A beautiful girl, Snow White, takes refuge in the forest in the house of seven dwarfs to hide from her stepmother, the wicked Queen. The Queen is jealous because she wants to be known as "the fairest in the land," and Snow White's beauty surpasses her own.
The classic tale comes to life.
Snow White is an upcoming American musical fantasy film set to hit theaters on 21 March 2025. Directed by Marc Webb, this live-action adaptation of the classic fairy tale promises to bring a fresh take on the beloved story. It features a screenplay co-written by Greta Gerwig and Erin Cressida Wilson.
The film stars Rachel Zegler as Snow White, Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen, and Andrew Burnap in a new character role. The story is a reimagining of the 1937 Disney animated classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, which is itself based on the fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm.
Production for the film began in March 2022 and took place mainly in London. The filming was significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to a series of delays. Additional scenes were shot in June 2024. The film will also feature music from Jeff Morrow, alongside classic songs from the original film.
Since its announcement, Snow White has generated considerable debate. Critics have voiced concerns over the casting choices, particularly Zegler’s role as Snow White, which led to discussions about representation in classic fairy tales. Furthermore, the portrayal of the Seven Dwarfs has sparked controversy regarding the decision to alter their original depiction.
On the promotional front, Disney previewed the first teaser during the D23 Expo in September 2022, showcasing glimpses of the enchanting settings and introducing audiences to the new interpretation of the characters. Despite high expectations, early feedback on the teaser has been mixed, with significant backlash surrounding certain creative choices.
This adaptation seeks to modernize the classic tale by focusing not only on the fairy tale aspects but also on character development and empowerment themes. Zegler has already hinted that her character will be portrayed as more resilient and dynamic compared to the original version.
The film is positioned as a significant release for Disney, with plans for wide theatrical distribution, including engagements in IMAX and various advanced viewing formats like 4DX. As anticipation builds leading up to its release date, the film's reception will reveal audience sentiments toward this ambitious reimagining of a timeless tale.
