That would give me nightmares if I went to see it and I don’t think that’s what Disney is going for.
Peter Dinklage can get seriously fucked for being directly responsible for this nightmare. Way to pull the ladder (and the stack of books you used to reach the ladder) up behind you, Pete.
Sorry I don’t understand how the article you linked implies what you’re saying. Is there some context I’m missing?
From my understanding, Peter blasted Hollywood for wanting to use little people to cast as dwarves. The little people actors in Hollywood were pissed at Peter because that’s like the only roles they ever get. Now instead of using real people they use CGI, so Peter basically stole seven roles from real actors in Hollywood.
So instead, they just… CGI’d dwarves? How is that any better?
I remember seeing promo or set photos of actual people that still didn’t seem much better.
Edit: Ah, this was the image.
When they went CGI they also took 6 roles from any actors because they are having one person do all the motion capture.
This is entirely Disney’s fault for missing the point about steretypes and making it about casting so they could hire fewer actors.
As i remember it, Disney announced the movie, Dinklage ranted about “backwards fucking stereotypes,” Disney backpedaled to Snow White and the Seven Magical Creatures which was massively ridiculed, and so they settled on CGI dwarves. That’s seven roles for LP that just evaporated to soothe one guy.
The link wasn’t the best and I’ll need to wait until after coffee next time.
Which is entirely Disney’s fault. Dinklage was complaining about the story being a backwards-ass story about a bunch of dwarves stuffed into a tiny house and obsessing over the first woman they see. His complaints had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with whether those dwarves were CG or played by LP. It’s incredibly unlikely that Disney ever planned on hiring LP actors for the dwarves to begin with, but if they took the complete wrong point from Dinklage’s criticism and changed direction over it, it’s certainly not his fault.

I fail to see how this is Peter’s fault… Especially with the article you’ve linked…
Why are adults still watching this? It’s a cash grab. Let the kids watch it.
It would definitely give me nightmares if I were a kid.
You don’t find those dwarves horrifying?
They should, but unfortunately today’s parents have been convinced that the world is extremely dangerous and that letting their children go outside to have adventures and build their confidence is “bad parenting”.
I don’t think it’s bad parenting to not leave a 5-year-old alone in a movie theater. Not unless you expect the theater staff to parent on your behalf if that 5-year-old gets bored and decides to leave.
Just take the your copy of the original movie DVD and say you already own a license for it and demand to be let in for free
I mean, people didn’t cry about Lord of A Rings because of Gimly the Dwarve. Pretty sure Luciano Pavarotti wasn’t a shorty
Luciano Pavarotti wasn’t a shorty
This comment confused the heck out of me. Gimli was played by John Rhys-Davies, and that actor is still alive.
I don’t get it, the dwarfs look white enough to me /s
Does the new movie still have the scene where they wash the dwarfs clean? That could interesting to see. …
