Adam Shankman’s The 8th Voyage Of Sinbad

The 8th Voyage will tell the tale of Sinbad’s quest to find the Aladdin’s lamp. According to THR, Sinbad and his shipmates “meet a beautiful empress and do battle with fantastic creatures and a rebellious Chinese general who threatens the kingdom.” Rob Cohen had been previously in line to direct the project with Vin Diesel attached to star. Too bad we will never see that version of the project. I’m sure we missed out on a potential masterpiece.
National Treasure: Book of Secrets scribes The Wibberleys wrote the most recent draft of the screenplay. Their screenwriting credits also include The Shaggy Dog, Bad Boys II, Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle and The 6th Day — a filmography that lacks both confidence and quality.
