That EW cover is just going to create a whole new generation of people misremembering a Genie Sinbad movie. It is really funny how that is such a widely held false memory. Combine that image with Sinbad's general terrible 80s genie-esque fashion sense, the incredible amount of terrible kids movies including Kazaam specifically, and your mind goes "Sure, he was probably in a dumb genie movie, a lot of B grade comedians were in a lot of crap."

Now is the perfect time for some D-list studio to do a cheap Aladdin ripoff featuring Sinbad for a quick buck. It would get so much publicity for like two days.

From the EW article
Genie don’t gotta cuss in his raps to sell records Well, I do, so f*** him and f*** you too!

Reminds me more of the Theatre version that has been going strong in the West End here in the UK. I have hope.

I am much more concerned by Jafar, who looks like a Bollywood heart-throb with about as much evil in him as Toto the dog in Wizard of Oz.

I said this movie was going to live and die on Will Smiths performance.
I did not think it would die on his appearance...touche Disney

I do think Aladdin and Jasmine look on point at least.

That cover looks like it's for a local pantomime.
Genies design. Wow.

Holy f***, this looks horrible. I thought for sure Will Smith would be doing mo-cap for a blue CGI Genie. This though? So f***ing bland. How can they be so on point with the visuals of Jungle Book, Beauty & The Beast, and Lion King, then churn out crap like this?
I'm calling it now, this is going to be a Lone Ranger/John Carter flop.

But for the early promotion they have to drive home the point "HEY YOU GUYS, WILL SMITH IS IN THIS!!!" Also, it's Robert Downey Jr. syndrome. Disney aren't paying Will Smith tens of millions of dollars to not have his face on screen. I expect in the finished movie it'll be about 50% CGI Genie and 50% Will on screen.

Will Smith just doesnt look like the genie...Like. I cant picture will Smith playing the same kinda of charisma the original Genie(And Robin Williams) had.

From the EW article Genie don’t gotta cuss in his raps to sell records Well, I do, so f*** him and f*** you too! Yeah, that's not true at all. Every single "Disney Channel Original" movie that's been released in the last decade has had some sort of Kidz Bop rapping in it (High School Musical, Descendants, etc.). One is a straight rap-battle movie, and I would be lying if I didn't say that it actually is pretty good representation for a family-friendly representation:

I still don't understand how Terry Crews isn't playing the genie. There's a guaranteed billion dollars right there alone.

I wouldn't really call a movie a flop based on a magazine cover. I'm sure Will Smith's genie will look better in the finished product with all the effects and whatnot.

The pseudo live-action remakes of their most beloved movies have been licenses for Disney to print money. Unless it's Asylum-level bad, and Avengers: Endgame and Detective Pikachu hold strong in their fourth and third weeks, this'll make $500 million minimum. Probably more.
