Bloody Disgusting has some brand new art right out of the Cannes market with a first look at the poster for The Legend of Sinbad, from Hellboy and Expendables outfit Millennium Films. The poster promises that we’ll be seeing those infamous enormous snakes from the valley of the giant serpents.
The Wedding Singer and Around the World in 80 Days director Frank Coraci is getting behind the camera for the English-language film based on the iconic One Thousand and One Nights character Sinbad, a fictional Middle East mariner who over the course of seven voyages across the seas east of Africa and south of Asia has spectacular adventures encountering monsters, magic and various supernatural phenomena.
Deadline previously reported that the film is expected to have a cast of Middle East origin, including in the lead role.
Screenplay comes from Andrew Cosby, writer of Lionsgate’s upcoming Hellboy reboot and creator of Syfy series “Eureka”, and Hank Woon (It Came From the Desert).
Producers are Yariv Lerner (Acts Of Vengeance), Lloyd Levin (Hellboy) and Bea Levin, Les Weldon (The Hitman’s Bodyguard) and Jamal Sannan (Wilaneh). Executive producers are Avi Lerner, Boaz Davidson, Jeffrey Greenstein and Jonathan Yunger, alongside Lati Grobman and Christa Campbell of Campbell Grobman Films. Millennium will handle sales.
Shoot is being lined up for this fall with location scouting underway.
