Talk about potential for suckage. Disney plans a live action 'Snow White', with the dwarves as 19th century Shaolin monks. Of course, the film could work because of the wacky martial arts mayhem from the tiny monks. I think the casting of basketball star Sleepy Floyd is gimmicky, even if they do make him look short, but Danny DeVito is said to be brilliant as Grumpy, and Christian Slater is uncommonly affecting in his portrayal of the enigmatic Sneezy, showing us the tears behind the tragic sneezing disease. The Oscars are being dusted off once again for Linda Hunt, who plays three men this time, Doc, Dopey, and Bashful. The only casting I'm really not sure about is Charlie Sheen as former baseball star "Happy" Felsch, recreating his role from "Eight Men Out". It's not so much that he doesn't look Chinese, as that Sheen, while not an especially towering man, just seems to damned tall to be a dwarf.
