While many are enthusiastic for the forthcoming film, which will be released next year, it’s evident that the actor playing the titular role, Rachel Zegler, has some thoughts on the original film, which is now more than eight decades old after initially being published in 1937.
Zegler, 22, has pointed out numerous flaws in the original premise, calling it “creepy and stalker-ish.” Look at this:
Marc Webb is directing the next American musical fantasy film, and Greta Gerwig and Erin Cressida Wilson wrote the screenplay.
In an interview with Extra TV, the West Side Story actor claimed she wasn’t a fan of either the original Disney princess or the prince, who would be played by star Andrew Burnap, labeling him a’stalker’.
In the interview Zegler said:
“The original cartoon came out in 1937, and very evidently so. There’s a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her. Weird! Weird! So we didn’t do that this time,”.
