Live-Action ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’

[BuddyThomas]

Has anyone checked on Zegler lately? She hasn't come out and trashed her film's source material in a while.

As others have said, you’ve somewhat mischaracterized her comments. Here is a very detailed article that goes into the whole thing:

Rachel Zegler stirs backlash over old comments about Disney ‘Snow White’ live action

The film is set for release next year. But Zegler, who stars as the title character, has been the subject of online discourse after several interview clips from last year emerged.

If it requires an entire article to try to justify her comments, perhaps her comments should have been better thought out (at minimum), especially as the leading lady of the film. Ideally, the studio has gotten her media trained now and she won't embarrass herself and the company when the pre-release press engagements start.

She didn’t embarrass herself.

Coming in with a big stirring stick for the pot!

Haven’t heard anything. Which is probably best honestly.

She embarrassed TWDC... Except for Iger. He's fine with it.

Any press is good press!

She didn’t embarrass anyone, including Disney or herself. She has 5 upcoming movies including the new Hunger Games next month which is expected to be a major hit. She already has 19 past award nominations and 4 wins. She’s going to be just fine, whether her trolls like it or not.

Am I the only one who couldn’t care less about what these actors say about the films they were hired to act in? What possible difference could it make to whether or not you enjoy the movie?

... that just shows how rabid, and unhinged the anti-Disney nerdrage conspiracy propaganda has become.

Same.

No. Not the only one.

What possible difference could it make to whether or not you enjoy the movie?

In certain situations, potentially a lot for some. But that’s a path we have gone down several times.

I suppose all of these people need press training too and should never work in Hollywood ever again???

Several Hollywood stars have confessed to disliking certain films they were in. Jacob Stolworthy runs through the ones who have said as much

No article needed… there is nowhere in her comments I heard that bash Disney’s original Snow White… it’s just a certain group of online people who twist her words to fit their anti- Disney narrative

it’s just

It’s just people hearing the same words but interpret them in a different manner. Which happens every day in life. People form opinions differently. It’s not a big deal.

I think we already know SW2024 will cost more to make and market than it will bring at the box office really because they spend too much money making their films in general.

Forbes reported that Disney had already spent $209 Million on its production budget when principal filming wrapped up, with more money being spent on it in post-production and editing. Let's be optimistic and say it will cost $225 Million production, and let's be conservative and say they only spend $75 Million on its marketing.

That would mean it's going to need roughly $600 Million at the global box office to break even.

And we also must remember they state the budget numbers but we have no idea how much over budget they go.
Just a guess on my part but I think this movie is going to lose money.

BUT as we are seeing, its perfectly OK for Disney to lose money over and over.

Their goal only to updater the stories for modern audiences, not for mass appeal. Money does not matter.

Their goal is to appeal to modern audiences in order to get mass appeal today. Sometimes the material doesn't need much or anything at all, as in TLM, but I honestly defy anyone to write a screenplay for the original Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs that lasts longer than 30 minutes. Even the original Brothers Grimm version is extremely short.

Except… I believe it does have a lot to do with nerdrage(to
Borrow a word from @MisterPenguin) Zegler’s interviews went largely unnoticed for over a year until a certain online community look to see what could they pick apart to fit their narrative…and their fan community will largely agree with whatever they say whether it is true or not

Very true. But that doesn't change what she said or how people received her messaging. There are plenty of examples of online communities digging up past statements by targeted individuals in order to disparage them. The question is only whether one sees those statements as impactful or inconsequential.

It’s all also weirdly paternalistic.
