Steven Spielberg Had A Wild Snow White Movie Pitch That Never Got Made

The first published version of “Snow White” decreased in 1812, as it was composed by Wilhelm and Jacob Grim. However, Grimm Brothers rewrites the story in 1854, and this is the version that most audience knows. The story focuses on an evil queen of frustration with a magic mirror that gives her daily assurances. When you ask whether it was justice (simultaneously when the pale skin was a sign of beauty), the mirror was responding to it. Then the poet of the evil queen is boycotted by the birth of a young virgin named Snow White for her fairness. To keep her informal title for the best on earth, the Queen aims to kill Snow White. Her plans included servants, talismans, and a house inhabited by seven mines.

“Snow White” has been adapted to other means several times since. There are poems, opera, comic books, video games and many film versions from The Fair Tale. The movie, of course, is the animation released by Disney in 1937. In fact, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves” was the first animated feature produced by Disney, which opened one of the most powerful animation studios in the world.

However, Jolie, there are a lot of “Snow White” movies. There was dust shaking the period called “Snow White and Hinsmann”, which was released in 2012, and which was in the same year in which the strange “mirror of the mirror” appeared. There was also “Sydney White” for the year 2007, and it was a re -imagination at the time starring Amanda Benz. In fact, a decade ago, there was even that there is a focus on horror in the story that was made in the form of “Snow White: A Tale of Terror” in 1997 (Sigourney Weaver starring as an evil queen). This is all at the top of the multiple “Snow White” films that were released in the twentieth and thirties. It is a reliable source of inspiration.

It seems that in 1969, it was aimed at creatal to create its updated “Snow White” version, which was placed in an apartment in the middle city at the time. More importantly, an old article from the New York Times reveals that Stephen Spielberg is 24 years old, who was contacted to direct it.

It should be noted that in 1969, Stephen Spielberg, 23, had only removed some short pants and a single amateur feature entitled “Firelight”, which he shot when he was 17 years old. He had also led an episode of “Night Gallery”, but he was still two years away from “Duel” for 1971, his first professional feature film. (After three years, he was outside and running with “The Sugarland Express.”)

Nevertheless, Universal seems to want the young Spielberg a “white snow” movie based on the power of “Amblin” alone. According to the New York Times Old’s article, “Snow White” from Universal was about a modern White snow “shared her apartment in San Francisco with seven young men while she was waiting for her prince’s appearance.” This does not seem completely different from “Sydney White”. Given that it was developed in 1969, most likely, it was likely to be more amazing and “swinging”.

However, the project collapsed in the hands of Universal. Spielberg did not make any serious work on “Snow White” before moving to better films for Universal. (“Duel”, “The Sugarland Express”, and the top of the directed SPIELBERG thickness called “Jaws” was put up by the studio in the contract that followed.)

But Spielberg was not done in “Snow White”. Decades later, director Mark Webb operated Rachel Ziegler in his 2025 movie “Snow White” after Spielberg gave the actor what she described as a “truly glowing recommendation” during the emergence of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” (With Spielberg he previously worked with Zegler to adapt it to “West Side Story”). Zegler is a great and talented singer, so one may not likely need a web in the way to convincing her to employ her.

It may take 56 years, but it seems that Spielberg has found a way to put it on “Snow White”. Well, somewhat.
