maybe they need to release the A Whole New World scene or something to create positive buzz. it's just the two of them sitting on a carpet and singing, how hard could that be to mess up? i'm sure ritchie found a way.

Ritchie is great at making crime thrillers, but I always thought he was a terrible choice for this material.

Disney should just pull a Solo and get Ron Howard to reshoot the whole film, but keep it in that sweet, sweet Disney Memorial Day spot.

Well, there are a couple of Iranians, that I can see... ?  😁

 

I'm not striving for accuracy...quite the opposite.  I'm saying...they could have starred it up a bit, relatively.

Way back when the first HarryHausen Sinbad movie came out...in 1959 (The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad) one critic wrote "One problem is that the leads look are Arabian as Apple Pie".

Why would they do that? They are in the business of franchise movies at this point. Acquired Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, X-Men, & Avatar for that purpose. 

 

Oh I dunno...cause hopefully someone making decisions gives a shit about originality.

You're hoping for too much, lol

I think the problem with genie is that he looks too human (?!) and he looks buff...like he hit the gym a few too many times. and it's just weird. also will smith is doing his big willie schitck. his version of genie is just will smith big willie style. at least from what they've showed thus far

If Disney wants this to not bomb, they should scrap all that Alan Menkin shit and have Big Willie compose all the music

Ofc Disney knows they have a bad product. That's why they've been so shy with genie and other things.

And they have it in the Memorial Day slot which is now more of a "dud" spot than a mega event spot like it was 20 years ago. Pretty crazy how much that has changed in the last 10 years or so.

Not at a major studio in Hollywood in 2018.

I am very unhappy about that, but no use denying reality.

In all honesty, Disney has never been especially interested in being completely original. Most of their successful animated films are adaptations of already existing fairy tales and books. Even The Lion King, despite technically being an original film, takes a lot of inspiration from Hamlet. 

 

With that being said, I’m definitely not a fan of these remakes.
