EXCLUSIVE: Will Smith is in talks to take on the genie role made famous by the late Robin Williams in Disney’s live-action Aladdin from Guy Ritchie, we hear

Like Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin will be a live-action musical and that would fit well with Smith who is not only an actor but was known to the world for his musical prowess as The Fresh Prince rapper before he hit the little or big screen. The production is gearing up for a long, six-month shoot, so that is one consideration. It is supposed to start in the U.K. in July and wrap early next year.

terrible choice. Eddie Murphy on te other hand would be a good choice.

Eddie has that power and pizzazz that Robin Williams gave to the Genie. Will smith simply doesnt have that.

Wouldn't this be a bad thing since Genie is considered a slave to his master??.. He even says it in the original movie

If Disney has to keep doing these stupid, greedy, unnecessary remakes, he's a really good choice for that role.

Disney couldn't make a better choice than The Fresh Prince

He would be a better choice but I don't think there is anyone out there that could replicate Robin Williams in that role.

Maybe Jim Carrey if it was 1997 and not 2017

This movie was never really special for me, so I'll just sit back and be amused by how much it sucks and be glad that Will Smith didn't get his suckness on anything I do enjoy, like the Matrix.
