Sinbad celebrated April Fools Day by perpetuating one of the internets greatest myths: The existence of his genie film Shazaam. On Saturday. College Humor shared lost footage of the comedian starring in the (fake) film on Saturday.
Based on countless testimonies found on internet message boards, a genie film titled Shazaam that starred Sinbad has been falsely implanted into the memories of thousands of Nineties kids.
This alternate universe theory, or the Mandela Effect as the phenomena is called, is similar to the Berenstein Bears/Berenstain Bears debate that similarly divided the internet; the common theory is that people are confusing the nonexistent Shazaam with the real film Kazaam, starring Shaquille ONeal as a genie.
Sinbad himself has long denied that he was ever cast as a genie Have you noticed no one my age has seen this so called Sinbad Genie movie, only you people who were kids in the 90s. The young mind, he tweeted in September but that didnt stop the comedian from reviving the Shazaam myth for April Fools Day.
It was my first time directing and the studio wasnt happy with the project, Sinbad said in a statement after College Humor unearthed an alleged Shazaam VHS from a shuttered Blockbuster. It was pulled from theatrical release. I would prefer if we all just pretended this never happened.
College Humor said in a statement, Like most Americans, we had weird memories of this movie existing, but just thought we were confused. Then, one of our producers found this VHS in a box behind a shut-down Blockbuster. Its quite damaged, and most of it has been recorded over, but whats there is classic cinema and movie magic. Were excited to share it with audiences at large.
