Disney Delays Release Of Live-Action Snow White Reboot By A Year And Dumps Diverse Dwarves

Disney is delaying the release of its live-action Snow White movie by a year for a major overhaul, after star Rachel Zegler sparked anger after slamming aspects of the original. Walt Disney announced the delay on Friday. The movie studio cited the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike as the major reason behind the decision - but cynics point to upcoming reshoots as proof Disney bosses fear they've made a $330 million mistake. Zegler, who plays the title role, said the 1937 source material was creepy and vowed to ensure the remake was more progressive. Over the summer, the film received negative attention after it was revealed that the Seven Dwarfs would be replaced by seven “magical (non-dwarf) creatures” in an effort to keep the storytelling in line with the 21st Century's commitment to political correctness. They were seen on the set of the movie and included a mix of men and women of different ethnicities, with a real dwarf among their number. But in a new publicity shot, Snow White, played by Rachel Zegler, is seated and surrounded by seven CGI dwarfs, with the diverse originals nowhere to be seen.
