Are You Ready for Disney's Live-Action 'Aladdin' Prequel About Genies?
Disney has been taking a novel approach to the pervasive reboot/remake culture lately by making live-action versions built around its classic stories and characters. Among others, we've had Maleficent, Alice in Wonderland and Cinderella in the last few years. Dumbo, Beauty and the Beast, Mulan, Winnie the Pooh and The Jungle Book are all on the way.
Today we can add Aladdin to the list. The 1992 film made $504 million worldwide and became a Broadway musical in 2011 (pictured above). Now the tale's getting a live-action prequel titled Genies, The Hollywood Reporter reveals. "Although Genies is only in the early stages of development, the long-term plan is to have the project lead into an Aladdin live-action movie," THR writes.
