A new behind-the-scenes video preview of the Prince of Persia film fleshes out the character of the Prince himself, named “Dastan” (no relation) in the movie.
Actor Jake Gyllenhaal, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Mike Newell explain that the Prince’s character is — wait for it — a lovable rogue! Always getting into scrapes and barely getting himself out of them! Oh, that scamp.
There’s also lots more footage of Gyllenhall and/or his stunt double doing backflips off walls, jumping over rooftops and generally reenacting the videogame.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time will arrive in theaters on May 28.
