The Trailer for Disney's Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time has been released on youtube and can be seen here . David Belle, founder of Parkour, stunt doubles for Jake Gyllenhaal who plays the lead. Not much Parkour action in the trailer, but definitely a couple of places you can spot David's signature style. Discuss the movie on APK forums.
