‘Aladdin’ Sequel in the Works (EXCLUSIVE)
With new horizons to pursue, “Aladdin” is getting a sequel.
After the huge success of last summer’s reboot, Disney is creating a followup to the movie with authors John Gatins and Andrea Berloff.
sources say that the film is in early development, but after spending the previous six months figuring out what path to take another movie, manufacturers look to have discovered their route.
Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich, who made the first, are back making through their Rideback bannerads, together with Ryan Halprin executive producing.
It is unknown at the moment if director Guy Ritchie will reunite. Producers hope to attract back stars Will Smith, Mena Massoud and Naomi Scott, but supplies will not be long to the throw before a script is prepared.

The movie is going to be a theatrical release, not a Disney Plus title. The first animated film had two straight-to-video sequels, but sources say that this new take is totally original and not based on these notions.
According to the 1992 revived classic, the 2019 pic was a huge hit, becoming just the fourth live-action adaptation to cross the billion-dollar international box office landmark — joining”The Lion King,””Beauty and the Beast” and”Alice in Wonderland.” After the movie’s success, studio execs knew crowds were hungry for much more, but were aware that they had to locate the appropriate take. Following a thorough investigation that entailed shooting pitches from numerous authors, they eventually discovered what they were searching for after a meeting with Gatins and Berloff.
Gatins, who earned an Oscar nomination for his work about the Denzel Washington play”Flight,” most recently composed”Power Rangers” for Lionsgate. Berloff’s credits include”The Kitchen,” which she directed,”Sleepless,” and”Straight Outta Compton,” that brought her an Oscar nomination for screenplay.
