(Hollywood, CA) - Giant Flick Films LLC in association with Steven Paul�s Crystal Edge LLC, an affiliate of Crystal Sky LLC proudly announces �Sinbad The Fifth Voyage� during this year�s Cannes International Film Festival.

The exciting $22M budgeted live action film is based on the Middle Eastern fairy tale adventures of Sinbad the sailor and is narrated by Sir Patrick Stewart(Star Trek, Dune, X-Men). �Sinbad The Fifth Voyage�, which features creatures such as the Cyclops, the Goliath Crab monster, skeletons in the dead tree forest, and the Minozaur creature to name a few, has been produced using a unique combination of state of the art visual FX, old school stop-animation (Dynamation) technology of yester-year, and is loosely based on the original tales from the highly acclaimed �Arabian Nights� book.

�Being a fan of the original tales from the Arabian Nights as well as the great creature movies of yester-year, we teamed up with artists from around the globe and really pushed to deliver a fresh version of Sinbad the Sailor. � - said up and coming Persian-American actor/director Shahin Sean Solimon. �We wanted to create something very unique for the fans of Sinbad and bring back the traditional style of Visual FX movie making. Although it's a painstaking process, as the animators have to go frame by frame, we are excited and looking forward to giving young and old audiences a chance to experience this movie!�

Primed for a 2012 release �Sinbad The Fifth Voyage� is reminiscent of the classic Saturday afternoon matinee films originally brought to the silver screen in the 1950s using stop-motion animation technology.

Steven Paul�s Crystal Edge, LLC is an affiliate of Crystal Sky (Ghost Rider, Tekken) also headed by Steven Paul, an Executive Producer, and is representing �Sinbad The Fifth Voyage� as worldwide exclusive sales agent, and is showcasing Sinbad during Cannes International Film Festival.
