Awesome. I wasn't familiar with the movie based on the name, but after watching the trailer I looked it up and I had previously ready this description for the concept:
"What if a child from another world crash-landed on Earth, but instead of becoming a hero to mankind, he proved to be something far more sinister?"
Not sure if relevant, but thought I'd cross post from the Comic Book thread
Not sure if this was posted, and will likely get lost in the Captain Marvel hoopla, but I just saw this on YT, and it looks amazing. I'm a huge manga/anime geek, so this tickles me in all the right places.
Eh, not sure what to make of this. Almost looks like a scene for scene re-shoot with lesser actors. I would have preferred a bit more "re-imagining". I've already seen this movie.

Let's revisit this scene-for-scene-reshoot complaint when "Never Had a Friend Like Me" is performed as a rap.

Personally I want this movie to be 70% remake and 30% new take.
But the part that I want to be a new take is the Genie performance. Personally I don't want Will Smith trying to do his best Robin Williams impression because IMO that would ruin it. That was a classic and that performance should just be left alone.
It's kind of how the Aladdin Broadway performances are and really that's probably more of what to expect from this movie than what the original cartoon was like.
The broadway performances usually update some of the pop culture references that the Genie made, and take a bit of a different tone compared to how Robin Williams performed the role - and that's what they should do for the movie.

I don't know. I like the idea of a very faithful remake (why mess with perfection) but on the other hand, it is clearly, IMO, missing that spark/magic that made the original so amazing. Hard to put my finger on it.
Is there a reason he is blue in some scenes, and not in others?
In some parts of the movie (animated and this one apparently) the Genie makes himself look like a human so he can be around humans without them knowing he's a Genie.

I think if Robin Williams was alive and willing to play the Genie for this then you could go for the straight re-make angle.
Think it'd be too tough to do without him reprising that role though.
I think it's Jafar. If they needed someone with some gravitas for any role, it was that. From the limited viewing, it seems the menace in his voice just isn't there.
Didnt they basically have to beg him to do it in the first place? I recall him having a very, very strained relationship with Disney.
I believe so. They had to minimize the advertising they did with him and they aren’t allowed to use any material that was cut from the original recordings for 25 (?) years after his death.
He was mad that they used his voice is merchandising for some toys after the original and didn’t appear in Aladdin 2 but they mended the relationship and he came back to do the third Aladdin.
Him and Disney fell out again after Bicentennial Man since he felt they failed to support the movie but they seemed to be on good terms before his death when as he agreed to be inducted to the Disney Hall of Fame
