Interview with Rob Cohen at the "XXX State of the Union" Premiere
Apr 27 2005
What’s Happening with “Sinbad:” “’Sinbad’ is in development. We are starting to shoot in January or February. Keanu Reeves is set to play Sinbad. So it’s my next film.”
Additional “Sinbad” Casting News: “Well, maybe Zhang Ziyi as the Princess and possibly Jet Li as the General, the villain.”
What’s In Store for “Sinbad:” “Creatures and a hero’s journey. Sinbad for the first time will be played by an actor of real depth.”
Does That Mean “Sinbad” Will be More Character-Driven Than Special Effects Heavy?: “Oh no, it will have its spectacle. It’s [set] in the south of China in the 10th century and it’s the search for Aladdin’s lamp.”

评：Cohen提到章可能演the Princess，而且 It’s [set] in the south of China in the 10th century ，可见剧本有改动，是10世纪的事，也就是唐末五代时，而武则天那时都死一，二百年了。这样最好，反正是虚构，用Princess，不用什么女皇省了很多麻烦。
