This new version, financed by Inferno Entertainment, “follows a young commander who, after his king is killed in a palace coup, joins forces with Sinbad, Aladdin and his genie to rescue Scheherazade and her kingdom from dark powers.” Expect a lot of funky magic carpet rides and I’m not talking about the Steppenwolf laser light show. Russell co-wrote the script with Barry Ambrose and will be shopping the pic at the American Film Market in LA this week. Filming on ARABIAN is expected to begin filming in April.
