Another day, another trailer for Disney's
Aladdin. The House of Mouse has been ramping up marketing for Guy Ritchie's live-action adaptation of the beloved 1992 animated classic, pumping out new TV spots almost daily.
While many of them used recycled footage, this new one offers a few new snippets as it puts the spotlight on Dalia. Played by Nasim Pedrad, Dalia, a new character in this version of the story, is Princess Jasmine's best friend and trusted confidant. She's likely just a supporting character, but it'll be interesting to see what she brings to the table.
Guy Ritchie's adaptation looks to follow the animated film quite closely in terms of plot and progression, though the actors and actresses — especially Will Smith as the Genie — have sought to take their own creative liberties with classic characters. Seeing these beloved characters brought to life on the big screen by real actors and actresses in a thrilling and vibrant recreation will be quite the spectacle.
A thrilling and vibrant live-action adaptation of Disney’s animated classic, “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, “Aladdin” is written by John August and Ritchie based on Disney’s “Aladdin.” The film stars Will Smith as the Genie; Mena Massoud as Aladdin; Naomi Scott as Jasmine; Marwan Kenzari as Jafar; Navid Negahban as the Sultan; Nasim Pedrad as Dalia and Billy Magnussen as Prince Anders.
Aladdin arrives in theaters on May 24.
