Your wish is granted. The teaser trailer for the live-action Aladdin, starring Will Smith as the Genie, has arrived.
We’re in a whole new world now.
ALADDIN is the exciting tale of a charming street rat Aladdin, a courageous and self-determined Princess Jasmine and a Genie who may be the key to their future.
I was hoping this trailer would give us a glimpse of the Genie. We all know that Robin Williams had put so much of his personality into being the Genie. I am curious to see how Will Smith will live up to that personality. We don’t yet get a look at the Genie, instead the trailer gives us a good idea of what Guy Ritchie’s Agrabah and Cave of Wonders will look like.

Official Synopsis:
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 Will Smith as the larger-than-life Genie; Mena Massoud as the charming scoundrel Aladdin; Naomi Scott as Jasmine, the beautiful, self-determined princess; 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 film is produced by Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich with Marc Platt and Kevin De La Noy serving as executive producers. Alan Menken provides the score, which includes new recordings of the original songs written by Menken and lyricists Howard Ashman and Tim Rice and two new songs written by Menken and songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.
The film, which was shot on practical stages in London and on location amidst the stunning desert vistas of Jordan, has a talented creative team helping to bring Agrabah to life, including: director of photography Alan Stewart, production designer Gemma Jackson and costume designer Michael Wilkinson.
