What a defeatist attitude people have! We’ve only seen one trailer so far.

I’m interested to see how the story has been expanded; there isn’t enough material in the animated version to fill a live-action film.

Someone posted that Disney might be showing a new trailer this week. Any more info on that?

I heard sometime this week also, one of the YouTube sites leaked about a 15 second part of it but it was taken down, in the leaked portion the Queen appeared to be arresting the prince, which lead them to speculate SW is going to save the Prince rather than the Prince saving SW… pretty broad speculation from a short clip showing the Prince being arrested/taken but wouldn’t surprise me.

In a few more days we’ll hopefully see the whole trailer and can judge for ourselves.

Broad speculation is all there has ever been about this movie.

According to reports from the set and plot leaks from scoopers, they added a battle scene at the end where Snow White defeats the Evil Queen and saves the Prince. The battle sequence adds at least 20 minutes to the runtime, and includes a fake-out death scene for Dopey. According to early reports, Snow White kills off the Queen by shoving a poisoned apple down her throat, mockingly taunting "how do you like them apples?" as she stands over the Evil Queen's corpse.

However, to establish Snow White's fighting skills, the movie will contain a five-minute training montage at the halfway point, set to one of the new songs from the film.

Snow White and the Prince will kiss in this version, although she will be the one who wakes him. But to establish that the kiss was consensual and not problematic like the animated film, a lengthy 7-minute conversation will be added to the beginning of the movie where Snow White and the Prince respectfully discuss what boundaries they are comfortable with regarding touch and public displays of affection.

So that's already 32 minutes of runtime added to the film just based on the leaks. I'm sure there are several other subplots that we don't even know about that will be added to the film. We will likely get a long sympathetic flashback/origin story for the Evil Queen that will contextualize her actions, more insight into why Grumpy became a misogynist, and a more-lengthy redemption arc for Grumpy where he explicitly apologizes to Snow for mistreating her on the basis of her gender. There will also likely be new female sidekick/friend for Snow so that the movie has an easier time passing the Bechdel test, and several scenes that explain more about the political landscape of the kingdom and how the common folk are oppressed under the reign of the Evil Queen.

Then there will be the 3-minute post-credits scene where Rachel Zegler's Snow White is recruited to join Emma Watson's Belle, Halle Bailey's Ariel, Lilly James's Cinderella, Naomi Scott's Jasmine and Liu Yifei's Mulan in a future Live Action Disney Princess crossover movie, where the Princesses must unite to save the world from a great evil.

Wow that’s not as clever as I thought it would be given the apparent effort. I expected more. 😉

If I’m not mistaken, this is the first indication we have that the Queen will appear in her Old Hag form (you can see her in the background).

The teaser previously released had the indication of the Old Hag transformation, even a quick glimpse of her, so this isn't the first.

This isn’t the gotcha you think it is, since my post was clearly about all such “news” channels, regardless of their ideology.

Oh, and ABC isn’t a news channel and therefore has nothing to do with what I’m saying.

Correct… actually ABC could be the most factual… if you watch World New Tonight… the issue is with these 24 hour news channels… there is only so much news you can cover in a day…. So then they rely on so called “Opinions” to fill in the rest of the time…. But people take it as fact…which it most certainly is not

I don’t think the issue is with the format per se. There are very solid 24-hour news channels out there that stick to what they’re supposed to do, even if they end up being very repetitive as a result. But yes, what you’ve described is very much the case with all of the US-based news channels.
