What does the future hold for diverse casting in hollywood?

[Anonymous]

I'm in sort of the middle ground on this. I love to see movies and shows with all types of racial / ethnic / social / international source material and actors.

What I don't like is ham-fisted and distracting attempts to forces diversity in roles when it doesn't make sense.

Clearly trump is on the warpath against DEI - so what does that mean for hollywood, which I think at least some would say, has over done it?

Hope it doesn’t look like the last 20 interviews with that narcissistic loud fake Snow white chick. Making fun of and ridiculing literature, original animations, sound tracks, etc.

I doubt Hollywood cares what trump thinks about casting decisions.

But given how he seems to have dirt on people and forces then to cave to his demands, I’m wondering if any closeted A listers might end up in his line of fire?

She is so annoying and quite frankly seems like a terrible person. Which is a shame because she is very talented.

I wonder if this will affect her ability to get future roles? The execs can't be happy with the negative publicity.

Her career is over before it really even started.

And that’s okay.

Nobody is entitled to being a celebrity. It’s largely a popularity thing…and she’s just not popular.

It’s literally recent interview videos of her going off making fun of tons of things, people, creations, decades. No “negative publicity” needed, she generates it herself.
Super cocky and out of tune.

They hired Her.
She didn’t make herself into that role.

You clearly know nothing about RZs career and just get your sound bites from Fox News.

CNN did a segment on the movie and lead actress this morning (“Disney’s snow white sparks discourse on race, identity).

The guest (Patricia Alfonso Tortolani) pointed out that “skin as white as snow” was a historical reference to nobility (not an anti-bipoc thing).

The guest also pointed out that Disney has a diverse catalogue of princesses.

Perhaps much ado about nothing?

The hate for Rachel Zegler is bc she spoke out against Trump. His supporters are coming for her now.

I don’t care what race she is. She looks fine as Snow White (although it is funny the premise of the movie is that the queen is upset Snow White is more beautiful than she is, and the queen actress is arguably a lot more attractive).

I am not a Trump supporter but find her out of touch and obnoxious. Demeaning the original film was unnecessary (seriously - it’s a children’s fairy tale - not everything has to be about being a strong independent girl boss). I feel like the weird changes they made to this movie are too much. People, including liberal people, are sick of this and I attribute this type of woke stuff to why trump won to begin with. I’m an independent voter who leans left FWIW.

Now that there are so many streaming options and the need for tons of content I don’t see this really hurting diversity. There’s now like a niche audience for everything. If you can get 2 million viewers to consistently watch a show that is huge. Obviously back in the 80s and 90s before we had endless choices you had to get really big numbers and that’s just not the case anymore.

Conservative media have done a great job of taking over news etc. They’ve been significantly less successful in entertainment.

No one’s really watching the movies that Kirk Cameron is churning out.

It's not about being a girl boss. It's actually about not reenforcing the idea of acceptable lack of agency that has been laid on girls for decades. How many freaking movies told girls to go after the brooding bad boy that just needed a good woman, when in reality he was a trauma-addled, disconnected human that wasn't interested in improving?? It was always a formula that put the fixing on the women/girls. And it's not 'woke stuff' that won it for Trump, it's good old fashioned racism and misogyny.

While I agree with you about the bad boy trope, where is this in Snow White?

I think my issue is more that the actress seems to discount the valid and completely normal desire to find love and get married. Is a woman who dreams of marriage and being a wife and mother less than the woman who pursues becoming a high-powered attorney? Her dismissal of the original film (which again, is a children’s fairy tale) by saying something along the lines of ‘THIS movie is not about finding love, it’s about becoming a leader’ seems to imply that one option is less than. Just to me it came off that way.
