1Just Deserts

Big violin music over desert scenes. It's like The Dark Knight, but with lots more sand (though if you count the gravel in Christian Bale's bat-voice, maybe it's about the same).

"The movie's mostly based on 'The Sands Of Time,' which is the 2003 game that I did with Ubisoft Montreal," says title creator and the film's story writer Jordan Mechner.

"Rather than try to do a literal retelling of the game, what I pitched to Jerry and Disney in 2004 and I think what the movie very much is, it's characters and elements, some of the coolest elements from the game, sort of reconfigured into a story that makes a great movie."
