Disney this week released the first movie poster and a teaser trailer for their upcoming live action Aladdin movie.
The trailer lives up to the definition of teaser big time, as it shows a few a aerial shots followed by a shot of Aladdin entering the cave. The trailer ends with Aladdin about to pick up the magic lamp.
While the trailer doesn’t show much, it is a teaser trailer and I can’t wait for a full trailer of it.
The movie is set for release on May 24, 2019 and stars Will Smith as The Genie, Mena Massoud as the title character, Naomi Scott as Jasmine, Marwan Kenzari as Jafar, Navid Negahban as the Sultan, Nasim Pedrad as Dalia, Billy Magnussen as Prince Anders, and Numan Acar as Hakim. Guy Ritchie directed the movie with screenplay duties being handled by both Ritchie and John August, music for the movie is being handled by Disney veteran Alan Menken.
