Disney’s live action film “Aladdin” is getting a sequel with writers John Gatins and Andrea Berloff.
According to sources, the movie is in early development, but after spending the last six months figuring out what direction to take the next film, producers look to have found their path, reports variety.com.
Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich, who produced the original, are back producing through their Rideback banner, with Ryan Halprin executive producing.
It’s unknown at this time whether director Guy Ritchie will return. Producers hope to bring back stars Will Smith, Mena Massoud and Naomi Scott, but offers won’t be extended to the cast until a script is ready.
The film will be a theatrical release, not a Disney Plus title. The original animated movie had two straight-to-video sequels, but sources say this new take is completely original and not based on those ideas.
Last year, Disney’s live action film brought back nostalgia, weaving a success story with the thrilling and vibrant adaptation of the loved animated classic movie, which took the world by storm in 1992. (IANS)
