From what I have read, those PHOTOS HAVE BEEN DEBUNKED! Don't believe everything you read/see on the internet.

As mentioned in the post, these are photos of 'stand-in' extras. The Daily Mail made the mistake of not asking permission from Disney to publish these photos: they are not official photos from Disney. Furthermore they should have placed a caption under each photo stating that these were 'stand-in' extras, and not only say this in the article. Finally they should not have mentioned Rachel Zegler and other actors, without explicitly stating that they are not in the photos, but that these are all photos of'stand-in' extras.

... Excerpt from ‘Snow White’ Set Pics Stir Anti-Woke Criticism:

Editor’s Note: This story has been updated to reflect that after Disney’s U.S. spokesperson initially declared the photos published by the Daily Mail were fake, the studio later said the photos were from the production but were not official photos.

The Daily Mail on Friday published photos from the set of Disney’s upcoming live-action Snow White, sparking a storm of conservative backlash against the actors, whom the newspaper described as being of different “genders, ethnicities, and heights.”

Asked for comment on the brouhaha, a Disney spokesperson initially told The Daily Beast “the photos are fake and not from our production” and added that the Mouse House wanted a correction from the Mail.

Hours later, however, Disney’s PR shop completely backtracked and said the photos were from the production but were not official “photos”—chalking up the earlier statement to a misunderstanding.

... Excerpts from Disney now says those Snow White photos are simply "not official" [Updated]:

[Update July 14 6:35 pm]: After initially telling The Daily Beast that the Snow White set photos were fake, a spokesperson now says that the photos are in fact from the production, but are not official photos. We regret the error (and, in our mind, they still look pretty fake). The following story has been updated to reflect this fact.

Earlier this afternoon, a Disney spokesperson told The Daily Beast: “The photos are fake and not from our production. We are currently trying to have the Daily Mail issue a correction.” Of course, that story has now changed, and these photos are now simply not official.

... Excerpts from Disney's damage limitation on leaked Snow White photos backfires:

Photos were initially published by the Daily Mail, which Disney tried to claim were "fake." But after the Daily Mail published a clarification, the conglomerate subsequently released a clarification of its own, walking back its initial claim.

“The photos are fake and not from our production," a Disney spokesperson originally alleged to the Daily Beast. "We are currently trying to have the Daily Mail issue a correction.”

As a result, the Daily Mail issued the following correction: "This article has been amended since initial publication to correctly identify the actress portraying Snow White as an extra who stood in for post-production photography. Disney confirm [sic] that stand-ins were used for both Rachel Zegler and Andrew Burnap in these images. We are happy to clarify this point."

Later that day, however, the same spokesperson would walk back the previous statement made to the Daily Beast, saying the photos were indeed from its production but weren't official. The spokesperson claimed there was a misunderstanding and had called for a correction to the names of the actors that were in the photos, some of whom were stand-ins.

Not much is known about the movie yet, but actress Rachel Zegler (Snow White) did say something last year at D23 Expo 2022.

I think Rachel Zegler was great in West Side Story, unlike her co-lead, f-ing Ansel Elgort. I mean he was so stiff in that and his singing inconsistent, it made me forget he was in Baby Driver. Rachel Zegler is a talent that needs to be put in the front more, and hopefully with competent people around her.

Due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, this movie - originally scheduled for March 22, 2024 - will be delayed until March 2025.

Hopefully delayed long enough to cancel it for tax reasons before this bombs badly at the box office

Why will this "bomb badly"?

(And, for bonus points, tell us if it's possible to bomb well).

Well, it seems to me that if a movie does really badly at the box office, it has 'bombed well'. 😁😉

New image below & it has been pushed back (although I have never understood the use of the term 'pushed back', when it actually means 'pushed forward'!) to March 2025.

Pushed forward in time; pushed back in terms of priority/urgency/imminence, like pushing to a "back burner" to simmer after bringing to a boil on the front burner.

Well, Snow White, for starters, and the choice was between two Latinos, which means it is a blatant race swap to attack fans of the source material and the Disney cartoon. So you already know that this is going to be used to call the fan's "racist" and we have already seen that movies made to do that have a history of failure.

And then the lead actress came out and went full divisive politics, both at the beloved cartoon and the fans. Once more essentially echoing the "it's not made for you" mentality that makes people not show up to watch it. I mean, I can attest to not going to movies that the creators say aren't made for me, and then laughing when the movie bombs and they blame the fans that didn't go to the movie that they told them not to watch.

So you already have blatant and low key attacks on fans in a movie that people look at and think "race swapped just to attack fans" And now you have a movie where the lead is already trashing the original, already going full divisive politics, and is now attacking her costar for being Jewish. And thought that is en vogue for certain political groups to go full antisemitic to show how tolerant they are.... but for normies and people on the other side, antisemitism is still pretty disgusting.

And at the end of the day 1) People are getting sick of politics and this is already political 2) People are getting sick of the divisive crap and this is politically and racially divisive 3) People are getting sick of movies and celebrities lecturing them about politics and at least the lead actress has been lecturing them from the start 4) Disney has burned it's bridges with fans doing 1-3 on repeat since around 2016

the bottom line is that people go to movies to be ENTERTAINED and Snow White was made to be political not entertaining. And it's gotten to the point where people feel more comfortable criticizing the blatant politics and attacks, and it has always been that fewer and fewer people go to see movies like this because they aren't entertaining.

its hitting the theaters with a ton of divisive political baggage at a time when people aren't watching movies that come with a ton of political baggage.

People go to movies to be entertained, and Disney made it clear that Snow White was about politic not entertainment. Ergo, it's going to bomb badly.

Your breakdown for why it could bomb might be right...but if it does not bomb, will you be around to break down why it didn't?

While we wait for its release, get a feel for how this discussion could shape up by perusing this thread, hilariously titled Flop Flop Flop Flop, about the movie Barbie!
