Jerry BruckheimerJERRY Bruckheimer has turned to Facebook to cast special roles in his new movies.

The legendary director found one of the free-running stars for his new movie the Prince of Persia on the social-networking site.

“We brought in the key experts out of France to work with us on the movie,” said Bruckheimer. “In the opening there’s a young man who portrays Jake Gyllenhaal as a young boy, and he was a Parkour expert. And he’s ten years old. It’s amazing. Absolutely amazing.

“They sent us online, like Facebook, things of these kids and this kid was extraordinary so we hired him.”
