I love Aladdin so much. Probably because it had Robin Williams in it. Probably because it was one of my oldest son’s favorite movie when he was younger. I love it even more know that I know more about who’s in it. Check out who’s in Aladdin below.

Aladdin flies in with it’s new cast!

I am very excited to share the news that casting for ALADDIN, the live-action adaptation of the studio’s animated classic, is complete and production is currently underway at Longcross Studios outside London.

“Aladdin” is directed by Guy Ritchie (“Sherlock Holmes,” “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.”) from a screenplay by John August (“Dark Shadows,” “Big Fish”) based on the 1992 animated film “Aladdin” and stories from “One Thousand and One Nights.” The producer is Dan Lin (“The LEGO Movie”) with Golden Globe® winner Marc Platt (“La La Land”), Jonathan Eirich (“Deathnote“) and Kevin De La Noy (“The Dark Knight Rises”) serving as executive producers.
