DISNEY TO MAKE' GENIES'
LIVE ACTION 'ALADDIN' PREQUEL
The news of the day is that Disney is preparing ALADDIN prequel movie titled GENIES in order to set the ground for the live action ALADDIN movie which would happen after GENIES. While ALADDIN was an adaptation of ancient Arabic folk tale about a lowly street kid who finds a magical lamp with a wish granting genie the prequel GENIES would be set in the world of those magical creatures, describing how Aladdin's genie ended up in the magical lamp. As I've reported before BEAUTY AND THE BEAST and MULAN are also getting live action versions!

DAZZLING NEW 'PAN' TRAILER
HUGH JACKMAN IS BLACKBEARD
A gorgeous new trailer for you today from upcoming adventure movie PAN filled with mermaids and fairies. Opening this October it will follow mischievous Peter (Levi Miller) who is whisked away from the orphanage and spirited off to a fantastical world of pirates and fairies called Neverland. There, he finds amazing adventures and fights battles while trying to uncover the secret of his mother, who left him at the orphanage so long ago, and his rightful place in this magical land. Teamed with the warrior Tiger Lily (Rooney Mara) and a new friend named James Hook (Garrett Hedlund), Peter must defeat the ruthless pirate Blackbeard (Hugh Jackman) to save Neverland and discover his true destiny - to become the hero who will forever be known as Peter Pan!
Not too sure about the Aladdin prequel.
ReplyDeleteHow do we know that Tesla and Lovecraft didn't time travel? ;-)
we do not. I'm almost sure Tesla did :) He was such a great scientist that we've named everything after him here in his homecountry ;)
DeleteTesla is so hot right now! He's finally getting the pop culture fame he deserves!
ReplyDeleteI'm just not sure he would want it :) He was a very famous recluse
DeletePan does look pretty cool, I hope it doesn't flop critically
ReplyDeleteit really looks extremely pretty
DeleteWhich one would you recommend?
ReplyDeleteI love me EMPIRE a lot... although I didn't expect I would..... And PAN too, eventhough I've never been a fan of PETER's
DeleteSo you were surprised... I love it when that happens.
Deleteit happened like this: I finished watching AMERICA GOT TALENT and sat in front of my computer to work forgetting to switch the channel on the telly... when EMPIRE started it immediatelly drew me in with the opening music... so I turned around and never went back to the computer that evening.... Cookie Lyon is one of the best TV characters that have appeared on the telly in last ten years
DeletePan could be good.
ReplyDeletepossibly the best so far
DeletePan looks like all sorts of fun. I stopped by yesterday a.m. before the post got flipped to Wed and forgot to come back:(
ReplyDeleteI do flip them so that they would invade tops of blogging charts :)
DeleteI don't know about Genies. I feel kind of sad that Robin Williams won't have a part of it. He was the ultimate Disney Genie!
ReplyDeleteand so many other of the ultimate characters in Hollywood :(
DeleteI love the prequel idea!!! I can't wait for beauty and the beast. ;)
ReplyDeleteI will probably skip that one because I cannot stand that talentless brat in the lead role....
DeleteI am super excited about the Aladdin, prequel...will wait for it big time!!!
ReplyDeleteI am also excited about Empire, yet to start watching the series! :-)
I think you might like EMPIRE, I enjoyed the first season, it was quick, exciting and dynamic
DeleteI really want to see Pan.
ReplyDeleteI've heard amazing things about Empire. When I have time I'll probably catch all the shows I'm missing on Amazon. That's what usually happens.
I thought I'd never watch it, it just isn't my genre, but I accidentally caught the first episode and couldn't stop after that... it is written in the twisty, soapy, exciting manner of the 80's dramas and wonderfully acted
