A recently surfaced video of Rachel Zegler, who plays the titular character in the upcoming live-action remake of “Snow White,” has sparked controversy after the actress revealed how the new Disney film would differ from the 1937 animated classic.In the 2022 D23 Expo Variety interview clip, Zegler and “Wonder Woman” actress Gal Gadot discussed how the reimagining of Snow White would shift the Disney princess’s values, dreams and agency in the story.When asked how the new Snow White would bring a “modern edge” to the famous fable, Zegler laughed and said, “I just mean that it’s no longer 1937.”Gadot, who will play the Evil Queen in the movie, interjected and divulged that Prince Ferdinand would not save Snow White.“She’s not going to be saved by the prince and she’s not going to be dreaming about true love,” Zegler noted. “She’s dreaming about becoming the leader she knows she can be and the leader that her late father told her that she could be if she was fearless, fair, brave and true.”“It’s just a really incredible story for young people everywhere to see themselves in,” she added.The resurfaced video spread across social media early in the week, making many Twitter users skeptical of the new adaptation’s thematic direction.“It’s no longer 1937, guys,” State Freedom Caucus Network Comms Director Greg Price said.

Sophie Holland originally wanted to be an actor, but says it didn’t work out for many reasons. “Not least of all, I was probably terrible,” she says with a laugh. “But I love the industry so much and somebody said to me, ‘If you want money, you should be an agent. And if you want power, you should be a casting director.’”  Though Holland now says she might have been “misled” about the power – she feels like “any other self-employed creator begging for work” – she fell in love with the process of casting. And as someone who understands acting (and is married to an actor), she brings a deep respect for the craft to her job and a special empathy into the process. “As a casting director, I think you need to give safe environments so that people can be their most creative selves,” she notes. “If you put the pressure on or they’ve had a shit time or you’re unkind to them, it’s not going to help anybody. So it’s your job really to create an atmosphere, an environment where they can do their best work.”
