Just like SE7EN where stand ins were said to be used for Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman from afar.

It never made sense to call her "Snow White" if her last name wasn't "White". As a nickname, sure. An ACTUAL name without a surname?? Smh
And if this new Snow White has the surname and is just named Snow without it being about her skin color, then cool.
Naming someone after the color of snow because their skin is pale just never made sense to me. Except as a nickname.

Most likely an old pic (in the last week) because the strike only started yesterday.
Edit: if the script was finished, they can still shoot. But can't now that the SAG-AFTRA is striking.

It's a fairytale, not a political agenda.
Once upon a time in midwinter, when the snowflakes were falling from the sky like down, a queen was sitting and sewing at a window which had a frame of black ebony. And as she sewed at the window and glanced up at the snow, she pricked her finger with her needle and three drops of blood fell on to the snow. And because the red looked so beautiful on the white snow, she thought to herself: if only I had a child as white as snow, as red as blood, and as black as the wood in the window frame. Not long afterwards she had a little daughter who was as white as snow, as red as blood, and with hair as black as ebony, and because of that she was called Snow White. And as the child was born, the queen died.

Never said anything about a political agenda. Just thought it was dumb for the reasons I stated. I don't write with the intention of people reading between the lines.
That said, now that I read what you posted from the story... I can see where the name came from. Though it still seems it's a nickname and not her actual name.
It's a story of fiction, as you said, so it matters not.

Its just a clever safe sounding name. Better than Wood Black or Blood Red.

I dunno. Blood red sounds pretty cool!

The ones here judging the outfits have to wait until they apply the bluish color grading. For those of you who care about the skin tone, that color grading will lighten it.

I was thinking the same. Maybe if this cast was involved in a quirky TV ad for laughs it makes sense. But I find it hard to believe this is real material for a Snow White movie.

Most movies look like that while shooting... They never look like the finished product.
You know norhing John Snow!

Maybe. Its a fairytale setting after all. It'll probably all get CGI'ed up in post production.

Suitable name for an eighth dwarf within the current social climate and Disnaey's contemporary media vision.

Replace two of the dwarves with Eric Andre and Dave Chappelle, and get Jack Black in there for good measure. Box office smash...lol

Peter Dinklage put Disney on blast when they announced the movie, so they made them CG creatures instead of Dwarves.
Yes because "Grown Men" should never concern themselves with what "there kids" consume.

Most movies these days look like that when you take away the CGI, make-up, and post-production touch ups. You'd be amazed by how cheap costumes and sets actually look without all the modern technology applied to it. There is a reason that when you go back to the 80's and beyond you look at "big budget" films looking goofy and fake outside of practical effects. They just didn't have the tech to touch it up in the moment. If you took out all the movie magic out of modern films most of them would look like cheap local productions because all the money is in the CGI and special effects.
Which sucks because you used to have older films that looked great because they put in the effort, but those days are mostly long gone outside of people like Nolan.

This one actress from "queens gambit" was born for this, just give her ebony hair.

I've been on this forum for a long long time now, and I've never seen somebody so relentlessly and consistently defend mega-corporations as much as you. I certainly hope you're paid for it at least. It's like every single thread about Marvel/Star Wars/Disney, you're right there just chiming in on how it's ackshuwally a good thing.
This stuff is trash, run through the diversifier, soul removed, passion removed, written by people that will take some of the worst paying jobs in the industry (apparently according to the strikes). Why do you defend it so vehemently?

They can’t shoot in the US. There was a story yesterday about how production of House of the Dragon is continuing as normal because it’s shot in the UK. Most fantasy films seem to be shot in Europe or New Zealand.
Equity, the UK equivalent of SAG-AFTRA, has said the strike isn’t legal under UK law and so actors should continue to work, even SAG-AFTRA members. Their statement seems to suggest they expect productions to move to the UK.

“Representation” in media is only significant and important when it involves black people or LGBT, you know that.

Watched this the other week and it just blows away pretty much 99% of sets/green screens of modern movies by looking actually Alien/otherworldly AND the Nostromo looks like a lived in working cruiser

Or to put it another way: Peter Dinklage acted like a holier than thou ass when Disney announced the movie, so they took six roles away from a group of actors who find it very difficult to find roles in the first place.
He really is an angry elf.

The fact that it could fool anyone as real for even a few seconds is a pretty sad indicator of how bad Disney has really become. No one should look at this and do a double take and be like "wait, is this real? hold on!" It should just be so laughably bad at first sight it's an obvious joke.
