"I am thrilled to continue the amazing legacy my uncle, Charles Schneer began with '7th Voyage' and be able to bring to the screen the 'Sinbad' movie that he and Ray Harryhausen never got to make."
"...In his 4th film adventure, 'Sinbad' and his crew find are transported to another planet by a ruthless 'Jinn' bent on freeing his race who have been imprisoned for millennia..."
"'Sinbad has always been one of more popular titles in our library, " said Darren G. Davis, Publisher of Bluewater Productions. "It certainly lends itself to a big-budget tentpole movie".
Morningside and banking partner, Pablo Antoniazzi, Director of the Brazilian Bank, Estratejia Investimentos, S.A. have co-ventured to structure the financing for the film, attaching writer Paul J. Salamoff to draft the screenplay.
