Snow White 2024

Here was his direct quote, just for clarity -



I guess he wanted "better" roles in films for dwarf actors than this, and felt that this film would be a step backwards, almost like taking them back to the "point and laugh" era rather than where we are now, where we see them as the serious actors they are. It still doesn't come across "well" from Dinklage, even if he meant it to come across differently though. I also think he's probably not seen the original or may be mis-remembering it, as the dwarves are very much a hard working collective who work "in a cave" but live in a house they built and are independent of having to rely on "tall people" for anything, which is a better story than his "living in a cave" makes out.

Thing is, they are fantasy dwarves, a totally different entity, not humans with dwarfism. Dinklage doesn't even know what he's talking about.

He's basically just crying that he isn't given the roles people like Tom Cruise, Ryan Reynolds and Brad Pitt are given, that's how far his entitlement and narcisscism have taken him away from reality and common sense.
 
There is some needless procrastination in this remake going by the latest posts on here. The film makers' job is to make a fantasy family film, an escape from reality, but instead they're mud slinging over the Israel-Gaza war and over the dwarves' appearances.

I'm disappointed because Disney have had a few poor years, then Inside Out 2 came along and did them a huge favour. Moana II and Lilo & Stitch are just around the corner, but if Disney uses Snow White as a vehicle to let politics creep back in, they're in danger of throwing it all away again.

Wonka, although wasn't a huge box office success, a slow burner, Warner Bros still got it right with the Ooompa Loompas and it was just a fun family film.

Disney hasn't let politcs creep back in, it's mandated by them from top to bottom of their organisation. Hollywood is the same, to qualify for film industry tax breaks (State of Cal) your film has to adhere to DEI qoutas, both in front and behind the camera, and all the support staff.

Total surrender/takeover to/by DEI.

Snow White was filmed in Pinewood, the tax break comes from the UK government.
 
Is "DEI" the same as EDI?

Hollywood or not, I keep seeing DEI on these threads and I had to look it up. DEI is US-English and the E stands for equity. I know it better as EDI as that's what my workplaces have used. In EDI, the E stands for equality which means giving everyone a chance.
 
I didn't have high hopes for this due to the politics around this but that trailer looks pretty faithful to the original. Much of the politics around this was about the dwarves' appearance being offensive and they got removed, so I'm glad they got put back into the movie.

This will be twice now that I'll need one of my threads renaming. The Gladiators 2023 thread got renamed to 2024, and now Snow White 2024 will need to be renamed to 2025!
