The live-action version of the classic fairy-tale animation sounded like a surefire hit. But even before it's reached cinemas, the response to it has been loud and often hostile.

The live-action version of the 1937 animated classic has been the focus of controversy, as the film's Saturday premiere will not include journalists on the red carpet.

Snow White premiered in Los Angeles on Saturday, with stars Gal Gadot and Rachel Zegler in attendance. Despite reports of them not bonding well together, the two stars smiled and posed for pictures together at the red carpet.
