"Adam Green's Aladdin is not simply a standalone film—Green has composed the entire soundtrack, which will be released as an album and extensively toured, plus he's curating a host of international art shows where you'll be able to submerge yourself in his otherwordly sets." -- Noisey
 
Renowned musician and filmmaker Adam Green today unveiled a teaser trailer for Adam Green’s Aladdin, a hyper-sensory, poetic and humorously subversive take on the Classic Arabian Nights tale, written and directed by Green. The movie features a brand new soundtrack album composed and recorded by Green, who will be kicking off a worldwide ‘Aladdin Tour’ concurrent with the film and album's release in Spring 2016.
 
The film is a modern day version of Aladdin, with Green starring as the titular character, and explores the recesses of Green’s symbolic imagination wherein the lamp is a 3-D printer, the princess is a decadent socialite, the planet gets a sex-change and its population prints out an analogue version of the Internet.
 
“With Aladdin, I wanted to create a single and unified experience to showcase my music, art and writing,” said Adam Green. “When creating Aladdin, I approached the script like it was a song. It has been the creative journey of a lifetime, and I’m so excited to put this out!”
 
The fantasy film stars an ensemble cast featuring some of New York’s biggest arts, music, and film talent, including:

Adam Green - Aladdin
Macaulay Culkin - Ralph the Rebel Leader
Natasha Lyonne - Aladdin’s Mom
Jack Dishel - Uncle Gary / Sultan
Alia Shawkat - Aladdin's sister
Francesco Clemente - The Genie
Har Mar Superstar - British Druggie Guy
Devendra Banhart - Saucemaker
Bip Ling - the Princess
Zoe Kravitz - Old Miner
 
The movie was filmed entirely with handmade paper-máche sets, with more than 500 props and 30 rooms constructed out of phone books, newspapers, glue, and house-paint. The satirical odyssey revolves around Aladdin’s dysfunctional family, who live in an ordinary city ruled by a corrupt Sultan and explores themes of technology, government repression, greed and true-love.
