'Snow White' set for live-action update

Walt Disney Studios adds "Snow White" to its list of fairy-tale remakes

Disney is to remake "Snow White" as a live-action version with original songs for the musical re-envisioning.

With the project still in its early stages, no actresses or actors were named, nor production or release dates given in The Hollywood Reporter's dispatch.

But Erin Cressida Wilson of "The Girl on the Train" has been approached to write the new treatment, and Benj Pasek and Justin Paul of "La La Land" are on composition duties.

Disney has recently presided over remakes of "The Jungle Book," "Cinderella," and an alternate reading of the Snow White fable in "Maleficent," with "Beauty and the Beast" anticipated for March 2017 and "Mulan" the following year, among others.
