Disney's Aladdin Teaser: First Look At Live-Action Remake

A good news for Disney’s fan: live-action version has come to the Cave of Wonders. Disney has made great successes with live-action retelling of classic animated movies such as The Jungle Book, Cinderella and The beauty and the Beast. Aladdin is the latest in this list and a promising project in the box office next year.

The Aladdin teaser doesn't reveal too much from the forthcoming live-action remake, but we can get a glimpse of a fantastical land in Agrabah, the legendary Cave of Wonders and even a quick look of the titular hero.

The clip opens with vast tracts of the Arabian desert, completely a flat land except for some small caravan in the far distance and a mysterious bird - Jafar's parrot Iago flying over the desert. This is similar to the way the opening of the original movie.

The teaser shifted quickly to the fabled Cave of Wonders as a major focal point. Its entrance appears in the shape of a tiger's mouth which embedded in the side of a mountain.

Interestingly, in this teaser, Jafar's journey is also accompanied by a group of characters. At the end of Aladdin teaser, while Jafar is standing outside the cave, Aladdin is venturing into the Cave of Wonders hiding many valuable treasures to find the Genie lamp.

The Diamond in the Rough

This scene even features Frank Welker as the voice of the Tiger God again. His voice intones when Aladdin disappears in the tiger’s mouth “Only one may enter here… worth lies far within…diamond in the rough.”

The teaser ends up our first glimpse of Massoud’s hand laying on the magical lamp.  Sadly, this shot doesn't show the appearance of Will Smith's Genie in this footage.

The Disney live-action upcoming project is the remake of Aladdin and the Magic Lamp from the book of One Thousand and One Nights.

The 2019 fantasy film directed by Guy Ritchie will cast Will Smith as the Genie and Naomi Scott as Princess Jasmine. It stars Mena Massoud as the hero and Marwan Kenzari in the main role of Jafar.

The soundtrack starts with strains of Arabian Nights, before powering into Friend Like Me.

Aladdin hits theaters May 24, 2019.
