However, with Ritchie now entering talks to helm Aladdin, it sounds as though that and not a third Sherlock Holmes film will serve as Ritchie’s King Arthur followup.
It sometimes feels as though a fresh story about a live-action remake/re-imagining of a Disney animated classic breaks every week nowadays.
The live-action Aladdin film is being written by John August (Big Fish, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Frankenweenie [2012]) and has even found its director, according to a new report.
THR has broken the news that Guy Ritchie – best known to most U.S. moviegoers for directing the Robert Downey Jr.-headlined Sherlock Holmes movies – is lining up to direct the live-action take on Aladdin for Disney.
