Although the movie is going to be a monstrosity, I need to defend the guy who is playing the Genie....his name is Joey Richter, and he is absolutely hilarious (but most likely won't be in this). If anyone here is a Harry Potter fan (I know @CheetahGirl is), Richter went to the University of Michigan with Darren Criss (or Blaine on Glee), and they were in A Very Potter Musical and its sequels together-with the production team, Team Starkid, becoming an internet sensation, where Criss was Harry and Richter was Ron. They have created other hilarious shows, parodying Star Wars, Aladdin/Wicked, etc. They have traveled not just across the U.S., but to Europe as well to meet fans.

It is incredibly sad to see Joey taking such an awful role, but I guess, an actors got to do what he has to do....
