Marc Webb, director of The Amazing Spider-Man, Gifted and 500 Days of Summer, is reportedly Disney’s top choice to helm a live-action remake of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Reported by Variety, Webb is currently in talks with Disney for this position. Erin Cressida Wilson, known for her work on The Girl on the Train, is in negotiations to write the film’s script. The project is said to expand on the original film’s story and music, with La La Land and The Greatest Showman’s Benj Pasek and Justin Paul set to write new songs. Marc Platt is signed on to produce. Disney revealed this live-action adaptation was in the works back in 2016.
