Peter Dinklage Calls Out Disney’s ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’ Remake: ‘What the F– Are You Doing?’

thewrap.com:

WTF Podcast Monday (Dinklage’s comments start around 55:45), where he unloaded on the upcoming live-action remake, calling it “fucking backwards.”“Literally no offence to anyone,” Dinklage said to Maron, “but I was a little taken aback when they were very proud to cast a Latina actress as Snow White.

You’re still telling the story of ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.’ Take a step back and look at what you’re doing there. It makes no sense to me.”Dinklage is referring to the casting of Rachel Zegler, the “West Side Story” breakout who will star in the titular role, opposite Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen.

Marc Webb, director of “500 Days of Summer,” is helming the project, which features a script that was worked on by Greta Gerwig, with songs by the “La La Land” team of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.The actor continued: “You’re progressive in one way and you’re still making that fucking backwards story about seven dwarfs living in a cave together, what the fuck are you doing man?

Have I done nothing to advance the cause from my soapbox? I guess I’m not loud enough.”It should be noted that the dwarfs in Disney’s “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” don’t actually live in a cave.
