Very disappointing news!

Walt Disney Pictures has moved the Jerry Bruckheimer-produced Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time out of its June 19, 2009 release date spot (which would have been a week before Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is opening) and has pushed it back almost a year to May 28, 2010, which is the week after Shrek Goes Fourth is scheduled and a week before Marvel Studios’ Thor.

With Memorial Day being observed on May 31, 2010, the movie would have a four day opening, unless it debuts earlier in the week.

The Mike Newell-directed video game adaptation stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Gemma Arterton, Alfred Molina and Ben Kingsley. Gyllenhaal will play Dastan, a young prince in sixth century Persia who must join forces with Tamina (Arterton), a feisty and exotic princess, to prevent a villainous nobleman from possessing the Sands of Time, a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world.

Bond girl Gemma Arterton was “in a daze” when she filmed her sex scene with Daniel Craig.

The British actress - who plays Agent Fields in new 007 movie Quantum of Solace - found it surreal to get hot and steamy with the hunky star, who plays the suave spy.

She said: “I felt like a giggly girl because Daniel is such a man. I have to admit I was in a bit of a dream, a daze, when I filmed my love scene with Bond!”

Gemma recently revealed Daniel had to wear heeled shoes to make him taller than her when they were shooting several scenes.

According to his new co-star Gemma Arterton in the latest film, Quantum of Solace, the 40-year-old star was forced to boost his stature with stacked shoes when she was wearing stilettos.

In the past, he has been known to be touchy about his vital statistics, snapping at one enquiring interviewer that he was “somewhere between 5ft and 6ft.”

But the loyal Miss Arterton, 22, insisted he had taken the producers’ decision “with good humour”.

I think it is fair to say that Gemma Arterton is fast becoming the hardest working film actress in the biz at the moment!

As you may notice the updated sidebar as well as the filmography, Gemma has yet another new film in the works! That is Richard Curtis’s The Boat That Rocked, which is currently being filmed. The cast includes Philip Seymour Hoffman, Emma Thompson, Bill Nighy and Kenneth Branagh so Gemma’s indeed in a very good company here! Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time is in pre-production and will begin this month.
