It's Will Smith. He can't play a character that isn't Will Smith.

The chick playing Jasmine is the chick who played the Pink Ranger in the new Power Rangers movie?

How are they going to contain that ass?

Will Smith is going to be an awesome genie. He can sing, he can dance, and he can act. He is perfect for this role.


I think he'd be good

Sinbad shoulda been it


Sinbad was a terrible genie in Shazaam

If I ever do see this movie I wont make the mistake of going into it expecting Robin Williams. The character is a blank canvas in a sense. Every actor can and would play it similarly but with their own twist. If Smith went in trying to redo what Williams did it would be terrible. He has the charisma and screen presence to play an entertaining version of the character.

Let's talk about the real crime. Jasmine's midriff is covered up.

Truth.

that link...
Of course, this Genie is very different than the one that fans fell in love with back in the '90s, but that's okay. Director Guy Ritchie was well aware that he could never recreate the magic of Robin Williams, so he decided to go in a completely different direction.


Seems honestly sensible tbh.

No, the genie in that one movie was blue. Not every genie in every work of fiction has been blue. If they had just made a blue cgi genie everyone would be saying itll never be as good as the Robin Williams genie, though! This way Willard can really try to do his own thing

Jasmine is hot. There is a severe lack of midriff, but she's still very easy on the eyes. That's what matters most.

Smith's Genie doesn't bother me. He looks ridiculous, but I'd already lost interest in this movie when they gave Jasmine a white fiancee. I don't need a designated character to identify with; especially when his only purpose is to lose the girl to the protagonist. Aladdin's one of the most relatable characters in any Disney movie. I'm not going to have Hollywood turn it into a race issue and tell me that I'm to identify with some cuckolded prince instead of the hero.

I'm fine with this and the directors rationale makes perfect sense. If they tired to CGI him as a big blue guy again they'd inevitably attacked for "not as good as Robin Williams version" and people would shit all over the film and never give it a chance. And the Disney version from the 90s is only ONE version of the story, albeit the most popular version probably.

I find it amusing - amusing indeed, people saying if they had used CG then there would be some mass outcry. Meanwhile, the new Lion King trailer is out and it's overwhelmingly positive. People are even saying it's shaping up to be better than the original. So I'll toss out a mini-LOL due to that flawed, anti-CG logic. Hohoho...

It's almost like there's a fundamental difference in a movie "starring" talking animals and a movie starring real people.

Anyways since they were "okay" with either people of Arab or Indian descent (hence why Naomi Scott is Jasmine), I still don't understand how they didn't go with Avan Jogia for Aladdin.

I mean look at this dude's Wiki pic

that's fucking Aladdin
