Subject: Aladdin live-action prequel in pipeline by Disney

Written By: Philip Eno on 07/16/15 at 9:24 am

Disney is planning a live-action prequel to Aladdin, the 1992 animated hit in which the late Robin Williams appeared as the Genie of the Lamp.

The studio is developing Genies, a comedy adventure that will reveal how the genie ended up in the lamp in the first place.

The film is part of a growing roster of animated Disney hits that are being given the live-action treatment.

Jon Favreau's The Jungle Book is released in cinemas next year, with Beauty and the Beast, starring Emma Watson, planned for spring 2017.

Other projects in the planning stage include a Tim Burton-directed Dumbo and new versions of Winnie the Pooh and Pinocchio.

This brings back memoires of watching a stage production of "Aladdin" at Disneyland. The actor that play the genie was so go, it could have easily been Robin Williams.
