Social West Side Story Star Rachel Zegler to Lead Disney Snow White Remake

[Cajun]

Dinkliage climbed to the top, then set fire to the ladder so no other dwarf could follow him.

Yeah and I really like his work and he has done a lot in terms of little people acting in film but he's totally wrong here and I imagine that many little people actors are hating on him right now.

Same here. GoT went to shit in it's final seasons, but Dinklage always did his best, even when the writers etc gave him crap to work with.

But he's absolutely wrong here. All he's done is stop little people actors who haven't hit the jackpot like he did from getting badly-needed work.

Yup. A Disney movie coming around for them is once in a career. The sad reality is that there will not be an abundance of roles for little people as their stature is typically made a part of the story and there are too few of them for it not to be a noticeable piece. Disney for their part has become so woke that it cuts out people from the actual group they would claim they are protecting.

 

[Pittie Petey]

Still not as dark and ugly as the actress they picked imo

 

[KAZSoliloquy]

if this is in the WR, i'm guessing she's black. oh, the horror.

lol at Peter Dinklage not getting enough credit for cock blocking all the other dwarves in Hollywood who would have loved to have been cast in Snow White. Dude scored bigtime with Game of Thrones and now he's the official spokesman for Dwarves in Hollywood... lol



“Literally no offense to anyone, but I was a little taken aback [when] they were very proud to cast a Latina actress as Snow White, but you’re still telling the story of ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,’” Dinklage, 55, said on Marc Maron’s “WTF” podcast in 2022.

“You’re progressive in one way but then you’re still making that f – – king backward story about seven dwarfs living in a cave together,” Dinklage continued. “What the f – – k are you doing, man? Have I done nothing to advance the cause from my soapbox? I guess I’m not loud enough.”


You know there's trouble coming when someone leads with "No Offense Bro... but"

They're pissed off... How many different ways did Disney fuck up this movie?



“It’s a movie that’s supposed to have real dwarves. Instead, Disney chose to use CGI to replace actors and actresses that are little people that are very talented,” Chapman told TMZ on Wednesday.

“Disney had the great opportunity to cast very talented actors like ourselves,” she added, referring to herself and her husband, Matt McCarthy, who also has dwarfism. “They missed the boat.”

“All the little people out there that are freaking actors and actresses that love to have parts in this kind of movie, and everyone’s trying to get their dreams come true, and it just seems like we’re getting our dreams shut out by Disney and Hollywood,” he said.

Chapman added, “That’s seven roles right there. Seven little people that could’ve filled those roles, and unfortunately we were shut out of that opportunity.”

What's hilarious about this is it's all born from this idiotic trend of calling midgets 'dwarves.'

Dwarves are a fantasy race, not a type of real person.

No wonder she randomly went after Spielberg. No wonder Hollywood doesn't have her back.

'Free Palestine' is a half measure as a statement anyway. 'End the Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people' would actually take balls to say.

Dwarfism is a medical condition. Calling people with Dwarfism 'dwarves' is a new thing. The PC term was 'little people' our entire lives.

Calling them 'dwarfs' is new.

 

[Deleted member 592570]

Just to be clear @Madmick, you think it'a a fairy tale about a girl living with seven human men with dwarfism?

I'd advise you stop. You're just digging yourself deeper.

The term "dwarf" traces back to Old English. There are written records that date back to as early as 700 A.D. Contrary to what you wrote above, no, the use of the term is ancient; it's the fantasy "race" that has only been around for about 50 years since the advent of Dungeons and Dragons; or alternatively in the old folklore similar to what Tolkien drew upon in LOTR. The dwarfs in the tale Little Snow White, as recorded by the Grimm Brothers, were not a different race. They were humans. Just small humans.

Proportionate dwarfs, disproportionate dwarfs, and midgets are all real types of people. The last is distinguished from the former two groups, particularly the second group, by the fact they're perfectly healthy. They suffer no hormonal/growth disorder. They're just the smallest of us.

Just to be clear @Madmick, you think it'a a fairy tale about a girl living with seven human men with dwarfism?

Yes.

Maybe? There's really nothing fantastical about dwarves in a fantasy setting. Their special power is mining. Other than that, they essentially are just little people.

What about elves? Can we call 'em that?

woke is stupid but what is more stupid and intentional they give these white roles to minorities but then intentionaly through writing make it unberable to watch and that is why people have problem with it.they take classic and through writing make it sht

Maybe, maybe not. I actually read the tale again only a few years ago in Grimm's, and I don't recall them having any special powers, or being distinguished in any appreciable way other than they lived in the forest, and were miners, and did not have any supernatural powers like Rumpelskiltskin, the kobolds, or other dwarves from old Germanic/Norse folklore.

The thing I recall was that Snow White was, IIRC, only 12-years-old. That was the part that stood out.

 

[Bubzeh]

Holy moly, just casually browsing IMDb and saw Snow White has a 1.7 rating lol. Won’t be long until they take the ratings system away anyway.

I think she is 14 in the 1937 Disney movie.

Nope she’s not black. More like they decided to create the 7 Dwarves with CGI instead of casting actual humans. They pretty much just slammed the door on little person thespians.

Genghis certainly wasn't racist.

He'd kill or rape anyone, regardless of race, creed or colour.

I've also read he was very relaxed when it came to religion, he didn't care what your worshipped as long as you prayed for his success

Yeah, I've heard the same. As long as you obeyed their commands and paid tribute, the Mongols didn't give a shit about which God you worshipped.
