Sandokan, a new adaptation of Emilio Salgari's classic novels, has hit screens. With grand-scale battles, forbidden romance, and colonial drama, this project is a gift for those yearning for pirate sagas of the past.
What Is 'Sandokan' About?
Set in mid-19th-century Borneo, the series recounts the legend of Sandokan, also known as the Tiger of Malaysia. He is a noble pirate who fights against British colonizers threatening the freedom of his land.
The story is reminiscent of Robin Hood, but set in an exotic Asian setting. Fate brings Sandokan together with Marianne, the rebellious daughter of a British lord. A forbidden and dangerous passion ignites between them.
'Sandokan' Is a Visually Stunning Series with an Impressive Cast
Turkish actor Can Yaman brilliantly portrays the charismatic pirate. His Sandokan is the perfect blend of daring, nobility, and indomitable will.
Ed Westwick, familiar to fans of the original Gossip Girl, plays the villain, Lord James Brooke. With accomplished actors like John Hannah, known for his work in The Mummy, and Owen Teale, who played Alliser Thorne in Game of Thrones, the cast adds gravitas and weight to the project.
Furthermore, Sandokan was filmed in Italy and Thailand, and every frame is a visual feast. We are immersed in the atmosphere of the 19th century with endless jungles, luxurious sandy beaches, massive naval battles, and a meticulously recreated colony of Labuan, all worthy of a major motion picture.
