In addition, Variety reveals that the film’s Hollywood premiere on March 15 will forego the traditional red carpet, limiting coverage to photographers and the studio's house crew, excluding the numerous media outlets typically invited for on-site interviews.
Sources indicate that this decision is less about appeasing the “anti-woke” critics and more about managing the controversies surrounding lead actors Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot. The studio appears to be trying to shield its talent from unwanted attention. Zegler has been vocal about her criticisms of the original animated film, while Gadot’s pro-Israel stance has attracted scrutiny, especially as Zegler recently posted “Free Palestine” on social media.
The film's budget remains unconfirmed, with some sources claiming it exceeds 50 million in its opening weekend.
Snow White was penned by Greta Gerwig and directed by Marc Webb, known for 500 Days of Summer.
