SyFy’s The Phantom Trailer from Carnivale Creator Daniel Knauf
Oh yes, that’s right… it’s time to Slam Evil all over again. The Phantom is back baby! If you thought the 1996 movie starring Billy Zane was amazing, just wait until you see SyFy’s new re-imagining of the masked superhero. Written by Carnivale creator Daniel Knauf and his son Charles, this new version of The Phantom is a two-part made-for-TV mini-series starring Ryan Carnes (Desperate Housewives, General Hospital) as the 21st Phantom.
This isn’t your father’s Phantom, however. Chris Moore is a law student and parkour runner who learns that he was adopted. After his parents are murdered, he must don the famous Skull Ring and train in the jungles of Bengalla so that he can take on the evil Singh Brotherhood. Oh, and in case you haven’t guessed, The Phantom costume has been heavily re-imagined as well. Sandrine Holt, Jean Marchand, and Isabella Rossellini also star in what is sure to be a must-see television event!! The Phantom will air on SyFy in the U.S. and The Movie Network in Canada sometime in 2010. Check out the trailer after the jump.
