Andrew Divoff was set to reprise his role as The Djinn in Wishmaster 3 and in 1999, he had even written a script for a third entry entitled Wishmaster: The Third Millennium, that would have revolved around the panic surrounding Y2K at the time. Divoff's script would have opened with an American warship getting struck by a missile in Asia, while a meeting at the UN is interrupted by creatures coming to life and tearing apart the crowd. According to an interview with Divoff, a lot of thought was put into his script. But when he presented his script to the producers, they turned it down, feeling it was too ambitious and expensive to make so they went with
Alex Wright's script instead. Divoff read it, hated it and left.
