Guy Ritchie, the stylistic director behind the Robert Downey Jr-starring Sherlock Holmes movies, is in negotiations to helm Disney’s live-action adaptation of its 1992 animated classic Aladdin.

Dan Lin, who was a producer on the Holmes movies for Warner Bros., is producing what Disney touts will be an ambitious and non-traditional take on Aladdin via his Lin Pictures banner. Jonathan Eirich will executive produce the movie and oversee it for Lin Pictures.

What a weird choice. It's like Tarantino being chosen to direct a Muppet movie. Could be good, though.

I swear to Christ if they cast her as Genie I am going to dig Robin Williams up, reanimate him and have him take the shovel to the head of all those responsible.

Jamie Costa should be Genie. He looks and sounds EXACTLY like Robin Williams.

To honor the life of Robin Williams, and to avoid the piece of shite performance of whoever they're going to try to plug into the Genie, they need to leave this one alone.
