In October 2016, it was reported that Disney was developing a live action remake of "Aladdin" with Guy Ritchie in talks to direct the film.

Film production was supposed to begin in July 2017, but it has been delayed to August due to difficulties in finding suitable actors to play the leads, Aladdin and Jasmine, as the actors are required to sing, dance and act.
