Peter Dinklage is right to give a new ‘Snow White’ movie the side-eye.
There's no good reason to remake "Snow White."
Actor Peter Dinklage, who was born with dwarfism, has lambasted Disney for rebooting the movie “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.”Earlier this week, actor Peter Dinklage rightfully lambasted Disney for rebooting the movie “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” as a live-action film. Dinklage, who was born with dwarfism and is perhaps best known for his turn as Tyrion Lannister in “Game of Thrones,” was right when he slammed the planned remake despite its novel casting choice for the main character.
Disney said it would consult with the little person community to make sure the new movie isn’t offensive. “Literally no offense to anyone, but I was a little taken aback when they were very proud to cast a Latina actress as Snow White,” he said. “But 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.
But as my friend and fellow MSNBC columnist Julio Ricardo Varela wrote in The Washington Post about thatnews that some stereotypical portrayals have been removed is a half-hearted victory that doesn’t really feel like a victory at all. I loved “Snow White” as a child, but I have the same opinion about Disney’s planned remake that Varela had about the new “West Side Story,” in that I can’t think of a good reason to retell the story. Not even with a Latina as the main actress.
