Like some kind of Michel Gondry orgy taking place in Pee-weeâs Playhouse, the trailer for Adam Greenâs Aladdin leaves the viewer asking, âHrm?â The fantasy film features some of Hollywoodâs hippest crowd: Natasha Lyonne, Macaulay Culkin, Alia Shawkat, ZoĂŤ Kravitz, and more. The official synopsis states:
Set in the modern day world, Adamâs hyper-sensory, poetic and humorously subversive take on the classic Arabian Nights tale stars Adam as Aladdin living with his dysfunctional family in a âregularâ American town ruled by a corrupt Sultan with a decadent socialite daughter.
The film is the second feature from musician, artist, and filmmaker Adam Green (one half of the Moldy Peaches). Itâs weird, itâs sexy, itâs colorful, and itâs probably too cool for you. But it has a chair made of asparagus. So, you be the judge.
