Disney wants Will Smith as the genie. http://variety.com/20

Wait, why does Genie need a new voice actor, what's coming out?

Why not just hire Robin Williams?

He's not doing anything these days.

>>91690325

Probably for KH 3 assuming it ever actually releases.

It's for the live action remake you fucking morons.

>>91690325
The Live Action reboot of Aladdin, you gotta read the link mate.

I would actually like to see Will play Genie, could be interesting.

>>91690202
They're making another Dumbo and Will Smith is going to be in it? Is he going to be one of the crows?

>>91690325
Disney started a new trend of using their old animated movies as creative ammo their live-action offerings.

I can't wait until 2027 when we have a "live-action" Zootopia. They're already making a "Live-Action" Lion King which is just going to be animated CGI lions on top of real footage of the savannah.

Will Smith

>Disney wants Will Smith as the genie.

..why?

>>91690202
>What is Disney's affinity for wanting to cast Will Smith in something? Dumbo, now this.
Who's he voicing in Dumbo? One of the Jim Crows?

>>91690397
He passed on the chance to work on Bad Boys 3.

Tim Burton is directing it. So far, Colin Farrell, Michael Keaton, Danny DeVito, and the lady from Miss Peregrine are in it.

>>91690636
The last sentence was about Dumbo not Bad Boys 3. I'm sleepy.

>>91690427
Is Disney just completely out of ideas for anything now? Maybe they should just make one final movie with nothing but fanservice and close.

They've still been making "original" stuff like Moana and the upcoming Gigantic, films based on classic tales and myths like they've always done, so they're not running completely out of steam. That new Wreck-It Ralph that takes place on the Internet is probably gonna be shit, though.

>>91690956

Well, the game is okay, so the movie must be amazing.

>>91690879
Disney is doing live-actions of The Lion King, Aladdin, Dumbo, Mulan, The Little Mermaid, Snow White, Prince Charming, Robin Hood, Tinkerbell, Winnie the Pooh and Night on Bald Mountain.

Plus Rose Red, Enchanted 2 and Happy Ever After.

He's in everything already. Will Smith is a good pick and they could just make Will his voice and have the model in-movie be a CGI version of the original Genie since the character is comic relief and doesn't have to obey any laws of reality so he can look however he likes.

You know, you can cast Terry Crews in just about anything and it works. Even for this.

I don't see a problem with Will Smith Genie. I do see a problem with the live action remakes in general though.

If they must, T. J. Miller might be a better way to go.

>>91696242
I disagree I hated Carlie. It felt so disconnected and none of the characters felt possible. Like how could you get to that point of being terrible possible. And Charlie himself was perfect, which missed the point of the OG. Charlie was still a little shit like the others but did the right then when the time came, which is why Wonka gave him the factory. Not just because "he won and I'm old"

>>91696514
Yeah, why make a story about a chocolate factory feel like a fairytle? It should be grounded in reality and gritty.

>>91692281
>Zootopia 2
To be fair, Zootopia has enough potential within the world itself that the sequel has the very real chance of being fucking fantastic.

Whoa... Maybe they'll do a buddy cop sequel with talking animals.

>>91696514
>Not just because "he won and I'm old"
That's how it happened in the book, though (at least on the surface, in reality Wonka was just looking for someone who was a lot like him).

Personally I didn't care for the movie because I've never been a huge fan of "kids book but DAAAAAAAAARK", and I REALLY detested Depp's portrayal of Wonka. Willy Wonka is supposed to toe the lines between kooky old inventor, overgrown child and whimsical fairy, to which Depp jettisons straight into overgrown child territory. In the books, Willy Wonka might not have all the answers but at the very least he knows his own damn factory and actually gave a shit about the eventual fate of it, Depp's Wonka seemed more like a retarded kid who needed the Oompa Loompas to run everything because he didn't have a goddamn clue about how anything worked.

I'm sick of faggots like you acting like making a live action movie of a cartoon likely just as old as you are is blasphemous.

>>91690663
And this is another fucking dweeb. No story is original. Why would they close? You don't have to like the company to know that's the single most purely autistic thing that will be posted on all of 4chan today.

You're on FUCKING /CO/! TWO ENTIRE MEDIUMS BASED COMPLETELY ON STEALING OLD IDEAS!

How anyone can say "is all the originality gone" is beyond me. It's the most disingenuous fucking question ever. There's like 7 possible stories someone can tell and they were told a millennia ago.

A live action Lion King is no different from any other live action (protracted, really decimated) hero's journey flick.

It's Disney's live-action films division that's creatively bankrupt. Everything else (Disney animation, Pixar, Lucasfilm, Marvel, etc.) is doing just fine.

Unfortunately, a lot of people are enabling the creative bankruptcy of live-action Disney remakes by paying money to watch them. They need to stop doing that.

Fuck sake just get the guy from the stage show in New York to do it.

Will Smith in 2018/9 won't make any noticeable bump in what the movie makes. The draw will be "hey it's that cartoon you loved but with real people".

>>91697099
But Tim Burton's not what I think of for that shit. I just think he's gonna go all black and white, goth shit all over.

Only way I would be ok with Will Smith playing the part would be if he put on a few pounds for the role. Will is currently way to skinny to play the genie.

That said new online images are showing that Will Smith is slowly morphing into Uncle Phil so there may still be some hope that he will at least look the part.

That wasn't the context of that particular thread. It's being remade no matter who the director is. I was simply stating that it seems pretty odd to think Tim Burton couldn't put together a pretty decent pink elephant parade.

I really fucking hope Dwayne Johnson's Jungle Cruise movie does well enough that they start going back to making theme park movies again on a regular basis.

Disney's Aladdin was inspired by a lot of old movies including The Thief of Bagdad, where the genie was played by a black man.
