So... Disney's live action Aladdin does not have a release date as of yet, but the main roles have been cast...  LINKLINKI definitely like the Mena Massoud as Aladdin, and am glad they went with a relatively unknown, but culturally suitable actor for the title role.  And Will Smith playing the genie is already having me in stitches, and I know he'll be awesome!  Thoughts? Tags: Keecha1996 , LouiseX , disneyhead |

I would definitely love to see it when it comes out. I enjoyed the animated movie and the Broadway play, seeing the live action movie is a must.

^ That's awesome that you enjoyed the Aladdin Broadway Musical, disneyhead . I made a thread for it in the Opera House forum, so feel free to tell us about your experience there.  I look forward to the live action movie with bated breath, and hopefully it will be just lovely, and like something that just stepped out of the Arabian Nights book!  Keecha1996 and I were wondering how they would incorporate Rajah into the film. A real, live, tame tiger would be awesome, but a realistic CGI is not a bad idea either. I just want an adorable tiger that is Jasmine's one true friend before she meets Aladdin and Abu.  Speaking of Abu, a tame monkey might be a nice touch, but given how much moving around he has to do, I think CGI is probably a better bet.  So excited for this movie!  |

Thank you Shaliza for alerting me to this wonderful movie. Will Smith will be a wonderful addition. I'm so sorry Robin Williams killed himself because to me he is the Genie. I'll just have to keep an open mind and enjoy the show. |

I'm curious to see this one. I've liked all the live actions so far, and Aladdin has lots of potential to be a fun one.

Here's a video of the first look for the movie, and also the cast.  It's filming right now just outside of London, and is set to have a tentative 2018-2019 release date.  Tags: Keecha1996 |

It looks visually spectacular but so far I've found the 'live action' films pretty disappointing in terms of storyline.
Also, I like Will Smith but I have a feeling the genie is pretty much going to be Will Smith.
I'll want to see it though, I can hope they're getting better...

Here's a new video featuring brand, new behind-the-scenes footage from Aladdin. I think the costumes are lovely, and Abu the monkey is too adorable for words!  Hmm... now I'm curious as to what the carpet will look like...  Thoughts?

Here's the first official trailer for the live action Aladdin: I love the glimpses we get to see of Iago, Abu and Rajah. That tiger is gorgeous, CGI or not.  Everyone is complaining on YouTube how Will Smith has ruined the genie. I beg to differ. I found him hilarious and look forward to seeing him in the role. Just because Robin Williams is not playing the genie, does not mean that Will Smith automatically fails at it, in my humble opinion.  Thoughts?

It's nice to see they've added another female character.
Jafar looks much younger in this version. I wonder what other changes to expect?
