The famed fictional sailor has gone through a lot of re-tellings throughout the years; from his original Arabian Night tales he has since had a TV series made, gave his name to a questionably funny comedian and even let Brad Pitt be his voice in a Dreamworks animated movie.

This year the sailor will once again be in animated form, but this time he will be getting the anime makeover. Nippon Animation will be releasing the film Sinbad: Sora Tobu Hime no Shima (or Sinbad: The Flying Princess and the Secret Island) in July to celebrate its 40th anniversary. An official website was created for the film and a thirty second teaser has been recently uploaded onto the site, you can check out the trailer by clicking the video down below.

Nippon Animation will be working alongside studio Shirogumi to produce the film project, Shinpei Miyashita will be directing the film and Yoshiharu Sato (animation director for My Neighbor Totoro) has been given the role of character designer and animation director.

Let us know what you think about this Sinbad movie by leaving a comment down below.

New Trailer Released for Space Hulk: Deathwing

A new trailer has been released for the first-person shooter Space Hulk: Deathwing called Rise of the Terminators. Deathwing based on the ever popular warhammer 40k IP and takes inspiration from the original Space Hulk boardgame. We’ve previously covered the release of screenshots from the game’s engine and are now being shown a cool new trailer.

The trailer itself is rendered with the in-game engine and makes for some nice 40k visuals as space marines in tactical dreadnought (terminator) armour go toe-to-toe with ravenous genestealers. The video juxtaposes well with the song Walking With a Ghost by Swiss band Kadebostany. Unfortunately, the trailer does not showcase any gameplay (as far as I can see) but it’ll be interesting to see another FPS title make use of the 40k IP (with the only other example so far being Fire Warrior).

The game is being developed by Streum On Studio, co-produced by Cyanide Studio and published by Focus Home Interactive. You can find the official site here.
