#Aladdin Live Action Movie To Be Directed By Guy Ritchie

By
That Disney would plan a live-action spin on 1992 'toon Aladdin came as no great surprise, since the Mouse House has been slowly working on drawing from its animated back catalog for new versions. But the man in talks to direct might raise a few eyebrows: Guy Ritchie.

When it was first reported, the plan for Aladdin was to focus first on a prequel explaining how the chatty powerful genie (famously voiced by Robin Williams) got into the lamp in the first place. That script had Damien Shannon and Mark Swift at work on it, but Deadline's update of the movie's status mentions Big Fish writer John August as responsible for the current draft, so it may have crept closer to being a straightforward re-working of the main Aladdin tale.

Ritchie seems an unusual choice for the material, though he's dabbled in magic and mystery with the Sherlock Holmes films and his latest, King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword, is more of an adventure tale, so perhaps he's trying to stretch himself.

Naked Gun Reboot On It's Way

By
If you've seen Naked Gun - or The Naked Gun: From The Files Of Police Squad ! to give its full title - you'll know that it's a comedic masterpiece that springboards off astonishing levels of silliness and random spoofery. Leslie Nielsen's Frank Drebin is a loveable buffoon for the ages, even when he's discussing his dicky prostrate. Do not, however, expect the Ed Helms -starring reboot to adopt exactly the same tack. According to Naked Gun director/co-writer David Zucker, talking up Airplane!'s screening at Nashville's Wild West Comedy Festival, the new version will not attempt to hit the same spoofy sweet spot as the Zuckers and Jim Abrahams' 1988 comedy. "It won’t be like the Naked Gun that I did," Zucker revealed. "It may be good, but it won’t be that kind of movie. They’re going to use the title. They asked me if I wanted to produce. They’re nice people, but they don’t want to do that style of spoof that I do." One departure...
