Chuck Russell is set to direct a 3D reworking of "Arabian Nights." In a new spin on the classic, the story 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.
"Through the use of a new generation of visual technologies, we will be able to quite literally take audiences around the world on a magic carpet ride," Russell said. |
Announced in November: http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=60601
Hmmm.

| So Shahryar dies in a coup and this commander uses people in Scheherazade's stories to help save her and the kingdom? I feel like I've heard of this plot line before, but I can't figure out where... |

| Well, in the late-90s Arabian Nights miniseries (the one where John Leguizamo is the genie) Shahryar doesn't die and doesn't literally summon the Arabian Nights characters, but he does use what he learned from the stories in the final battle. |

| Yes, I have that one on DVD, but I feel like this plot line is something I've heard in another story perhaps. Not necessarily the Arabian Nights. It just sounds...typical, I guess. |
