Live-Action ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’

[Tha Realest]

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. There was a scheduling conflict due to the strikes, they continued production without her because of that not because she was throw out due to her comments. You're trying to make an insinuation without any basis of proof.

Did they do away with the role all together? Did a non-SAG actor replace them?

She was the only SAG actor on the cast, had to step-down due to the SAG strikes, and she was replaced by a non-SAG actor named Carla Tous.

Again you're trying to insinuate something that just isn't true.

Why though? Is she some kind of threat to the world order lol?

Looks pretty dead to me.

Pretty much how it works. It does not matter how many attaboys you have, one ooops and you are yesterdays news.

This was in my MSN news feed this morning… they’re reporting a $330 million budget after reshoots, that can’t be accurate can it?

Using the 2.5 break even that would be $800 million + just to break even, I know Disney is pretty carefree with the movie budgets but that would be insane.

But there’s no evidence of that other than what a couple of people here are saying. I just read through some articles and it looks like her career is going great.

I would take that with a huge truck load of salt, that number comes from the Daily Mail which is known for embellishing stories for clicks.

If I was to guess I would put it closer to TLM $240M budget. But I'm sure we'll see seen enough when the trades actually start reporting on it as we get closer to release.

I've had issues with all the remakes for many reasons, but it is beyond me why Disney thinks it's a good idea to make a remake mainly for people who despise the original.

If that's the case the movie is screwed. Best case scenario for a Snow White remake would be around $500 million.

I think the movie might be surprisingly good or at least not terrible with Greta Gerwig and Mark Webb's involvement, but I think it will tank regardless as there's already a mob of people rooting for it to fail and getting money from YouTube ragebait.

There was nothing to despise in the original because nothing really happened. It would probably make a 20 minute short these days.

The remake is for people who want something different.

I do think it wasn't smart for Zegler to make disparaging comments about the film that the Disney company was built upon and is beloved by millions, but the hate she has received has gone way, way overboard.

I heard what she said and didn’t find it disparaging in any way.

I think the characters are beloved but I wonder how many people have actually seen the film. My kids haven’t, and I watched it for the first time last year.

I was born in the 90s and adored it as a kid. Snow White isn't as big today as it used to be, but I still think a fair number of people have seen it. It had like 10 theatrical releases in the 20th century and is the top 10 highest grossing movie of all time, adjusted for inflation.

In the United States, it has sold 28 million VHS tapes, 5 million DVDs and about 3 million Blu Rays.

I'm not familiar with Disney fans who haven't seen Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and don't at least appreciate its artistry or its significance, but this forum is filled with people who only started liking Disney once it became a corporation that needs to be defended at all costs (I guess around 2011-2013).

While those individuals may have worked on the project, it's possible executive meddling may have curtailed things that would give this remake any distinctive voice of its own.

By and large, these live-action remakes have been uninspired rehashes, regardless of who's involved.

I'm not expecting Snow White to be different.

 

[Farerb]

People think this movie is going to be a masterpiece because of Greta Gerwig when she only had limited involvement:

Greta Gerwig Had Limited Involvement in Disney's Live-Action Snow White Movie

If you're planning on seeing Disney's live-action Snow White in 2025, it sounds like you shouldn't expect Greta Gerwig's signature touch — or a preview of what to expect from her future Narnia adaptations at

It also has its fair share of people who don’t care for Disney at all.

That’s a rather tendentious framing. Would you describe Maleficent and Cruella in the same way?

I in no way think it will be a masterpiece, but it's possible it won't be the trainwreck we all have feared.

At most I'd say they don't understand the original characters but they are so divorced from them that I actually don't consider them remakes. Maleficent is basically a Frozen remake and Cruella just feels like a fanfic about the character, but neither felt like they had contempt for the originals and it feels like the only people who look forward to this film are people who don't like or don't care about the original, probably in order to defend Rachel Zegler's comments about it (I personally don't care, she's allowed to voice her opinions), but everything you hear about it, including plot details which I won't share because of spoilers, including some songs they are keeping and some they are dropping for being "offensive", I just gotta ask who's the target audience for it. If this story is so problematic why remake it in the first place only to change everything about it until it is unrecognizable but you still call it "Snow White" and you still call it a live action remake.

This movie is a mistake just like Pinocchio and I'm willing to bet that it will make less than The Little Mermaid.
