Disney’s Live Action Aladdin poised for a sequel
In an interview with Comic Book, Producer Dan Lin said the positive reactions by fans are indications the public might want more of the narrative. Disney is considering moving ahead with a follow-up to the film.
“We have now. We certainly when we first made the movie wanted to just make the best movie we could and let audiences tell us if they wanted to see more. And I would say resoundingly audiences want to see more. They’ve watched this movie multiple times. We have lots of fan letters about people who really go back and they bring their friends and bring their family. And so we feel like there’s more story to tell. We are going to treat it the same way we treat the original Aladdin movie and not going to do a shot by shot remake of anything that’s been done before. We’re really looking at what’s been done before in the past and the home video, and there’s just more story to tell with the underlying materials. So without giving away too much, we are certainly exploring where we can go with this franchise.”
The live action version of the classic Disney movie was directed by Guy Ritchie. It grossed over $1 billion dollars in the global box office, becoming the fifth highest grossing film of 2019.
