SANDOKAN SERIES
TRAILER AND AIR DATE REVEALED
![]() |
Sandokan arrives this December to RAI |
IN NEW SERIES
Adventure, passion, revolution and love for nature: these are the colors
of Sandokan, the event series that gives life to the immortal character
created by Emilio Salgari. The series goes to the roots of a myth,
exploring the origins of the Malaysian Tiger and telling his trajectory
from a simple adventurer to the prince of the pirates. In Borneo, a
tropical paradise inhabited by the native tribes of Dayak, but dominated
by the ruthless law ofthe colonialist British, Sandokan is a pirate
who lives by the day: he fights
only for himself and for his crew,
including the trusted Yanez. But his life changes when he meets
Marianna, the beautiful daughter of Labuan’s British consul during a
raid. It is the beginning of an impossible love story between two similar souls: Marianna, of European and noble blood, but with the wild
spirit of those who grew up in a tropical paradise, and Sandokan, pirate
and adventurer, who without knowing it carries within himself the blood
of ancient warrior kings. On their trail will be the legendary pirate
hunter Lord James Brooke, who will stop at nothing to capture Sandokan
and win Mariana’s heart.
The protagonists will
fight for themselves and for their love, but soon
they will understand that they are part of a much greater story: that of
apeople who fight for freedom and for
the salvation of unspoiled
nature... And this people, the Dayak, seek a leader who can save them.
For this reason Sandokan will be called to be much more than a pirate:
he will have to become the legendary Tiger of Malaysia.

Can Yaman takes the lead role |


O trailer da série já me deixou curiosa Dezmond, abraços.
ReplyDeleteHope we will manage to see it around the world as well, unlike his El Turco series which did not air in many countries.
DeleteThe guy looks like the man of the men...
ReplyDeleteTurkish hunks are usually like that, dark, hairy, brooding and masculine.
DeleteIt boggles my brain that the streamers in the USA ignore the actor Can Yaman. El Turco was monumentally successful in dozens and dozens of countries around the world nothing in the USA. This series surpasses so much of what is being shown currently. Plus it was made in English! Plus the series he made in Italy in Italian, Viola Come Il Mare, was gorgeous with two seasons. Again ignored in the USA though it was shown on Netflix Italy. Again sold to many countries around the world while Italian shows of lesser quality appear on American tv. Now we have Sandokan, made in English, and arriving possibly in December. If this doesn’t make it to the USA I’m going to give up.
ReplyDeleteTis probably because Sandokan was more of a European and Asian classic, than Anglo one so American streamers do not care about it, they prefer shows about serial killers, crooks and murderous children, sadly.
DeleteWhat’s even more mind blowing is that Can Yaman is an absolute phenomenon in at least a hundred countries which is half the world! And he is a superb actor.
ReplyDeleteHe certainly has tons of very faithful fans around the world.
