As long as she performs the role well, I honestly don’t care.She's gonna wind up costing the company a couple hundred million dollars. The worst part is that the dopes in charge probably think it is worth it.

Why do you suspect the box-office performance will be disappointing?I’m sure you’ll find many, many more opportunities to continue voicing your horror at Zegler’s abominable behaviour in the months leading up to the film’s release, after which you’ll no doubt share frequent updates of what I suspect will be a disappointing box-office performance.
And more likely than not WON’T see the movie, but will criticize it and complain about it, despite not having a leg to stand on.I generally have very little interest in what actors say or do beyond how well they acquit themselves in the roles they’re paid to perform. You and others here seem to care a great deal about statements made by Rachel Zegler in interviews she gave last year—a passion that, for some reason, doesn’t extend to her costar, co-interviewee, and fellow Disney-hater Gal “She’s not gonna be saved by the prince!” Gadot.

(Did I mention it’s cowritten by Greta Gerwig? I understand you’re a great fan of her work!)
Because the bad PR has gone mainstream enough that I think the film’s chances of doing well are irretrievably damaged.Why do you suspect the box-office performance will be disappointing?
See the movie? Are you mad? We don’t do that here in the film subforum!And more likely than not WON’T see the movie, but will criticize it and complain about it, despite not having a leg to stand on.
We’ve recognized the patter long ago.

Neither. @Casper Gutman has already outlined how, and through whose instigation, this “controversy” came about. I’ve nothing to add to his analysis.And is that the potential audience's fault? Or is it Rachel Zegler's fault and whoever at Disney PR approved those Talking Points she was given for D23 Expo interviews?
Who on earth said we were? Certainly not me.And this little corner backwater discussion forum, all two dozen of us, is not guiding it or controlling it.

I have no solution and am not interested in devising any. I’m here as a humble fan who likes to watch movies (fancy that!) and share my thoughts—negative as well as positive—on what I’ve seen. Selfish of me, I know, but we can’t all devote ourselves to the noble cause of rescuing Disney from the Zeglers of this world.So what's your solution to that problem?
No-one in this thread has said or implied anything resembling this. Quite the opposite in fact. I’ll refer you again to @Casper Gutman’s excellent analysis.But it's been implied by others that we were controlling strings, guiding "narratives", and other such conspiratorial drivel.

Selfish old me just doesn’t care! The only thing I’m interested in is whether it proves to be an enjoyable movie. Greta Gerwig’s involvement is encouraging in that regard!Well, somone needs to figure out how to reel her back in, retrain her, and relaunch her and this entire big budget movie.
Because this has been a PR disaster for Disney the past two weeks. Messy. And all based on Miss Zegler's own words.

Snow White actress - Hollywood's next big thing to most scandal-ridden star
Rachel Zegler is set to star as Snow White in the upcoming live action remake of the Disney classic, but the actress has sparked major controversy in the lead up to the Hollywood blockbusterwww.mirror.co.uk
As has been demonstrated over and over, this is entirely manufactured. Those “words” had to be dug up, distorted, openly lied about, and blasted through existing culture war channels (where did she say she “hated” Snow White? Still waiting for an answer on that claim by the Mail). So… a little more then Zegler’s own words.Because this has been a PR disaster for Disney the past two weeks. Messy. And all based on Miss Zegler's own words.
I have been following this for weeks and not said a word. I find it incredible that @LittleBuford and @Casper Gutman can try to make their own echo chamber about anything regarding this. It is a disaster waiting to happen. Across the boards there are many saying this. The fact that the two of you want to claim it isn't does matter about the bad PR. time will tell but it will be the same outcome.I generally have very little interest in what actors say or do beyond how well they acquit themselves in the roles they’re paid to perform.

What's inorganic? She said incredibly dumb stuff that anyone with a pulse would realize fans of the original film would find eye-rolling (at best) and offensive (at worst). So people said to themselves, "If she was dumb enough to say that in public, I wonder what other dumb stuff she has said over the years," and went looking for it. And guess what? She said a bunch of dumb stuff over the years.We’re not the only ones in an echo chamber.
If you just keep shouting about how huge the totally organic story is, you never have to think about why or how or by whom the story is being pushed. Critical analysis of media is for losers, apparently.
Periodic invitation for the pearl-clutches to actually focus on Zegler’s words and point to the specific ones you find upsetting rather then indulging in vague hyperboleZ
