On 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

The film is expected to be released in 2025. [9]
