Oscar-winning songwriting duo Benj Pasek and Justin Paul shared with Variety on the Academy Awards red carpet that they would be contributing songs to the new film version of Aladdin, the classic '90s Disney musical.
Collaborating with one of their musical heroes, Alan Menken, the duo -- whose “This is Me” (from The Greatest Showman) was performed by Keala Settle at the Oscars on Sunday night (Mar. 4), and lost to "Remember Me" from Coco for best original song -- wrote the lyrics for two songs for the upcoming film, due out next year.
