editOn October 16, 2023, concurrent with the centennial of the founding of Disney, Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boreing announced the launch of a children's content service known as Bentkey, available that day. In the announcement, Boreing accused Disney of pushing "all the worst excesses of the woke Left".[3]
Coinciding with the release of Bentkey, Boreing announced the production of a live-action adaptation of the original Snow White story, Snow White and the Evil Queen.[1] The announcement came after what The Hollywood Reporter described as a right-wing backlash against Disney's upcoming Snow White remake.[1][4][5] Boreing said that the film would be about "a princess and a prince, about beauty and vanity, about love and its power to raise us from death to life."[6] It will be the first feature-length production by the Bentkey brand.
The film was originally to star Daily Wire commentator Brett Cooper as Snow White.[7] However, on December 10, 2024, Cooper announced her departure from The Daily Wire effective immediately following the end of her last video published that same day.[8]
Release
editThe film is expected to be released in 2025.[9]
