According to the John Campea Movie Vlog, it's looking like Will Smith will be filling the impossible to fill shoes of the Genie in Guy Ritchie's upcoming live action remake of Disney's Aladdin. Starting on schedule to film this month might pose a problem though, considering they can't find their leads. Specifically, with Jasmine at least having some names in the works, it seems they're really having a hard time with locking down an Aladdin. Naomi Scott (Power Rangers) leads the narrow list for the role of Jasmine. Yet the real problem is, with over 2,000 people auditioned, an Aladdin is still nowhere in sight. Production has been pushed back to August, while Disney has even started to consider abandoning the getting an unknown. I hope not, I don't mind Naomi Scott in Power Rangers. She's a rather fresh face as is. I really liked the idea of a total unknown for Aladdin though. It worked wonders for Moana. What do y'all think? Should Disney abandon the search for an unknown or keep trying? Let me know in the comments, like, & share.
