LOS ANGELES (AP) — Harry Potter has kept his fans waiting for two years, the longest school break they have had to endure for a new movie adventure about the teen wizard.

Jake Gyllenhaal has been signed to star in Disney's Prince Of Persia: Sands Of Time after months of speculation surrounding the movie's male lead.

Disney has denied Orlando Bloom will star in the studio's new blockbuster Prince Of Persia: Sands Of Time, according to internet reports. The 31-year-old Pirates Of The Caribbean actor was reported to have beaten off competition from Zac Efron to land the lead role in the adaptation of Jordan Mechner's popular computer game series.
