MORNINGSIDE ENTERTAINMENT OPTIONS BLUEWATER'S SINBAD
Morningside Entertainment has optioned Bluewater Productions' Sinbad: Rogue of Mars with plans to adapt into a feature for 2012.
A continuation of the Sinbad films that started in 1958 with The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, and followed in the 1970's with The Golden Voyage of Sinbad and Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger, Rogue of Mars is an updated sequel rather than a reboot.
Executive Producer Barry Schneer said that Rogue of Mars is the first of a planned new trilogy. "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 Harryhausen never got to make," he said.
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," said Darren G. Davis, publisher of Bluewater Productions. "It certainly lends itself to a big-budget tentpole movie."
Paul J. Salamoff, who wrote Bluewater's Logan's Run comic, has been tapped to write the screenplay.
Bluewater's Sinbad: Rogue of Mars new graphic novel will be available in April.
