The film has been done for around two years now. Done as in it premiered at a film fest in 2023. I think it just recently got US distribution for later this year.

Are you kidding me? The guy bitched about casting actual dwarves in the fricking holy grail of dwarf actor role opportunity.

Imagine being 1) A dwarf, 2) An actor and finding out they were making a Disney live action Snow White and the seven Dwarves. Then imagine they elect to go with CGI to not offend you.

Little a-hole of a gatekeeper.

Um... He's the entire reason that they had normal sized actors playing caricatures of dwarves. That's 100% on him.

None of which was even close to being as dumb as your post was.

This just a short period of time since a Movie that depicted an office full of people throwing dwarfs wearing Velcro at a giant target was nominated for 5 Oscars including best picture.

Wow. You really thought you wanted this to be the first response in this thread.

I'm honestly shocked anyone is this unaware of how Dinklage boxed other "little people" out of a job with his Snow White advocacy.

Not sure why Dinklage did all that


He didn't want one of the dwarves actors to become a breakout star and replace him as THE guy in Hollywood.

You don’t think there’s a reason Peter Jackson used normal actors and camera tricks for the dwarves in Lord of the Rings?

Let's be honest. The dwarves in the original cartoon look closer to dwarves in our everyday lives than the ones in Middle Earth.

Little people were used for the hobbits. In certain shots. But not in the character roles.

Don't forget about the little dude from Bad Santa. How great would that have been in GoT?
