Fantasy Disney Developing Live-Action 'Snow White' (Exclusive)

And even then Patty Jenkins didn't really understand WW by the time she got to WW84.

Rachel Zegler deserves better than being stuck in CGI with Gal Gadot.

She could have declined the role.
Her Choice.

Those live action dwarfs are nightmare fuel.

Her Choice.

I think she regrets it since she didn't know Gal would be anti-ceasefire.

When they’re on the campaign trail laughing together and making viral videos like Web’s Most Searched Questions, we’ll see lol

 

[Drizzle]

More like Patty Jenkins is an underpaid miracle worker.

I also give Chris Pine some of the credit too. He brought out more emotion from her than we saw across at least 5 Fast and Furious and DCEU movies.

 

[Kane52630]

I think I even said in my original review that Chris Pine carried that first movie... which is not what you want if you're making a big female superhero movie.

It's called hornt up colored glasses.

 

[OrbOfConfusion]

We've got dwarves that look like Animorphs and Zegler not doing the movie any favors any time she says something, but everyone here is up in arms over Gadot?

Is this a generational thing? Because I have a hard time believing that she didn't know having to work with people she disagreed with politically was going to be part of the job of being a movie star or actor in Hollywood.

I just don't get why they copied the aesthetics of the original made in 1937. They really could have given this version its own look and really gone to town on the costume and set design. Instead it's a weird pastiche of what a 2024 movie would look like if it was designed by people from the 1930s.

IDK I think this looks cute.

It’s cause the Disney version is still the most popular version.

Otherwise it’s Snow White and the Huntsman. Or even worse, Mirror, Mirror *shudder*

Principle photograhpy was before the war, so it wasn't an issue.

I said when the original movie came out that Gadot was not a very good actress. She really lucked into the role and was lucky she was having some success at the time with Fast and Furious. They should've cast Bridget Regan.

As for Snow White, the dwarves are...yeah. But we shouldn't be surprised. All the live-action adaptations have been fairly mediocre. Aladdin was mediocre. The Lion King was mediocre. The problem is that Disney has frequently far too much been rewarded for making bad mediocre live-action remakes.

The CG in Aladdin was bad too and the Genie looked terrible. Even the CG in the Mufasa prequel looks like it took a sharp decline in quality.

People were making fun of the CGI Genie as soon as the first trailer dropped for Aladdin but in comparison to the CGI dwarves in Snow White, the Genie is practically Avatar-level quality.

And then they all went to see it in droves. A good example of how people on the internet are the vocal minority.

I was wondering if we could call them 'dwarves' or if they'd even say the term in the movie.

In that particular case, sure. Aladdin is one of the most popular animated Disney movies of all time plus Will Smith was a major audience draw that any criticisms didn't matter. People were going to see it anyway.

This live action Snow White on the other hand is a tougher sell even taking the bad CGI out of the conversation because while the original cemented its place in cinema history, it's nowhere near as popular as the more recent Disney animated films among millennials and younger generations. It's not like Gal Gadot and Rachel Zegler are big box office draws either. I'm not necessarily saying this will fail, but it sure as hell isn't going to see the same success that the live action Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast or Lion King did in the past.

Will Smith has done plenty of bombs and cinematic turkeys in the past.

I'd say Snow White is pretty popular and just as popular as Cinderella, which was a huge hit at the box office. Cinderella didn't really have any major box office draws in the lead role either.

But of Disney's live-action remakes, I can't think of a single one I thought was a great movie or above average. I thought The Jungle Book was somewhat decent. Way overrated, but it never got me as emotionally as the original did. Bill Murray wasn't a good Baloo, and Christopher Walken butchered "I Wanna Be Like You."

Gadot to me comes across worse lol

 

[psylockolussus]

I thought the 2nd trailer looks worse. The story looks complicated compare to the original animated film. It kinda reminds me of the 2010s movie, Snow White and the Huntsman, and that's not a good thing.

 

[zeptron]

I saw the trailer when I saw Moana 2. Damn the dwarves look awful.

They could have just hired seven dwarf actors that wouldn't require any CGI. But Peter Dinklage had to complain.

Possibly, but Cinderella also came out in a much different time than now. The live action Disney remakes were more of a newer concept and it was also pre-Disney+ where audiences were more willing to venture out to theaters.
