Aladdin is directed by Guy Ritchie (Sherlock HolmesThe Man from U.N.C.L.E.) from a screenplay by John August (Dark ShadowsBig Fish) based on the 1992 animated film Aladdin and stories from “One Thousand and One Nights.” The producer is Dan Lin (The LEGO Movie) with Golden Globe winner Marc Platt (La La Land), Jonathan Eirich (Death Note) and Kevin De La Noy (The Dark Knight Rises) serving as executive producers.
