Sci-Fi Fantasy Film ‘Aladdin 3477: The Jinn of Wisdom’ Official Trailer

“We’re better than this… we belong up there!” Buffalo 8 has unveiled a new official trailer for the indie sci-fi fantasy project called Aladdin 3477: The Jinn of Wisdom, the first film in a planned trilogy of futuristic Aladdin movies. It’s now set for a VOD release in January 2025 if anyone is curious. Director Matt Busch explains the concept: “The Aladdin 3477 storyline is much different than the Disney animated version most are familiar with. Stemming from the roots of the original story, this live-action take is darker in tone… Here you’ll find no singing and no blue genie doing crazy comedy impressions. [These] films will instead resemble more of a Star Wars look & feel with it’s epic scale of action and cinematic wonder.” This has been filming for a decade already, shooting on location the world, with additional Kickstarter support helping get the films finished. Erik Steele stars as the charming thief, with Christi Perovski as Princess Kamala, Lin Zy, Jerry Hayes, and Aaron Golematis as The Jinn of Wisdom. I dig the lo-fi, microbudget, punk sci-fi vibes of this – just not sure if the film will be any good despite all the creativity put into making it. Fire it up. // Continue Reading ›
