogame?
AH: I liked the concept and thought it would be quite a fun project to be involved with. And I was right!
OG: What has it been like working with Oxygen?
AH: It’s been great – everyone is very professional but still retains a sense of fun. My involvement with this has been a lot easier than working on TV and radio; I was able to just go to the recording studio and do my stuff. Nobody yelling “Cut” every time I recorded a take! Shooting the promo ad was really fun too.
OG: What’s been the best/most fun aspect of making this game?
