The production on Prince of Persia has been delayed a bit, as the film won't be released until 2010.

Still, below is a photo of star Jake Gyllenhaal on set - and looking ripped!

The actor plays Dastan, a young prince in sixth century Persia.

He must join forces with Tamina (Gemma 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.

Jake Gyllenhaal and Gemma Arterton will star in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer Films' adaptation of the popular video game.

In the fantasy adventure, Gyllenhaal will portray Dastan, a young prince in sixth century Persia who must join forces with Tamina (Arterton), a feisty and exotic princess. Together, they must 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.

As The Hollywood Reporter states, Gyllenhaal will next appear in Brothers with Tobey Maguire.

British actress Arterton is relatively new on the film scene, but is already generating heat for her work in Guy Ritchie's upcoming RocknRolla and the new James Bond movie, Quantum of Solace.

Tom Brady may make headlines these days for dating Gisele Bundchen.

And Tony Romo may be in the news a lot for dating, well, we can't keep track of which Hollywood hottie he's with at the moment.

But the first celebrity quarterback of all-time was unquestionably Joe Namath. And fans will get a chance to learn about the former Jets star now that Jake Gyllenhaal has signed up to portray him in an upcoming biopic.

Producers have long been after Namath for a movie, but he only recently agreed after a strong pitch by writer David Hollander (The Guardian) and the understanding that Gyllenhaal would star.

Namath was the highly popular quarterback of the New York Jets from 1965-1976 and achieved legendary status for his bold prediction that his Jets would beat the seemingly invincible Colts in Super Bowl III.
