The live-action retelling of the classic tale “Snow White” by Disney is scheduled for release on March 21, 2025. This modernized version promises a fresh take on the story, focusing more attention on the malevolent character, the Evil Queen, portrayed by Gal Gadot. Despite earlier trailers receiving negative feedback regarding aspects like CGI dwarfs and casting choices such as Rachel Zegler in the lead role, the latest trailer seems to redirect some emphasis away from Snow White herself.

In “The Return,” Ralph Fiennes not only sculpted a muscular physique, but also gave an outstanding performance. Directed by Uberto Pasolini, this film is a modern interpretation of Homer’s epic poem, “The Odyssey.” Fiennes portrays an older Odysseus who returns to the shores of Ithaca following a 20-year voyage. During his absence, his kingdom has undergone dramatic transformations, with his wife Penelope (Juliette Binoche) receiving suitors vying for the throne. However, despite these advances, Penelope remained faithful, and upon returning, Odysseus must verify his identity to reclaim his kingdom.

Josh Brolin, throughout his career, has taken part in some unusual films. This could be due to his unconventional upbringing, which Josh himself recently disclosed wasn’t always glamorous, despite being the son of renowned actor James Brolin. Besides standout performances in films like No Country for Old Men, The Goonies, and Dune, Brolin has also ventured into some peculiar roles, such as the debated remake of Spike Lee’s Oldboy, Robert Rodriguez’s Planet Terror, and the largely forgotten Jonah Hex. Although Josh is the son of James Brolin, who is widely recognized for his TV roles in M.D. and Hotel. Despite their appearances as a powerful Hollywood father-and-son duo, their relationship might have experienced strains at times.

When considering Disney films, it’s likely that images of children’s animated productions come to mind. However, it is indeed accurate. For many years, Disney has been producing family-friendly content, encompassing timeless classics such as “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” and “Beauty and the Beast,” along with recent hits like “Frozen” and “Moana.” While these are some of the titles that may spring to mind, there’s a wealth of other movies on Disney+, including content tailored for a slightly older, more mature audience.
