They say a picture is worth a thousand words. And when it comes to Aladdin, most of those words are rather mean ones. That was the situation when Disney unveiled the first look at director Guy Ritchie’s upcoming live-action adaptation of beloved animated classic Aladdin and fans were the ones feeling blue at what they saw as Will Smith’s Genie was revealed to look all too normal. Well, normal for a human with really dumb hair.
Of
Aladdin is the exciting tale of the charming street rat Aladdin, the courageous and self-determined Princess Jasmine and the Genie who may be the key to their future. Directed by Guy Ritchie, who brings his singular flair for fast-paced, visceral action to the fictitious port city of Agrabah, the film is written by John August and Ritchie based on Disney’s Aladdin.
Holy crap, that is the stuff nightmares! I wish for it get out of my brain! I’m now actually hoping that Will Smurf (as Trevor has affectionately dubbed him) stays in his human form instead for most of the movie. And even if you’re not freaked out as much as I am by that seriously dodgy CGI giving you a case of intense uncanny valley horror, there’s just no way that you can’t unsee this:
Also, is it just me or does Marwan Kenzari’s Jafar just not sound anywhere remotely near
Aladdin also stars Naomi Scott, Navid Negahban, Nasim Pedrad, Billy Magnussen, and Numan Acar. It is scheduled for release 24 May 2019.

The question I ask though is why is this so scary to look at. I mean, Mr. Smith ain’t an ugly chap, but man, a cow’s rear end looks better than him as a genie. Maybe we are too used to picturing the original genie in the animated movie/series. Plus, the genie was Robin Williams for Pete’s sake. How can Will even hope to match him in a verbal context.

Waiting for the crazies to start boycotting the movie cause of blue-face.
Actually on that note I might just avoid this because of the whole blue body. Something isn’t right there and I don’t want to rewatch the trailer to figure out what it is.

It’s like Dave Bautista and Will Smith did a Fusion dance.

If it’s too similar, “ooooh they’re just cashing in without any effort.”
If it’s a VERY different take/interpretation, “ooooh how nasty! I’m not watching because it doesn’t look simliar to the original.”
