Snowhite film

Discovered this as a little extra in an article about another movie Arcadia to produce 'Blackthorn':

Rolling in May, and backed by Eurimages funding, "Snowhite" reps a comedy makeover of the Snow White fairytale, transposing it to 1920s Seville. Maribel Verdu ("Tetro") will play the evil stepmother, Cormenzana said. The dwarfs perform as circus bullfighters.

Budgeted at $7.2 million, "Snowhite" will be co-produced with France’s Noodles Prods.

Arcadia is one of the two or three Spanish companies regularly tapping tax breaks in Spain. Tax money reps of 15%-20% of films’ financing, Cormenzana said. Money is channeled through Agrupaciones de Interes Economico — tax deduction companies — which act as official producers on films.

I assume this will be in Spanish, but it's something to look for in the future. Interesting interpretation, definitely. Never really saw the dwarfs as bullfighters before myself.
