Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:DIS) found itself on the defensive earlier this week after actor Peter Dinklage berated the company for its planned live-action remake of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.”
However, the timing of Dinklage’s angry remarks — which generated international headlines — is more than a bit curious. Indeed, one has to question whether the actor’s criticism of Disney has less to do with the potentially insensitive treatment of the classic short-statured septet or if Dinklage is trying to keep himself in the spotlight with a new vehicle that hasn't exactly generated “Game of Thrones”-level excitement.
