Wondered what happened to Harvey Weinstein? He's undergone some...changes.

🍎💥Disney dropped the ball, so Samuel L. Jackson is picking it up—and chucking it straight at the Magic Mirror!! 💥🍎 Samuel L. Jackson stars as Snow White in this brilliantly absurd, AI-created trailer. Throw out everything you think you know about gentle woodland princesses and friendly forest creatures—this Snow White swears like a sailor, questions the logic of fairy-tale fashion choices, and openly mocks the Evil Queen’s questionable motives. With profanity-laden dialogue, razor-sharp wit, and dwarfs ready for action-movie chaos, this irreverent spoof demolishes classic tropes while making you laugh harder than Disney lawyers chasing copyright claims.

What if Rachel Zegler was in Hansel & Gretel after being in Snow White? Transcript linked to video of sketch.

The crisis facing the Walt Disney Company over its controversial Snow White reboot deepened today amid pictures of empty cinemas and screens with no bookings in primetime slots following a poor opening weekend. Studio bosses had hoped that the reboot of the 1937 original, which had a budget of more than $270million (£210million), would launch with at least £79million ($100million) in ticket sales. But the movie starring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot took just $87.3million (£67.4million) globally including $43million (£33million) in the US after a slow start followed a slew of negative reviews. Meanwhile, in mainland China, Snow White ranked...

I don’t keep up with what Disney is doing. What they did to the Star Wars franchise is unforgivable. Yet, the new Snow White movie starring Rachel Zegler, a pro-Hamas clown, is getting bombed harder than Gaza right now, as critics and theater-goers are decidedly not watching this movie:

Even Snow White wouldn't want to wake up to this nightmare that she created. In the latest example of Gen Z realizing that words have consequences, Disney's real-life Snow White debuted on Friday to horrific numbers, with the $209 million budget film bringing in a reported measly $15.5 million to kick off its expected $40-$50 million box office weekend. The pathetic turnout comes after lead actress Rachel Zegler's controversial comments disparaging the original 1937 movie as being "extremely dated" with its views about women "and a stalker Prince," to wishing "no peace" to Trump supporters after the President's reelection in...

Mirror, mirror, on the wall, what’s the most contentious blockbuster of them all? On any list of the most trouble-plagued releases in recent Hollywood history, Disney’s live-action remake of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs would surely rank heigh-ho, heigh-ho highly. The $270 million-budget spectacle, starring Rachel Zegler as the storybook princess, finally hits cinemas this month after four years of seemingly never-ending online fury and negative news stories. From calls to boycott the film and attacks over its alleged “f______ backward” depiction of little people, all the way to the sight this weekend of the movie’s two biggest stars...

I had little to do with the fall of the Berlin Wall 35 years ago. Like the billions who grew up with the monstrous structure, I thrilled to watch it get torn down by Germans on each side of it. And I celebrated the man responsible for the glorious sight, in journalism and fiction, although he was no longer President. Ronald Reagan brought down the Soviet Union with a singular vision which dispelled a 70-year-old belief — that the Cold War was the permanent status quo. He’d articulated it a decade earlier and shaken the world. “Here’s my strategy on...

The Walt Disney Company is riding high. After Disney CEO Bob Iger shuffled the company’s movie lineup last year, it paid huge dividends with two billion dollar hits in Inside Out 2 (2024) and Deadpool & Wolverine (2024). Disney can potentially have four billion-dollar movies this year, with Moana 2 (2024) and Mufasa: The Lion King (2024) scheduled for later this year. Disney also got fans jacked up for the start of next year with a preview of Captain America: Brave New World (2025) at the D23 Expo in Brazil this past weekend. Despite all the goodwill that Disney has...

Rachel Zegler took to Instagram to apologize for her heated reaction last week to the re-election of Donald Trump. Disney's upcoming Snow White star received blowback following her original post, where she declared, "May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace," and "there is a deep deep sickness in this country," and, "another four years of hatred, leaning us towards a world I do not want to live in." On Thursday night, the 23-year-old actress posted a new message: "Hi everyone, I would like to sincerely apologize for the election post I shared on Instagram last...

“Snow White” star Rachel Zegler has finally apologized after her nasty tirade about President-elect Donald Trump and his supporters sparked calls for a Disney boycott. The 23-year-old actress issued the groveling apology on her Instagram late Thursday — days after she wished Trump supporters would “never know peace.” “I let my emotions get the best of me,” Zegler wrote to her 2.3 million followers on Instagram. “Hatred and anger have caused us to move further and further away from peace and understanding, and I am sorry I contributed to the negative discourse.”

Daniel Alman from Squirrel Hill @DanielAlmanPGH Instead of firing #RachelZegler, #Disney should issue a public statement saying that it was wrong for them to fire #GinaCarano, and that it's wrong to fire anyone for something that is not related to their job performance. #CancelCulture #Woke #News #StarWars #SnowWhite #Trump 6:02 PM · Nov 14, 2024

Disney is under mounting pressure to dump Snow White star Rachel Zegler after she lashed out at Americans who voted for Donald Trump. The 23-year-old Hollywood starlet plays the titular role in the live-action remake, due to be released in March 2025. Zegler's strong opinions have sparked backlash in the past, but her latest outburst could derail the release, according to Trump voters who vow to boycott the film.

When actress Rachel Zegler gives an interview, Disney executives get nervous. The Snow White star has caused no small amount of PR damage from speaking off the cuff, and her latest interview with Variety features its fair share of zingers. Rachel Zegler casts herself as the victim of sexism in the backlash to her Snow White comments, claiming people deliberately misinterpreted what she said in order to see a woman being torn down. Later, she doubles down on her “free Palestine” activism — a phrase that has been adopted by anti-Israel activists demanding the elimination of the Jewish state. She...

Actress Rachel Zegler will not keep her opinions to herself, no matter how unpopular. Yesterday, Zegler — who became better known thanks to Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story — Tweeted out one unpopular opinion: “Free Palestine.” Zegler never says a word about the Israeli hostages taken by Hamas, or the innocent victims of the October 7th attack against Jews at an Israeli music festival. This must have caused some friction on the set of Disney’s live action “Snow White” set for release in 2025. Zegler’s co-star is Gal Gadot, who is Jewish and from Israel. I can’t imagine the pair...

...Harris and Brown, the longtime pastor of San Francisco's Third Baptist Church, have known each other for nearly a quarter century, and the two have remained close throughout her vice presidency. In July of 2023, Harris posted a picture of the two to the vice president's Instagram account and described Brown as "an inspiration to me always."At a memorial service for victims of the 9/11 terror attacks held just six days after al Qaeda murdered nearly 3,000 Americans, Brown used the occasion to point the finger at the United States in remarks that, according to the San Francisco Chronicle, "set...

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 with a tirade of woke fury. Walt Disney announced the delay on Friday. The firm 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 turkey. Zegler, who plays the title role, also mired the movie in controversy by alleging the 1937 source material was creepy and vowing to ensure the remake was more progressive.

Steven Spielberg’s adaptation of the beloved musical “West Side Story” finally began to screen for awards voters over the weekend ahead of its Christmas Day release. First reactions are pouring out as the film’s official premiere at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles gets underway. Early reactions are offering praise for Spielberg’s direction and high marks for Rachel Zegler as Maria in her film debut. The musical premiered mere days after the death of Stephen Sondheim (who wrote the lyrics for the original production, with a book by Arthur Laurents and score by Leonard Bernstein) at the age of...
