Fantasy Guy Ritchie Directing Disney's Aladdin

[Spider-Ranger]

I would be totally on board with Jade playing Jasmine!!

As a huge Little Mix supporter, I'm sure that she could pull off the role. She's a big Disney fan herself, she has a beautiful voice with a wide range, and is great performer/dancer too. All of that is needed if "Aladdin" is going to be a musical film.

Another wacky rumour from the Sun.

Mad Max star Tom Hardy is in director Guy Ritchie’s sights to star as Jafar in Aladdin remake

 

[terry78]

They won't. Not anymore.

 

[TheVileOne]

Isn't he supposed to be playing Venom?

 

[Octoberist]

It's not real. It's from the Sun, and Disney had made it clear that they're using actors from Arabic descent (and assuming North African/South Asian actors too.)

 

[Marvolo]

Isn't he supposed to be playing Venom?

Yeah, but depending on the scheduling he could probably do both.

 

[TheVileOne]

Well if it's from The Sun, I'm less likely to believe it. Isn't the Sun basically a tabloid?

 

[Schlosser85]

Why is Guy Ritchie allowed to keep remaking stuff?

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

I wonder when Disney will announce that Guy is no longer directing this....

 

[Silvermoth]

I reckon he will. It's an easy way to make a billion dollar movie and he might need that post King Arthur

 

[samsnee]

You make it sound like it's easy to just make a billion dollar movie.

Maybe he wont have a say in the matter...

With live action Disney remakes it is.

 

[Zant]

With live action Disney remakes it is.

It depends on the remake. Aladdin, Little Mermaid and Lion King remakes are the only clear billion dollar movies.

 

[terry78]

If they do keep him on they are gonna micromange it like a mother****er now.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Disney should drop Ritchie and WB should pick him up for Suicide Squad 2. That seems like exactly the kind of film that suits his current talents.

WB: Hey how can we get a film to get below 9% on RT?

 

[Rowsdower!]

That's a bingo!

I've wanted Naomi Scott for Jasmine from the start

 

[JP]

Actually love the names in that article. Also appreciate how serious they are about the casting. I actually think Riz would make a better Jafar, tho...

 

[chamber-music]

Naomi Scott would make a fine Jasmine. We already know she can sing, dance and act.

Dev Patel can dance. Not sure if he can sing though.

If Aladdin was a rapper then Riz would have it in the bag

 

[terry78]

I'm afraid you've worn out your welcome, Prince Abooboo.

 

[Abudefduf]

Why does this movie have to be a musical again? *Looks at the Beauty and the Beast box-office* Oh.

No seriously though, Jungle Book was wildly successful and it wasn't a musical.

 

[terry78]

It had songs. Shortened versions but they were there.
