A new, updated version of the Disney classic will star Rachel Zegler as Snow White and Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen, with the script co-written by Barbie writer/director Greta Gerwig
Disney’s live-action remake of Snow White has been slammed as “disrespectful” by the son of the director who helmed the original animated classic.
David Hand directed the 1937 movie Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, which was the first-ever Disney animated feature film, but his son, also called David, has criticised the upcoming live-action remake of the movie, set to star Rachel Zegler as the eponymous Disney princess, and Gal Gadot as the villainous Evil Queen.
The original has been updated and won’t feature some of the elements of the original, and Rachel herself has said Snow White will be “more independent” than the 1937 character, but David slammed the “insulting” project, and claimed filmmakers were making Snow White “woke”. In an interview with The Telegraph, he fumed: “It’s a whole different concept, and I just totally disagree with it. Their thoughts are just so radical now.”
