After Casting Problems, Disney Reveals Aladdin's Main Actors

I'm waiting for that one person who is somehow going to try to twist this up and claim it to somehow be an "SJW" thing for them to cast a nonwhite in the main role. I know. It sounds ridiculous. But the anti-SJW crowd has grown to be as twisted and regressive as the SJW crowd they oppose in the first place. Nothing would surprise me right now.

Mena was one of my lead in my second short film, Final Exam, which I just finished a couple of months ago. I am very proud of him. This guys works frigging hard and deserves all the success he can get.

Let's be honest here. I'm not going to be seeing this anyways

will smith has got big shoes to fill. i am doubtful he will come anything close to williams but we shall have to see.

haha! The genie is gonna "get jiggy wit it"

I'm terrified about a possible Lion King remake, I'm still to devastated to see it again.

we wuz kangz

Meh. It seems like another remake of a movie that doesn't need to be remade. Pass.

They should have gone with The Little Mermaid. Alladin is a good cartoon but as a film it will probably be shit. TLM would have been really magical for the kids. Hopefully they do that one next.

This is what I call the lazy part of Disney. Is there any reason to be upset about this? No. Disney will keep making live-action movies because they make money. If one of them ends up bombing, then Disney might start changing their minds about making them, But however you might feel about Disney, their company does more good than bad. They do have some agendas though.

How does Ritchie keep getting work?

Smith can't live up to Robin's performance. No one can.

Interesting note, people should remember that Will Smith's girlfriend in Independence Day, Vivica Fox, was named Jasmine...

I like will Smith but he's a bit old can he even pull off the role with the same energy as Robin Williams. I dunno I'll wait to see his costume. Honestly Chris Tucker might have the energy we're looking for even with his higher pitched voice atleast I hope he still got it he went MIA in the movie biz ages ago.
