Actor Peter Dinklage said he was "taken aback" by Disney's upcoming remake of "Snow White," calling it a "backward story about seven dwarfs living in a cave."
"They were very proud to cast a Latina actress as Snow White. 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, you know? It makes no sense to me," Dinklage, who has a form of dwarfism, said on Marc Maron's "WTF Podcast."
Rachel Zegler, who recently starred as Maria in Steve Spielberg's "West Side Story," has been cast to play Snow White.

On any red carpet, Selena Gomez is the picture of beauty, poise and confidence. But she'll be the first to tell you that things aren't always what they appear. For instance, her latest film: "Emilia Pérez." Gomez co-stars as the wife of a powerful Mexican drug lord who secretly transitions. The film is a hard-hitting true crime story, a poignant love story, a journey of self-discovery – and a musical. But somehow it all works.
