Source: https://deadline.com/2022/10/disney-fan ... 235139732/Disney is working on a live action fantasy and sci-fi-infused movie inspired by the classic Middle East folk tale collection, One Thousand and One Nights, aka Arabian Nights.
The Walt Disney Pictures project, currently titled 1001 Nights, is being penned and exec-produced by Arash Amel, who recently wrote well-received Disney+ movie Rise, about NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, and who previously penned A Private War, starring Rosamund Pike as war correspondent Marie Colvin.
Plot details are being kept under wraps but I understand this will be an original take drawn from the ancient folk tales and will be a standalone IP, not related to any existing Disney properties such as their Aladdin franchise.

1001 Nights
Re: 1001 Nights
This sounds like it could be interesting. If there are sci-fi elements in it, I imagine it'll probably feature characters from our time travelling to the world of the 1001 Nights or something like that, which reminds me of the DuckTales episode "Master of the Djinni" (I didn't remember the title; I had to look it up). Though, to be honest, I'd prefer they adapted one of the stories instead of combining several of them, as it seems they're doing here.
