Sinbad and the Minotaur, directed by Karl Zwicky (Farscape), was shot in Queensland last year. It was shot by Nino Martinetti ACS on Kodak Vision 3 500T and 200T stock using an ARRICAM LT with Cooke S4 lenses.
The film is a lively reimagining and combination of familiar Greek myths and Arabic folk tales. Starring Manu Bennett (Spartacus: Blood And Sand; 30 Days Of Night) and Steven Grives (Mission: Impossible), the film takes the illustrious sailor on a fun, irreverent romp into Xena: Warrior Princess territory as he sets out to claim the long-lost gold of the gods.
Over the past four years Bennett has played action roles involving spectacular fights with the greatest modern-day gladiators from the popular WWE wrestling arena: John Cena in The Marine and Stone Cold Steve Austin in The Condemned.
Sinbad and the Minotaur (MA 15) is released on June 30. Check out www.facebook.com/sinbadfilm for info and screening locations and times.
