DISNEY’S SNOW WHITE

DISNEY’S SNOW WHITE

Disney’s Snow White,[2][7] or simply Snow White, is a 2025 American musical fantasy film directed by Marc Webb and written by Erin Cressida Wilson.[8] Produced by Walt Disney Pictures and Marc Platt Productions, it is a live-action reimagining[9] of Walt Disney Productions‘s 1937 animated film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, which itself is based on the 1812 fairy tale “Snow White” by the Brothers Grimm. The film stars Rachel Zegler in the title role, alongside Andrew Burnap and Gal Gadot.

Plans for a remake of 1937’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs were confirmed in October 2016, with Wilson announced as a screenwriter. Webb entered talks to direct the film in May 2019 and was announced as director in September 2019. Filming took place primarily in London, England, from March to July 2022, with additional filming and pick-ups taking place in June 2024. The film elicited pre-release controversies, with criticism levied against the color-blind casting, story changes, Zegler’s public critiques of the original film, and reimagining of the Seven Dwarfs.

Snow White premiered at Alcázar of Segovia in Segovia, Spain on March 12, 2025, and is scheduled to be released in theaters in the United States by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures on March 21, 2025.

SECRET MALL APARTMENT

SECRET MALL APARTMENT

Secret Mall Apartment is a 2024 American documentary film directed by filmmaker Jeremy Workman that recounts the story of a group of young Rhode Islanders who built a secret apartment inside the bustling Providence Place shopping mall in Providence, Rhode Island, in 2003, living there for four years until getting caught and charged with trespassing in 2007.[1][2][3]

The group filmed much of their activity in the secret apartment with inexpensive Pentax Optio cameras they purchased at the mall’s RadioShack and concealed in Altoids tins.[4] The story of the secret apartment had been an urban legend for many years [5], and the documentary brought together the original 8 participants for the first time in 17 years.[6]

Secret Mall Apartment marks the second collaboration between Workman and actor Jesse Eisenberg, one of the film’s producers. [7][8]Previously, Eisenberg produced Workman’s 2018 documentary The World Before Your Feet.

Synopsis

The film tells the true story of eight Rhode Islanders who built and lived in a secret apartment in a busy local mall from 2003 to 2007.[9]

Background

Further information: Providence Place § Secret apartment

According to the main subject, Michael Townsend, after the story broke in 2007, several Hollywood production companies approached him about making a film. For nearly 15 years, he and his fellow artists turned down “north of 30 directors” who wanted to make a documentary on the story. [10]Finally, in 2019, after meeting director Jeremy Workman in Greece, Townsend felt he had finally found a director who could tell the story properly, depicting how the group’s outside public artwork intersected with the larger ideas of the secret apartment. [11]In interviews, Workman has talked about seeing the secret apartment as “the Trojan Horse” to explore deeper ideas about passion and purpose.[6]
