Adam Shankman is set to take on directing chores for Disney’s “Bob the Musical” and Sony’s “Sinbad.”
Variety reports “Bob the Musical” follows a regular man who is struck on the head and starts to hear the "inner song" of people's hearts. It will be produced by Jennifer Gibgot (Shankman's sister),Chris Bender, JC Spink, Tripp Vinson and Beau Flynn. Shankman is set to executive produce the film.
Shankman is said to be in final talks with Sony to take on the directing chores for the studio’s new “Sinbad” adventure – which has had several directors attached including John Singleton and Rob Cohen.
The new story will see Sinbad and crew marooned off the coast of China and on a quest to find Aladdin’s lamp.
In Daily Variety, Shankman stated: "Ever since 'Hairspray,' I've been desperate to do another musical. The idea of working with all original music is thrilling. With 'Bob the Musical,' I'll be working again with ('Hairspray' composer) Marc Shaiman. And 'Sinbad' gives me the opportunity to really stretch my imagination as far as I can take it."
