Disney has released two new TV spots for director Guy Ritchie’s Aladdin along with a new IMAX poster for the film. The new spots put an emphasize on the importance of self-confidence.
As we get closer to the release of the film, I’ve noticed that more and more fans are a bit more open to the film now and are getting excited to see it. According to early box office estimates, the movie is tracking towards an $80 million-plus debut over Memorial Day weekend, which seems like a decent opening weekend for a Disney movie like this.
Aladdin is the exciting tale of the charming street rat Aladdin, the courageous and self-determined Princess Jasmine and the Genie who may be the key to their future. Directed by Guy Ritchie, who brings his singular flair for fast-paced, visceral action to the fictitious port city of Agrabah, the film is written by John August and Ritchie based on Disney’s Aladdin.
Aladdin stars Mena Massoud as the charming scoundrel Aladdin; Naomi Scott as Jasmine, the beautiful, determined princess; Will Smith as the Genie; Marwan Kenzari as Jafar, the powerful sorcerer; Navid Negahban as the Sultan concerned with his daughter’s future; Nasim Pedrad as Dalia, Princess Jasmine’s free-spirited best friend and confidante; Billy Magnussen as the handsome and arrogant suitor Prince Anders; and Numan Acar as Hakim, Jafar’s right-hand man and captain of the palace guards.
The movie will be released on May 24th, 2019. Are you looking forward to watching Aladdin? What is the main selling point for this film for you? The reason I want to see it is to see what director Ritchie does with it.
