Gyllenhaal is best known for his work in serious movies like Donnie Darko, Zodiac and Brokeback Mountain. It's quite a departure for the actor to take on the lead role in Prince of Persia, which is based on a videogame.

Leo finally had a big hit with Shutter Island. He needs that streak to continue if he's going to hold onto his reputation as an actor worth $20 million for serious adult movies. Few films have been as shrouded in secrecy as Christopher Nolan's Inception, which hits theaters July 16. It has something to do with technology and dreams, but that's as much as anyone knows.
