‘Aladdin’ is the latest Disney animation to receive a live-action remake – and new clips have just been released. Here’s everything you need to know about the film’s cast, release date and soundtrack.
Disney has just released two new clips from their live-action remake of Aladdin, set to hit cinemas on 24 May 2019.
Aladdin is a 2019 American musical fantasy film directed by Guy Ritchie, who co-wrote the screenplay with John August. Produced by Walt Disney Pictures, it is a live-action adaptation of Disney's 1992 animated film of the same name, which was based on the eponymous folktale from One Thousand and One Nights. The film stars Will Smith, Mena Massoud, Naomi Scott, Marwan Kenzari, Navid Negahban, Nasim Pedrad, and Billy Magnussen. In the film, street urchin Aladdin finds a magic lamp and must use it to win over Princess Jasmine and defeat the evil Jafar.
In October 2016, Disney announced Ritchie would direct a live-action Aladdin remake. Smith was the first member of the cast to join, signing on to portray Genie in July 2017, and later that month Massoud and Scott were confirmed for the two lead roles. Principal photography began that September at Longcross Studios in Surrey, England, also filming in the Wadi Rum Desert in Jordan, and lasted until January 2018. The film also pays tribute to the late Robin Williams, who voiced Genie in the animated feature and died in 2014.
Aladdin is scheduled to be theatrically released in the United States on May 24, 2019. The film received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the performances of Smith, Massoud and Scott, the costumes, visuals and musical numbers, though it received criticism for not adding anything new to the original film, as well the screenplay and portrayal of Jafar
