Disney’s live-action adaptation will feature new songs, that will be ‘empowering’ for women.
Variety reports that Disney’s new adaptation of Aladdin will feature the film’s classic and much-loved musical repertoire as well as two new tunes, which will be added to the mix. The news was teased by the film’s actor Mena Massoud, who stars as the titular character at this year’s GQ Men of the Year party.
We’ve got all the original music in there, plus a couple of new songs,” Massoud told the outlet. “They’re really empowering. I gotta say one is very empowering for women, I think people are going to really, really dig it. The other one is awesome as well. We got the same guys who did La La Land and The Greatest Showman, we’re in good hands.”
The Guy Ritchie-helmed film is definitely taking its cues from the original animated film, but now we know that new sounds will definitely be added to the magical world of Agrabah.
