In a battered box office where brand is king, Snow White wasn’t a dumb decision for Disney, it was logical: (500 Days) of Summer Marc Webb directing, Wicked ‘s Marc Platt producing and Oscar winners Pasek and Paul writing songs. Barbie ‘s Greta Gerwig has fingerprints on the script.

Disney 's live-action remake of Snow White has sparked controversy, largely due to comments made by its lead actress, Rachel Zegler. While her portrayal of the iconic character seeks to offer a modern take, departing significantly from the 1937 animated classic, her remarks about the film have ignited debate.
