Los Angeles, California - Rachel Zegler is playing Snow White in the Disney’s live-action movie that's coming out March 21st.
Snow White: Directed by Marc Webb. With Rachel Zegler, Emilia Faucher, Gal Gadot, Andrew Burnap.
They just had the world premiere at Hollywood’s El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles, California. Gal Gadot, Rachel Zegler, and Disney CEO Bob Iger was at the premiere.
Marc Webb said:
“It was really important for us to honour the DNA of Snow White,” Webb says. “The original ‘Snow
White’ didn’t break the mold…it created the mold. Somehow Walt Disney connects to something
inside of us – a kind of childlike wonder and optimism.”
Webb continues, “But there was also an opportunity to re-tell the mythology to reflect the times
that we’re in, and I think all good stories evolve over time. They become reflections of the world
that we live in and what we want the world to be to a degree.”
“Our story is about a young woman who’s learning to be queen, to be a leader,” Webb says. “And
one of the guiding principles for us when developing the script was who is Snow White as a
leader? Disney princesses have evolved pretty dramatically in the last century, so we wanted to
know what is specific about Snow White. What makes her different? And the idea that she is a
princess is easy to gloss over, but the fact is that she has a destiny to lead was something that we
really wanted to hone in the script.” source: Disney
