“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.
Here’s the official trailers for Matt Busch’s Aladdin 3477 – I: The Jinn of Wisdom, from YouTube:
In the year 3477, a resourceful Hong Kong thief’s obsession with the Princess of India propels him on a globe-trotting odyssey, where he crosses paths with an enigmatic ancient sage. These live-action feature films are based on the classic Arabian Nights tale, set 1,500 years in the future throughout India and Asia. Unlike Disney’s version, this adventure looks like Star Wars, feels like Indiana Jones, and is vast in scope like Lord of the Rings. Aladdin 3477- I: The Jinn of Wisdom is written and directed by indie filmmaker / pop culture artist Matt Busch, making his feature directorial debut with this project after many more years working in the movie industry on other various projects. This trilogy is supposed to continue with Aladdin 3477 – II and Aladdin 3477 – III. Produced by Ric Viers, Lin Zy, and Matt Busch. The trilogy was also funded on Kickstarter. Buffalo 8 will debut Aladdin 3477 – I: The Jinn of Wisdom (the first film) direct-to-VOD in the US starting January 3rd, 2025 early next year. For more details visit the film’s official site. Any good?
