New Sinbad film (next year): SINBAD: ROGUE OF MARS

[Neil]

Executive Producer Barry Schneer revealed that Rogue of Mars is the first of a planned new trilogy that will bring this beloved character to a whole new generation while still showing respect to the original fans, “I am thrilled to continue the amazing legacy my uncle, Charles Schneer began with 7th Voyage and bring to the screen the Sinbad movie that he and Ray Harryhausennever got to make.”

In his 4th film adventure, Sinbad and his crew find a magical urn and are soon transported to another planet by a ruthless and vengeful Jinn bent on freeing his race who have been imprisoned for millennia and then laying waste to the ones responsible.

“Sinbad has always been one of more popular titles in our library that also includes “Wrath of the Titans” and “Jason and the Argonauts”, says Darren G. Davis, Publisher of Bluewater Comics. “It certainly lends itself to a big-budget tentpole movie.”

Sinbad on Mars? Sounds daft to me!

Okay, I'll be the first to admit that I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around this.

It's Sinbad, the classic Arabic legend, and he's been transported to Mars by a Djinn? So...he's dead, right? Unless I'm missing something or there's going to be a completely stupid (and convenient!) plot device, there's no air on Mars.

If you want to piss all over a classic character, just say screw it and make Sinbad vs. Alien vs. Predator. Or why not crap over nearly every beloved franchise at once? Sinbad vs. Gandalf vs. Freddy vs. Jason vs. Darth Vader vs. Kirk vs. Batman vs. Superman vs. Aquaman (have to have someone to kill off early to MAKE IT PERSONAL) vs. GLaDOS vs. Gordon Freeman vs. Jesus Christ vs. Alien vs. Predator.

Sinbad on Mars?

It's no 'Biggles - Adventures in Time', but why the heck not?

HAHAHAHA! I loved that movie when I was a kid.

I also remember the old Sinbad movies quite well. They used to show them all the time on TNT back in the mid-1990s (before it changed to TCM, when it used to take over Cartoon Network's slot in the evenings). Lots of cool Harryhausen creatures and nubile white chicks in fake tan and silk veils flouncing around pretending to be Arabian. Fun times. :)
