Rachel Zegler Joins New Project After Controversial Snow White Remake

2025 was anticipated to be a thrilling year for Rachel Zegler, as she officially transformed into a Disney Princess in the newly released remake. Nevertheless, this project turned out to be highly contentious, and now, Zegler is choosing to focus on other opportunities.

After the less-than-stellar reception of Snow White, which has been met with harsh criticism and poor box office numbers, I’m thrilled to announce that Rachel Zegler has found her next project! According to recent reports, Zegler will team up with Spider-Man’s Marisa Tomei in the upcoming comedy-drama titled She Gets It From Me. In this heartwarming tale, we’ll see both actresses bring to life a charming mother-daughter duo. I can’t wait to see these talented ladies shine on the big screen!

Forthcoming movie, “She Gets It From Me,” is helmed by director Julia von Heinz who previously directed the films “Treasure” (2024) and Germany’s 2021 Oscar entry, “And Tomorrow the Entire World“. The script was penned by Jay Reiss, known for his Tony Award-winning work on “The Twenty Fifth Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” (2011) and the film “The Oranges“. Embankment will initiate global pre-sales at Cannes. Production companies 3311 Productions, Anna Werner from Seven Elephants, and Reiss are collaborating on this project.

The upcoming comedy-drama movie titled “She Gets It From Me” is loosely inspired by real events. The story revolves around Nicky (Zegler), whose party for celebrating her engagement unexpectedly turns into a quest to find her birth mother, Charlotte (Tomei). In a series of unconventional and emotional moments, the two embark on a journey to rebuild their relationship.

On YouTube, there are numerous heartwarming family reunion videos, yet few capture the untidy scenes that follow.

In a statement, the director of the film “She Gets It From Me” remarked, “The movie’s emotional truth resonates with us all, making it both hilarious and deeply engaging. The script by Jay masterfully portrays family dynamics in a way that feels incredibly genuine: it’s absurd yet insightful, chaotic yet significant. The blend of these two worlds results in comedy that’s poignant because it’s so truthful.

Rachel Zegler Received High Praise

As a die-hard film enthusiast, I found my big break when I landed a remarkable role in Steven Spielberg’s adaptation of the timeless classic, West Side Story. This pivotal part catapulted me into the spotlight and even earned me a coveted Golden Globe. Continuing to push boundaries, I delved into the captivating world of The Hunger Games with a role in the prequel, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. Most recently, I’ve added another enchanting tale to my repertoire, playing a part in the retelling of Snow White.

Producer Jen Dana highly commended Zegler, stating, “Rachel consistently delivers depth and genuine emotion in her performances, and we can’t wait to see more of her talent, particularly her range and wit, on display.

Hugo Grumbar from Embankment exclaimed, “What could be more exciting than discovering your birth mother is the talented Marisa Tomei!” Tomei won an Oscar for her performance in “My Cousin Vinny” in 1992 and was nominated for two more. Lately, she has portrayed Aunt May in the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe’s “Spider-Man” movies.
