... Excerpt from Disney Showcases Magical Look at ‘Snow White’:


Disney’s Snow White—a live-action musical reimagining of the classic 1937 film—is coming to theaters on March 21, 2025.

The film—which stars Rachel Zegler—invites audiences back into the magical world of Snow White with beloved songs and recognizable characters such as the Evil Queen and, of course, Dopey, Grumpy, Sneezy, Bashful, Happy, Sleepy and Doc.



... Excerpt from ‘Snow White’ First Look: Rachel Zegler and the Seven Dwarfs Join Forces in Disney’s Live-Action Movie:


Disney has unveiled a first look at the upcoming live-action remake of “Snow White.”

In a new image, Rachel Zegler is transformed into the iconic Disney Princess, surrounded by her Seven Dwarfs. As of today, the film, which was originally set to open on March 22, 2024, has been delayed to March 21, 2025.

Zegler stars as Snow White and Gal Gadot plays The Evil Queen. Ansu Kabia co-stars as the Huntsman and Andrew Burnap plays a new character named Jonathan. The Seven Dwarfs have been reimagined for the remake, and Zegler has said that this new iteration will not be as focused on the romantic subplot but instead will show Snow White become the leader her father encouraged her to be. The reimagined storyline and Zegler’s casting — she will be the first Latina to play Snow White — have generated some online criticism for veering from the source material.

The original film, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” was released in 1937 and was Disney’s first feature-length animated film. More than 85 years later, the cast and team behind the remake have promised an updated version of the classic fairy tale.

From what I have read, those PHOTOS HAVE BEEN DEBUNKED! Don't believe everything you read/see on the internet.


As mentioned in the post, these are photos of 'stand-in' extras. The Daily Mail made the mistake of not asking permission from Disney to publish these photos: they are not official photos from Disney. Furthermore they should have placed a caption under each photo stating that these were 'stand-in' extras, and not only say this in the article. Finally they should not have mentioned Rachel Zegler and other actors, without explicitly stating that they are not in the photos, but that these are all photos of'stand-in' extras.



... Excerpt from ‘Snow White’ Set Pics Stir Anti-Woke Criticism:


Editor’s Note: This story has been updated to reflect that after Disney’s U.S. spokesperson initially declared the photos published by the Daily Mail were fake, the studio later said the photos were from the production but were not official photos.

The Daily Mail on Friday published photos from the set of Disney’s upcoming live-action Snow White, sparking a storm of conservative backlash against the actors, whom the newspaper described as being of different “genders, ethnicities, and heights.”

Asked for comment on the brouhaha, a Disney spokesperson initially told The Daily Beast “the photos are fake and not from our production” and added that the Mouse House wanted a correction from the Mail.

Hours later, however, Disney’s PR shop completely backtracked and said the photos were from the production but were not official “photos”—chalking up the earlier statement to a misunderstanding.



... Excerpts from Disney now says those Snow White photos are simply "not official" [Updated]:


[Update July 14 6:35 pm]: After initially telling The Daily Beast that the Snow White set photos were fake, a spokesperson now says that the photos are in fact from the production, but are not official photos. We regret the error (and, in our mind, they still look pretty fake). The following story has been updated to reflect this fact.


Earlier this afternoon, a Disney spokesperson told The Daily Beast: “The photos are fake and not from our production. We are currently trying to have the Daily Mail issue a correction.” Of course, that story has now changed, and these photos are now simply not official.



... Excerpts from Disney's damage limitation on leaked Snow White photos backfires:


Photos were initially published by the Daily Mail, which Disney tried to claim were "fake." But after the Daily Mail published a clarification, the conglomerate subsequently released a clarification of its own, walking back its initial claim.


“The photos are fake and not from our production," a Disney spokesperson originally alleged to the Daily Beast. "We are currently trying to have the Daily Mail issue a correction.”

As a result, the Daily Mail issued the following correction: "This article has been amended since initial publication to correctly identify the actress portraying Snow White as an extra who stood in for post-production photography. Disney confirm [sic] that stand-ins were used for both Rachel Zegler and Andrew Burnap in these images. We are happy to clarify this point."

Later that day, however, the same spokesperson would walk back the previous statement made to the Daily Beast, saying the photos were indeed from its production but weren't official. The spokesperson claimed there was a misunderstanding and had called for a correction to the names of the actors that were in the photos, some of whom were stand-ins.

Not much is known about the movie yet, but actress Rachel Zegler (Snow White) did say something last year at D23 Expo 2022.

I think Rachel Zegler was great in West Side Story, unlike her co-lead, f-ing Ansel Elgort. I mean he was so stiff in that and his singing inconsistent, it made me forget he was in Baby Driver. Rachel Zegler is a talent that needs to be put in the front more, and hopefully with competent people around her.

This movie will probably be delayed - originally scheduled for March 22, 2024 - due to the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.

Hopefully delayed long enough to cancel it for tax reasons before this bombs badly at the box office

Why will this "bomb badly"?

(And, for bonus points, tell us if it's possible to bomb well).

Well, it seems to me that if a movie does really badly at the box office, it has 'bombed well'. 😁😉

New image below & it has been pushed back (although I have never understood the use of the term 'pushed back', when it actually means 'pushed forward'!) to March 2025.

Pushed forward in time; pushed back in terms of priority/urgency/imminence, like pushing to a "back burner" to simmer after bringing to a boil on the front burner.
