Well since none of us here are seemingly in a decision making position within TWDC, we're all just armchair quarterbacking without any real skin in the game. So its easy to just sit back and snipe from the cheap seats, its a lot harder to be in the game actually making the calls.
It's really easy to snipe when they make decisions like replacing Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs with Snow White and the Seven Magical Creatures. Or turning Snow White into a resistance fighter.
How many decisions have you made on behalf of the WDC?
Seems that was just some silly conspiracy theory. There are dwarfs in the trailers.
Except that hasn't ever been confirmed to have been the real original plan for the story of the remake, just some rumor from a hack tabloid site. And even more isn't what is actually being released. So in this case the sniping is not even warranted.
That's what you're going with? That the magical creatures nonsense was a conspiracy theory?
It set the release of the film back a year and undoubtedly caused the production budget to balloon (re-shoots). And it prevented them from using human actors in the lead roles.
Right that’s the stuff from the hack tabloid site. I forgot some of it.
I’m confused. As opposed to using robot actors?
Which hack tabloid site?
Don’t go down this road. The whole thing is so far fetched and ridiculous it’ll make your head spin.
As opposed to using voice actors and CGI animated characters.
But wouldn't that put more credence into your idea that a closer remake is better overall?
I mean you obviously know about the story, so you should know where it came from. I don't want to give them oxygen, so I rather not post its name here, but its easy to find if you look and really want to know the original source of the story.
The original was 83 minutes long, they obviously have to pad the story and update it a bit to make it a modern 2+ hour long movie. So yes its not going to be a shot-by-shot remake from start to finish, but enough of it should be that it'll be a fairly faithful adaptation based on just what we see in the trailers alone.
This stuff got the Snow White thread shut down, so it's probably not a good idea to start rehashing it here.
It doesn't need to be a 2 hour movie. They could make the movie an hour and a half and theater owners (and parents) would be thrilled because it means they'd get extra showings per day.
*shrugs shoulders*
You mean extra empty seats.
Would they be thrilled, either parents or theater owners, that is an assumption you're making without any proof. I don't see many if any theater owners actually complaining that they can't sell more showings because modern movies are now longer than in 1937.
