And you didn't have to click the link in my post if you just wanted the same blurb in that Reddit post as I quoted it right in the post. Basically its duplicate information just this time not from the source but still quoting the source, ie its better to get it right from the source and not a Reddit post.
The great thing is, all those kids under 12 need a parent to also buy a ticket to take them to see SW.
No, she's supposed to say, "It's gonna be exciting. You'll just have to wait and see how we blended the fantastic original classic with some new elements and songs," ... like a normal actress with more than 5 minutes of media training would have done.
This is true of all movies, which is why so many wait to see it at home. This is particularly true of those with very young children who have a hard time sitting quietly in a theater.
It shows that Disney's core audience for "Disney" movies is and will continue to be families. And outside any "drama" the movie has that appeal which hopefully will bode well for the box office.
These are not mutually exclusive. Too many people think these two groups are at odds with each other but they typically aren't, they just look at it from different perspectives.
I disagree. She was hired to act in a movie and she answered honestly when asked about it.
You can disagree all you want; your recommended course of action likely cost Disney a couple hundred million dollars (and ended Zeigler's career as a leading lady).
I didn’t recommend any course of action.
And the followup question would have been, "Yeah but how is it going to be different or is it going to be the same?".
The could make both Stakeholders and Shareholders happy if they had control of their movie budgets.
Of course you did. You plainly stated what you think she should have done (as did I). That is a recommended course of action.
The way I interpreted this is:
We've seen it a bunch. RDJ as iron Man, Evans as cap... Lots of questions and criticism of the choices. The big difference is competent filmmaking. People have always looked at these types of characters with a critical eye. Its up to the people making the film to prove those people wrong. The problem is, it sure doesn't seem snow white has done that. And even if it was great and Zegler was a standout performance, her comments kneecapped any chance of people saying, wow she was great, I got that one totally wrong.
Actually I don't remember all that much outrage. I remember some people scratching their head a bit. but all in all the excitement for batman 89 was fever pitch by me. It was nothing like what's happened with snow white.
"New songs, some added scenes, a couple new characters people will love. I'm not sure what I'm allowed to share because Disney has sworn us to secrecy to maintain the surprises!"
You assume that Shareholders care how much they spent on their latest movie. I never really see one question at any shareholder meeting or earnings call from anyone complaining the movie budgets are too high.
Sounds like Disney World circa-2025
No I just explained what she did (answer direct questions) and why she did it (the purpose of questioning is to elicit answers).
And we've all seen how well that goes over when stuff like that is said for an MCU film.
Did Disney swear her to secrecy to maintain the surprise? If not, wouldn’t that have been a lie?
I'm willing to bet there is a non-disclosure clause in the contract of every Disney actor. I have no idea what it covers or doesn't cover.
