15 Live-Action Remakes Disney Are Currently Developing
2. Genies
The Original: Aladdin was based on the Arab-style folktale of Aladdin And The Magic Lamp from One Thousand And One Nights, telling the story of a street urchin who finds a lamp that unleashes a Genie who grants him three wishes. The breakout star was that genie, voiced by Robin Williams. The Planned Remake: Genies will be a prequel to the original animation, currently being written by Damian Shannon and Mark Swift. According to sources, the prequel will explore the realm of the Genies and explain how Williams' version became trapped inside the lamp. It has also been suggested that this live-action movie will pave the way for a franchise and lead-up to a live-action retelling of Aladdin in the coming years.
