Snow White (2025 film)

Disney's Snow White, directed by Marc Webb and written by Erin Cressida Wilson, is a 2025 American musical fantasy film produced by Walt Disney Pictures and Marc Platt Productions. This live-action reimagining draws inspiration from Walt Disney's original animated classic, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, which is based on the Brothers Grimm's 1812 fairy tale "Snow White." The film stars Rachel Zegler in the titular role, alongside Andrew Burnap and Gal Gadot. The story follows the pure-hearted Snow White as she teams up with seven dwarfs and a bandit named Jonathan to liberate her kingdom from the grasp of her cruel stepmother. Plans for this remake were confirmed in October 2016, with Wilson announced as the screenwriter. Webb entered negotiations to direct in May 2019 and was officially named director in September 2019. Principal photography took place primarily in London, England, from March to July 2022, followed by additional filming and pick-ups in June 2024. With an estimated production budget of $240–270 million, Snow White ranks among the most expensive films ever made and is Disney's fifteenth most costly project to date.
