Get it straight (so to speak)Dec 1st, 2005 - 18:14:17

Sony axed Sinbad because it was a bad, expensive idea. The failure of Stealth confirmed it's demise. It would have been canned even if Johnny Depp was in talks for the lead. BTW, Reeves is hardly unemployed, with three films in pre-production and two in post-production...

Sony, please take a chance on The Eighth Voyage of Sinbad. When I first heard of this becoming a potential movie, my heart leaped. It would be so great to have Ray Harryhausen back! He is my hero and I'll wager that he's the hero of every film specialeffects artist living today. It can't be that stop-motion animation should be dead. Why can't stop-motion animation exist side-by-side with CGI? Can you imagine the possibilities? So please, Sony, please. Give it a chance. Let's get Ray Harryhausen back, and let's get The Eighth Voyage of Sinbad off the ground. I'll even send you a treatment if you'd like, though I suspect you folks would have little time to read it. Thanks for listening.
