Disney's Genie

Disney's Genie is an upcoming 2017 live-action/cgi film. It serves as a prequel to the 2018 live-action Aladdin remake. The film is dedicated to the late Robin Williams, the voice actor for the title character in the original 1992 film.

Plot:
The film opens over ten thousand years before the events of the sequel film. An order of magicians called "the Seekers of Wonder" travel across the seven deserts to create a massive, tiger-shaped cave in which to hide their most powerful mystic artifacts. Among these artifacts are a golden staff shaped like a serpent and an opal ring. The ring is said to either open a gateway to the realm of the Djinn {pronounced Genie} or allow one to see through time and space.
