Disney has responded to remarks made yesterday by award-winning actor Peter Dinklage that called the studio’s plans for a live-action remake of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs “f*cking backwards.”
recent comments to Marc Maron about the upcoming remake of Disney animated classic “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” assuring him that the new movie won’t be as incendiary as imagined.Dinklage expressed concerns over this new iteration of the classic fairy tale, applauding the studio’s decision to cast Rachel Zegler, the breakout star of “West Side Story,” in the title role, while deriding the company for maintaining a tired narrative about dwarfs.“To avoid reinforcing stereotypes from the original animated film, we are taking a different approach with these seven characters and have been consulting with members of the dwarfism community.
