Please for the love of all the gods do not give studio execs this idea or they'll be scrabbling for a remake.

    The original director and screenwriter aren't allowing anyone to do a remake, so I guess we are safe as long as they are alive.

    Robin Williams did Aladdin on the proviso nobody would do a remake.

    Edit: Okay, I'm wrong. It happens. Sometimes a lot.

    It was on the proviso that Disney approve that his voice acting - and the Genie character - were not used in any of the film’s promotional material. They did it anyway, hence why he didn't voice the Genie for the 2nd film voiced by Dan Castanella (The Return of Jafar), and came back for the third (King of Thieves) after a public apology from the Disney head at the time, and $1,000,000.

    Nope, scrabbling. The film will be written using whatever words the writers use in their scrabble game

    They will be scrambling to scrabble a script...I see.

    I hope they cobble something together that is somewhat comprehensible.

    Part II would be basically be Terminator and they'd still promise flying cars and hover boards.

    Here's a few events from 1885:

    Mark Twain publishes “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn”

    Washington Monument dedicated

    Convicted murderer gets spared from death when gallows malfunction

    Apache leader Geronimo flees Arizona reservation, setting off panic

    Statue of Liberty arrives in New York Harbor

    Chinese miners are massacred in Wyoming Territory

    No, not 1885. 1926. It would be Gatsby era.

    Doc would be stockpiling gold for the Depression and driving an early electric Model T.
