Live-Action ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’

[DCBaker]

"Disney on Tuesday responded to recent harsh criticisms made by Peter Dinklage about the upcoming live-action remake of Snow White."

"Disney attempted to set the record straight following the remarks.

“To avoid reinforcing stereotypes from the original animated film, we are taking a different approach with these seven characters and have been consulting with members of the dwarfism community. We look forward to sharing more as the film heads into production after a lengthy development period,” a Disney spokesperson said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter."

This knee-jerk reaction by Disney to one actor's opinion is so absurd one hardly knows how to respond to it.

"Stereotypes"? WHAT stereotypes? Of Dwarfs? Does anyone think that Walt and company based their interpretation of the storybook dwarfs on actual people? Good god.

I wonder if Disney realizes that every time they do this kind of thing, it makes them look cringingly overanxious, overwoke, and actually damages their own classics that they are (unnecessarily) remaking into live-action versions. Like the stupid assertion that the Siamese cats in Lady and the Tramp were racist, this nonsense involving the Dwarfs makes Snow White now look racist. When it sure as hell isn't! They're fairy-tale dwarfs! What's next - are the Munchkins in the Wizard of Oz now racist?

Disney, just don't make the damn movie. Nobody wants it anyway. Stop maligning the classic films that built the company by giving in to overwrought hysterical hyperbole. I guarantee that MOST people think you're being stupid here. If Twitter is blowing up over it (I wouldn't know, but I'd bet it is) remember the immortal words of Dave Chappelle: TWITTER ISN'T REAL.

Dwarf actors slam Peter Dinklage for canceling Snow White's 7 dwarves

Multiple actors with dwarfism and agents told DailyMail.com there are plenty of people who would have happily accepted the jobs that Dinklage said were 'backwards'.

It's bad enough there's the Russia - Ukraine crisis unfolding, but now we have a battle of dwarves about to commence?
And we're not even a full month into the new year?

All together, it could become the Battle of the Five Armies.

Martin Klebba confirms he will play Grumpy and hints that the film will release late 2023. Could Snow White take Rogue Squadron’s date?

So they ARE having dwarves?

So they ARE having dwarves?

It's possible that the characters will be magical creatures but with the Dwarfs' names and personality traits.

Bumping this thread so that the photos can be discussed here and not the other threads.

Bumping this thread so that the photos can be discussed here and not the other threads.

The discussion so far has been:

“Wow, these photos look kind of lame.”

“You can’t trust the Daily Mail. Disney says they’re fake.”

“Looks like they’re from the production, but have a few stand-ins and aren’t official release photos. Daily Beast has retracted its correction.”

“Yeah but you can’t trust the Daily Mail. Why do you hate everything?”

 

[Jedijax719]

No WAY those photos are real! If they are real, then they are stand-ins for major CGI replacements.

In a statement to The Independent, a Disney spokesperson clarified: “The images that ran [in the Daily Mail] are not official film photos. These show stand-ins for some talent and do not feature Rachel Zegler or Andrew Burnap.”

 

[GimpYancIent]

Looking forward to photos of Gal Gadot in full "Evil Queen" Grimhilde regalia!

 

[TalkingHead]

Didn’t realize this is being co-written by Greta Gerwig.

That combined with the comments that this version won’t have a Prince Charming and that this Snow White would never say, “Someday my prince will come” pretty much tells you where this is headed.

Maybe this goes straight to D+?
