They desperately want progressive points for this, but there's really no reason not to do that. It's an Arabian story (mostly)

Someone post the hook handed man

>it's a lets make a live action version of all of our old movies so people can't say we're just doing remakes now because we've run out of ideas episode

yaaaaaasss

So which Arabian actors are gonna start getting forced into blockbusters so this movie has star power?

>Live-action Aladdin

So a remake of the Thief of Bagdad? youtube.com/watch?v=TMiF67ggUOM

>Using actors that fit the part is progressive
I guess you guys just love Scarjo as The Major then huh?

That's my point. Casting this way should be obvious, not some epic "progressive" virtue signalling, which is how they're treating.

Yeah, fair point. I agree it shouldn't be a big deal, but I guess that's where we are now.

That's.... actually good.

Emmanuelle Chriqui as Jasmine pls

>medieval european knights played by black men
>Sup Forums goes apeshit
>arabian princes played by arabians
>Sup Forums goes apeshit

But the overall opinion of the people ITT seems to be 'no shit, how is that something special?'

>this is apeshit
It's Arabian nights, nigger. The whole thing is they are calling it "diverse" when the whole cast is one race.

too old

Aladdin better be a qt twink

The characters in Aladdin were never Arab. They were basically white, had white voice actors, had white writers, white animators, white investors, and was watched by fucking WHITE PEOPLE.

Where people expecting any different, this isn't some big revelation.

but they were still arabs. Just look at their skin.

I just wonder who will be cast as jafar and if it will be a white dude.

>white people

Princess Trainer movie when?

So?

I mean it's set in the middle east, makes sense to use Arabs.

As long as Robin Williams is playing Genie I'm in.

> all white cast: not diverse
> all dune coon cast: superdiverse

>the cast will be specifically, purposely, of a single ethnicity

>diverse

I think it's a good idea for a film about Arabic legend to have a cast of Arabians, but for fuck's sake.

Diversity means less white people, dumbass.

Yes, in the context of Hollywood as a whole, a major studio release featuring an Arabic cast is diverse.

>As long as Robin Williams is playing Genie I'm in

the movie is based on one of a huge collection of Middle Eastern stories called 1,001 nights how can you be this stupid

in Hollywood where 99% of employees are whites and jews, yes.

An adaption of a fantasy story made for white people, by white people.

Never once was any referred to as an Arab in the movie.

>Sup Forums goes apeshit

Maybe the imaginary posters in your head, because i'm not seeing anyone going apeshit here.
Pathetic retard.

They're looking for unknowns.

>musical

Who the fuck watch this shit?

No one cares about Aladdin, Jasmine, Jafar or anyone else. They could be any race and it wouldn't matter, because pic related literally carries the movie. Who the hell can replace Robin Williams?

IT'S FUCKING CHINESE!!!!

>cast all one race
>diverse cast

Chinese played by Arabs
Aladdin was never Arabic, Disney is full of shit

Melissa McCarthy

Aladdin is a Chinese Muslim, Disney made it more Arabic when they made the movie because 90s audiences were too stupid

Idris Elba

Sinbad>Aladdin

it's barbaric, but hey, it's home!

>t. Ching Chang Chong

Although Galland heard the tale from an Arabian storyteller, the Aladdin story is firmly set in China (so not the Middle East at all, but the Far East). The tale had nothing to do with the original One Thousand and One Nights tales, and doesn't appear in any of the manuscripts.

tl;dr Aladdin is a gook, dunecoons btfo

When will the live action meme end

>implying people in the middle east still don't do this

liberals really are just shut in retards who know nothing about the world but at also blindly optimistic.

>AGRABAH IS WHIIIIIITTEEE

>legend

1001 nights are kids stories for them

>whites steal story
>make it arab so western audiences can digest it
>generation if idiots think Aladdin is sandnigger kino

they ran out of straight-to-vhs sequel fodder

>how they're treating
How are "they" treating it?

>Look at me. (Laughs) I mean I’m not a typical guy. Listen I’m very fortunate working in Hollywood; I am diverse. So when I came in to make the movie, I wanted to make a diverse version of the movie. Luckily for me Guy Ritchie has the same vision and Disney has the same vision, so we’re not here to make Prince of Persia. We want to make a movie that’s authentic to that world.

All he basically said is that he wants to have a cast that fits the story. Any talk of "progressiveness" has come from the people reporting on this.

Who will they cast as Akabur?

Never once was anyone referred to as white.
