Guy Ritchie has already been tapped to direct the live-action adaptation of Aladdin – which is currently seeking to cast Will Smith as the Genie – and the latest word has the filmmaker aiming for an “authentic voice.”
I think the film will dictate exactly what the tone is supposed to be and who’s supposed to be in it.
It will be what it will be, because it should be what it should be.
You just don’t want to feel like you’re muscled into it, because you’re bullied into it.
