It looks as though Disney’s upcoming live-action Aladdin production is getting a script rewrite. The film – a remake of the Oscar-winning 1992 animated hit that starred Robin Williams as the voice of the Genie – is being directed by long-time gangster movie enthusiast Guy Ritchie.
Most recently she’s joined forces with Guillermo del Toro for the script of his upcoming adventure/fantasy film The Shape of Water.
With its blend of fantasy, music and humor, Aladdin seems to have everything going for it as far as potentially successful remakes go.
Ritchie is still busy getting things nailed down before the film heads into production, which may take place late this year or early 2018.
