Aladdin is a 2019 American musical fantasy film and a live-action adaptation of Disney's 1992 animated film, itself based on the Middle-Eastern folk tale. Directed by Guy Ritchie and written by Ritchie and John August, the film stars Will Smith, Mena Massoud, Naomi Scott, Marwan Kenzari, Navid Negahban, Nasim Pedrad, and Billy Magnussen. The story follows an Arabian street urchin named Aladdin, who discovers a magic lamp containing a genie, with whose help he disguises himself as a wealthy prince and tries to impress the Sultan of Agrabah to win the heart of his free-spirited daughter, Princess Jasmine, as the Sultan's evil vizier, Jafar, plots to steal the magic lamp.
In October 2016, Disney announced Ritchie would direct a live-action remake of Aladdin. Smith was the first member of the cast to join, signing on to portray Genie in July 2017, and Massoud and Scott were confirmed for the other two lead roles later that month. Principal photography began that September at Longcross Studios in Surrey, England, and ended in January 2018. Filming also took place in the Wadi Rum Desert in Jordan. Additional filming and pick-ups took place in August 2018.
