Disney Remakes Snow White with Kung Fu?

According to Hollywood Reporter, Michael Chabon will write a retell of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” for Walt Disney Pictures. Hong Kong director Yuen Wo Ping will make his English language directorial debut on the film, which Andrew Gunn is producing. Snow and the Seven will be set in 1880s British colonial China and will have fantasy and martial arts elements, with the “seven” being Shaolin monks. The story will hearken back to aspects of the original Grimm Brothers’ fairy tale.
