With a budget of 150 million dollars, Prince of Persia managed to collect only $ 336 million in global boxes, and not becoming the successor of the Pirates of the Caribbean Sea, which the Disney studio hoped. The cause of the failure of criticism was recognized not only a weak scenario, but also the so-called Vaitesching - the choice of a white actor on the role of a character representing an ethnic minority. Jake agreed that the Prince was to play Irana, and consent to this role was an erroneous decision, but he learned from this lesson.
"I think I learned a lot from this film, because now I spend a lot of time trying to be thoughtful about the roles that I choose, and think about why. But you will definitely make a mistake and say: "For me it was wrong," or "it was not perfect for me." There were several such roles, but then there was a number of images that were accepted well, "said Jillenhol in a conversation with Yahoo.
And indeed, after the failure of Prince Persia, the actor focused on serious cinema and starred in such projects as "prisoners", "under the cover of the night", "Living", "velvet chainsaw" and others.
