‘Aladdin’ director Guy Ritchie

That sounds wrong.

[–]Mission-Two1325 199 points200 points  (12 children)

What he needs to do is stop bullshitting and finish The RocknRolla and Sherlock Holmes 3

[–]The_Knight_Is_Dark 88 points89 points  (7 children)

I was going to say "Don't forget Man from UNCLE", then remembered Armie Hammer...

[–]angusthermopylae 31 points32 points  (5 children)

just recast the part

[–]King_Buliwyf 62 points63 points  (2 children)

Yeah, just get the dude who played the other Winklevoss, obviously.

[–]HiggsPerc552 7 points8 points  (1 child)

I think his name is Hammie Armor

[–]Metfan722 11 points12 points  (1 child)

For some reason Ryan Gossling strikes me as a look alike. If he can pull off a Boris & Natasha Russian accent, I'd say go with him.

[–]bongo1138 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, ya know, he hasn’t actually eaten anybody…

Yet.

    [–]mikeyfreshh 8 points9 points  (0 children)

    I did too but I wasn't sure if that was a hot take or not

    [–]sjfiuauqadfj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    wrath of man was weird for me because it had a very similar plot to a movie called the limey

        If Phil is not played by Dani Devito it ain't shit.

        [–]RobertoHAHA 191 points192 points  (8 children)

        Specifically, I want it to just be Dani in a cheap satyr onesie. The rest of the movie should have breathtaking costumes and scenery, but Phil should just be Dani Davito in a Satyr onesie that looks like it was bought from a Halloween store on the wrong side of town.

        [–]Werfgh 16 points17 points  (0 children)

        He already is 50% Phil. Cheap costume will give him 25% more. 75% of the character is better than most of the movie castings

        [–]dummypod 4 points5 points  (1 child)

        You know they're gonna pull some magic shenanigans and Phil would have normal legs to hide his satyr ones, just to save on CGI

        [–]mcbaindk 92 points93 points  (4 children)

        I watched his episode of the "Star talks about their greatest movies" and he doesn't remember Hercules very well, even singing for it.

        It made me sad since I cherish it so much but I mean, yeah - it's just a paycheck.

        [–]ViperT24 15 points16 points  (3 children)

        Tbf, doing voiceover work prolly isn’t that memorable unless it’s a long running series. Sitting in a booth and reading lines a quarter century ago wouldn’t stand out much in my mind either.

        [–]ScorpionX-123 6 points7 points  (2 children)

        it did for James Woods; he's gone on record saying Hades has been his absolute favorite role to play

        [–]Guuple 1 point2 points  (1 child)

        Woods has also reprised his role of Hades multiple times since the film. He did all the appearances in the show and multiple games. Outside of the movie tie-in game, Devito hasn't portrayed his character since the 90s.

        [–]RTepps 18 points19 points  (2 children)

        Let's be honest they're definitely gonna go with Kevin Hart.

        [–]Tiger_jay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

        :( true

        [–]hyrulae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

        He’s not an ideal choice but I’d gladly take Kevin Hart over James Corden tbf

        [–]WordsAreSomething 38 points39 points  (30 children)

        Is there any other person you'd consider. I was trying to think of who I would consider a modern Danny Devito and the only name that came to mind was like Will Forte but that feels like a bad answer

        [–]Locke108 67 points68 points  (5 children)

        Charlie Day but like with Colin Farrell Penguin makeup.

        [–]TheBoredDraftsman 32 points33 points  (4 children)

        I think Charlie Day could channel the power of Danny Devito

              Kind of crazy to think he’s still doing Frank, tbh.

              [–]pedule_pupus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

              Maybe a hot take, but if the movie isn’t too slapstick I’d love to see them trade Phil for a far more interesting Chiron.

              [–]BenignEgoist 3 points4 points  (3 children)

              I’m gonna go with James Woods reprising Hades to be an excellent live action-casting as well.

              [–]CooperFlannigan 2 points3 points  (1 child)

              It's the role he was born for. By all accounts he's a pretty terrible person, and I can't think of another movie I've enjoyed him in, but there's literally no one else on the planet I could imagine playing Hades but him.

                  I wonder if they will add a homosexual kiss to this new movie…

                  [–]finsareluminous 127 points128 points  (9 children)

                  I mean, if there was ever a source material ripe for diversity it's the greek mythology. No one can complain about non-whites and homosexuals characters being inaccurate.

                  If anything, it probably wouldn't be nearly gay enough for historical accuracy.

                  yea when europeans were doing the renaissance and translating greek and roman text, a lot of the scholars, who were monks, deliberately censored the gay and naughty shit because they were prudes lol

                  [–]HomeIsElsweyr 9 points10 points  (4 children)

                  Since when are the greeks not white?

                  [–]finsareluminous 30 points31 points  (1 child)

                  The greek themselves were generally "white" (though probably not Scandinavian-white), but they were seafaring people and had close ties with other cultures and ethnicities in Asia and Africa. Their myths are filled with foreigners and greeks with mixed ancestry.

                  So while there are characters specifically described as blondes, black and brown characters would not be out of place either.

                  [–]Ccaves0127 1 point2 points  (1 child)

                  Jason Mantzoukas is 100% Greek but I don't think most people would look at him and say "Yeah that guy's white."

                    Just your friendly reminder that according to Greek myth Heracles regularly banged dudes, including his nephew Iolaus, who basically traveled the world with him. Kevin Sorbo in shambles.

                    [–]8dy0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

                    Apparently shambles used to mean slaughterhouse.

                    [–]ImmortalCam 14 points15 points  (10 children)

                    Ancient Greece is the gayest culture of all time. So it's actually the perfect place for that.

                        Considering the Russos are producing, there is a higher than average chance Chris Evans will be Hercules. Or Ritchie might get one of his british guys.

                                  I enjoyed Ritchie’s Aladdin and while I’d much rather get a live action version of Atlantis or Treasure Planet at this point (cliche answers, yes), but it feels like Hercules, despite being great, doesn’t get the same treatment and respect that some of the other 90’s Disney movies get.

                                  If this is good, then great, maybe it means they’ll finally add Greece to Epcot and give Hercules an attraction.

                                  same sentiments though to the commenter that doesn’t want Chris Pratt. Please no, dude is great as Star-Lord, but he doesn’t need to be in everything.

                                  The Dwayne Johnson Hercules is absolutely terrible. We definitely need a better, modern version out there.

                                    The Russo brothers are producing this. Highly likely that it's gonna be Chris Evans as hercules.

                                        I don't know why you would hire Guy Ritchie and not have him go full Guy Ritchie. It was so lame.

                                        I feel they just wanted a big name attached for marketing purposes.

                                        They don't need to reproduce these movies scene by scene for them to be good, for live action you probably should restructure the movie a bit for it to work but Disney seems creatively bankrupt with these remakes.

                                        Aladdin is enough marketing. The target market could give a shit who’s directing.

                                          At least compared to the other live action remakes recently it was one of the better ones imo.

                                          Yeah I think it was superior to the live adaptations of Mulan, Lion King, and most of the Disney princess movies but I remember being bored out of my mind watching it.

                                          Lacks a lot of the magic of the old one, I think it's probably possible to make good live action versions of Disney properties but they seem to creatively aim really low when reproducing them.

                                          I think their take on Genie was actually pretty good. Referring to him as this all powerful cosmic force and such. Idk. I thought it was pretty cool.

                                          Will Smith was a good choice for the role, and he did his own thing rather than try to copy Robin Williams, which was the right thing to do.

                                            Cinderella, Jungle Book, and Beauty were at least pretty to look at. One of my issues with Aladdin was that it looked like everything like a massive set. What they did with Jafar was also baffling to say the least. Felt very low-effort and manufactured. Lion King and Mulan were both worse, though.

                                            but a nice fun movie to watch with family.

                                                Guy Ritchie is the wrong person for these films. He makes fast-paced, action-oriented, irreverent films.

                                                  I honestly enjoyed the 2019 'ALADDIN' movie. I know it's nothing compared to the 1992 version, but it's still a fun movie to watch, especially with Will Smith as the Genie.

                                                    Damn another hercules movie. They need to make a live action atlantis movie and treasure island.

                                                    I love Guy Ritchie movies. I lived the Hercules animated movie as a kid. I'm sure I'll enjoy this.

                                                    I miss when Disney actually made new movies instead of remaking everything.

                                                    Let's just stop the movie and have Jasmine break the fourth wall with a horrible song. Not to mention weak-ass Jafar

                                                    I could live with the music and the Fresh Genie of Bel Air but Jafar absolutely could not hold down his end. Also no Iago.

                                                      Jared Keeso is a dead ringer for the cartoon Hercules.

                                                      No no no, silly boy. To have people that actually look like their animated counterparts play the character goes against everything Disney.

                                                      I was hoping they’d make a terrible live action Hercules, I am now at peace.

                                                      Idk, Guy Ritchie’s Aladdin completely turned me off to any future live action remakes.

                                                      It was more awkward to see the “romance” between Aladdin and Jasmine than watching my cousins kiss at the last family reunion. The only indication that the movie was directed by Guy Ritchie were the inexplicable slo smo shots that made me think “Huh, this was directed by Guy Ritchie.” The “feminist” take on Jasmine and her story line made me think this is why women shouldn’t be in politics. As for Jafar, the only charismatic thing about him was the creepy way he stroked his staff. And we haven’t even gotten to Will Smith’s dookie hair yet.

                                                      Aladdin and Jasmine had zero charisma or chemistry and someone forgot to tell Jafar that he wasn’t in the pornographic parody.

                                                      He didn't even turn into a giant snake! WTF is this shit! Also, after tiny-Gaston in Beauty and the Beast, I have no faith in them having Hercules be buff enough.

                                                      Hercules is a Marvel character as well. This is a perfect opportunity to crossover Disney Herc and Marvel. Make them the same person.

                                                      Of course they will ruin another one of my favorite Disney movies of all time once again.

                                                      Tom Holland as Hercules and Zendaya as Meg, calling it.

                                                      Austin Butler. I predict there's gonna be a big push to try to make him happen.

                                                        Disney's gotta be running out of these, right? No offense to the Hercules stans out there (it's fine) but I feel like if they're resorting to a remake of it they're probably scraping real low in the barrel. Next thing you know they're gonna be remaking like, fucking Brother Bear and Home on the Range.

                                                        I wish they would go for hunchback because I think it’s beautiful and progressive and the music is incredible but I doubt they want to handle the titular physical issues in live action.
