This a great teaser trailer for an upcoming film. A film that most of the world has seen before! Question, why doesn't the Cave of Wonders have a different voice? Why did Disney tap Guy Ritchie for this film? Did they not see his King Arthur debacle? I think this is one to skip. Sorry Disney, I like original enough to not see this one. I don't think there was any need to improve upon perfection. #AFJ4LIFE
Synopsis: “Aladdin” is the exciting tale of the charming street rat Aladdin, the courageous and self-determined Princess Jasmine and the Genie who may be the key to their future. Directed by Guy Ritchie, who brings his singular flair for fast-paced, visceral action to the fictitious port city of Agrabah, the film is written by John August and Ritchie based on Disney’s “Aladdin.”
“Aladdin” stars Will Smith as the larger-than-life Genie; Mena Massoud as the charming scoundrel Aladdin; Naomi Scott as Jasmine, the beautiful, self-determined princess; Marwan Kenzari as Jafar, the powerful sorcerer; Navid Negahban as the Sultan concerned with his daughter’s future; Nasim Pedrad as Dalia, Princess Jasmine’s free-spirited best friend and confidante; Billy Magnussen as the handsome and arrogant suitor Prince Anders; and Numan Acar as Hakim, Jafar’s right-hand man and captain of the palace guards. The film is produced by Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich with Marc Platt and Kevin De La Noy serving as executive producers. Alan Menken provides the score, which includes new recordings of the original songs written by Menken and lyricists Howard Ashman and Tim Rice and two new songs written by Menken and songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. The film, which was shot on practical stages in London and on location amidst the stunning desert vistas of Jordan, has a talented creative team helping to bring Agrabah to life, including: director of photography Alan Stewart, production designer Gemma Jackson and costume designer Michael Wilkinson.
Aladdin features Will Smith, Mena Massoud, Nasim Pedrad, Marwan Kenzari, Naomi Scott, Billy Magnussen, Numan Acar, and is directed by Guy Ritchie (Sherlock Holmes: Book of Shadows).
Aladdin arrives in theaters May 24, 2019.
