Snow White & Huntsman (2012)

[Aya_Alexa]

Director: Rupert Sanders
Writer: Evan Daugherty
Cast: Charlize Theron, Viggo Mortensen, Kristen Stewart

The original story: Collected by the Brothers Grimm, the tale of Snow White begins with the birth of Princess Snow White, and the death of her mother, the Queen. The King marries again and his new wife, the evil Queen, owns a magical mirror that will answer any question. The evil Queen often asks: “Mirror, mirror on the wall / Who in the land is fairest of all?” to which the mirror always replies: “You, my queen, are fairest of all.” On Snow White’s seventh birthday however, the mirror replies that Snow White is the fairest of them all, and so the Queen orders a huntsman to kill Snow White. The huntsman is unable to kill Snow White and instead tells her to flee and hide. She soon finds a cottage where she can rest, but that evening the owners, seven Dwarfs, return home. Snow White becomes their maid, but when the magic mirror tells the evil Queen that Snow White is still the fairest in the land, the evil Queen attempts to kill Snow White herself. During the third attempts the evil Queen offers Snow White a poisoned apple which is accepted. When the Dwarfs arrive home to find Snow White dead, they put her in a glass coffin but will not bury her. Soon, a Prince arrives and when Snow White’s glass coffin is accidentally broken, she awakes.

The version you probably know: The famous 1937 Disney animated feature, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. In this version, Snow White wakes from death as soon as the prince kisses her, and furthermore, the prince and Snow White have met prior.

And coming soon to a theater near you: Score one for Girl Power, as Snow White is no damsel in distress here. Going on the run with the Huntsman, the delicate beauty insists that he teach her self defense so she can protect herself without needing a man all the time. Kristen Stewart and all her emo attitude certainly represents a departure from the girly and innocent Snow White of classic fairy tales, while Viggo Mortensen adds some serious acting cred and rugged sex appeal. The creative team behind the camera are much greener, with director Sanders making his feature debut on the $100+ million film, and screenwriter Daugherty only having written one short four years ago. Sounds like a lot will rest on the onscreen talent, perhaps why Universal didn’t feel comfortable going with an unknown in the title role, and pursued biggest teen movie star on the planet Stewart instead.

Viggo Mortensen Drops SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN



The Hollywood Reporter say talks between Universal and Viggo Mortensen broke down on Thursday night and the LOTR actor looks to have dropped his interest in playing The Huntsman role in Snow White and the Huntsman, a fantasy re-imagining of the classic fable which has Kirsten Stewart attached as Snow White to be tormented by Charlize Theron’s Evil Queen. A rumour is circulating that Mortensen’s $8 million fee (plus a gross participation %) was always seen as too much in Universal’s eye for the actor who has chosen post-Aragon to be a leading man in profound, character-driven fare over enjoying a mainstream, commercial career.

Which is why we thought his attachment to a live-action Snow White movie was so peculiar in the first place.


THR also suggest recent reports that the actor was a ‘person of interest’ at Warner Bros for the Superman villain role in Zack Snyder’s forthcoming reboot were brought about, perhaps, as a bit of a naughty negotiation ploy to put pressure on Universal to come up with the money – as the story circulated when talks first broke broke down between the two parties.

Snow White Producer Joe Roth is now scrambling around for a replacement and essentially he is casting the part for the fifth time after losing out on Tom Hardy, Johnny Depp and Michael Fassbender, who he previously had set his eyes on. And then there’s the added pressure too of Tarsem Singh’s own Snow White re-imagining – The Brothers Grimm: Snow White which has Julia Roberts set to lead as the Evil Queen looming over his head, and will be released a whole six months before Snow White and the Huntsman (Grimm due June 29th 2012, Huntsmen Dec 21st) and is probably looking for an actor to play the same role right now.

I imagine Roth won’t be enjoying much of a weekend off and will be making a fair few phone calls today to find a suitable leading man who has a free schedule and with Stewart/Theron still attached, the first time feature from commercials helmer Rupert Sanders is still in a healthy position, considering.

Ironically, Mortensen who probably wasn’t at all interested in the Superman movie when the stories of his interest were circling a few weeks back, now has a free schedule and could be. So he’s probably yours for $8 million and a few strings attached Mr. Snyder.

He would make a terrific Zod… but then again so would Edgar Ramirez and Michael Shannon, and they might not cost so much….

Universal Targets Hugh Jackman For 'Snow White And The Huntsman'



Sensing a possible opening with Hugh Jackman because The Wolverine lost its director and a plan to shoot in Japan turned precarious, Universal Pictures has offered Jackman the huntsman role in Snow White and the Huntsman. The Rupert Sanders-directed film has Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron ready to star. Also, I've heard Universal is in talks with Hossein Amini to come aboard and do some script work on a project slated to begin production mid-September.

Whether Jackman accepts is unclear. Jackman would obviously have to be paid a premium to pump up the star power of a film that will reach theaters after its rival, Relativity Media's The Brothers Grimm: Snow White. That film has Julia Roberts playing the evil queen, but unproven thesps Armie Hammer and Lily Collins in the leads. Clearly, Jackman's priority is his signature razor-clawed X-Men mutant hero. He has been very hands on developing The Wolverine with screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie, and he himself drafted Darren Aronofsky, who exited earlier this month. Jackman and the studio are just getting started on finding a replacement. I've heard names like Duncan Jones, director of the well-reviewed Source Code, and David Slade, the Twilight Saga: Eclipse helmer who was in the mix before Aronofsky got hired.

What makes Huntsman a possibility is that Fox doesn't have to rush The Wolverine. The studio is bullish on this summer's X-Men Origins: First Class to keep the franchise vibrant, and Fox has plenty of tent pole action for 2012. The studio has already slotted the Ridley Scott-directed Prometheus, the Timur Bekmambetov-directed Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, and Ice Age 4. In addition, Japan is still sorting through the aftermath of its natural disaster, and a majority of The Wolverine was scripted to be shot there.

The huntsman role was vacated by Viggo Mortensen. While some reports attributed his exit to money, I hear different. Mortensen was prepping to start the Spanish-language film Todos tenemos un plan, and dropped out of Huntsman when a rewrite veered from what he had expected. He won't finish the Spanish-language film until mid-August, and Huntsman starts shooting a month later. Who said it's easy to juggle the pieces of tent poles?

3 Snow Whites & The 21 Dwarves



Fairy Tales are hot right now. They’re like, the new board games.

Okay, so, Red Riding Hood is coming up from the director of Twilight, starring Amanda Seyfried. Hansel and Gretel: With Hunters is also gearing up, starring Gemma Arterton and Jeremy Renner. I’m sorry, Academy Award nominee Jeremy Renner. And now, in addition to Universal’s Snow White and the Huntsman and Relativity’s The Brothers Grimm: Snow White, Disney are developing Snow and the Seven.

That’s right, not one, not two, but three movies about the same fairy tale are in the pipeline. Hollywood logic at its finest. If it’s hot right now, or we think it might be hot soon, then we have to have one. Even if it’s the EXACT SAME ONE. This takes the whole Dueling Movies thing to a whole new level. This is madness!

Snow White and the Huntsman is set to star Kristen Stewart, Viggo Mortensen and Charlize Theron; The Brothers Grimm: Snow White is to be directed by Tarsem; and Disney’s new spin on the tale sees Snow White visiting Hong Kong. Do any of these float our boat? I expect Tarsem’s will be something special. Well, as special as it can be in this situation…

[Aya_Alexa]

After Viggo Mortensen walked away from the negotiations table at the end of last month, it looked for some time that Universal's big-budget project Snow White and the Huntsman might be able to snag an even bigger star to replace him, thanks to reports that Hugh Jackman was interested in the role. But now that contingency plan has fallen through as well-- The Wrap reports that negotiations with Jackman have ended after starting last week.

That leaves the film without either of the two leads in place-- though Kristen Stewart has been in mind for the part of Snow White for months, her deal is not yet confirmed. The only actor truly in place is Charlize Theron, who has signed on to play the Evil Queen in the film that Rupert Sanders will direct. Remember not to confuse this with the other movie based on the same fairy tale, simply titled Snow White, which will star Lily Collins and Armie Hammer and be directed by The Fall's Tarsem Singh.

All signs point to Universal moving ahead with the planned August shoot and December 21, 2012 release date for Snow White and the Huntsman, but they're going to have to wrangle some other handsome dark-haired actors to jump on board quickly. Mortensen reportedly walked away due to salary concerns, and it's unclear why Jackman also bailed, though it's possible that means there's new life in The Wolverine, the superhero project Jackman presumably has to make as soon as they line up a director.

Snow White (Stewart), is an incredible beautiful young woman with raven hair, fair skin, and ruby red lips. Snow White's beauty is ultimately its own
curse because, when she becomes the fairest in the land, she becomes a threat to her step-mother Ravenna (Theron). Snow White loves Prince
Charmant, a boy of the same age who she was separated from as a teen. Snow White has been forced to live under the hard rules of Ravenna
where her only friends were the animals that would come to see her. Snow White's life is turned upside down when Ravenna discovers that Snow
White is about to become the fairest. She's driven from the castle and Eric is sent to kill her. Eric is a huntsman who is haunted by the death of his
wife, Sara. He was deeply in love and cannot silence the pain caused by her loss. He drinks heavily and spends his days hunting for the White Wolf
that killed Sara. He is purely mercenary, taking the money Ravenna offers to bring the most beautiful maidens in the land to the castle. However,
when Eric discovers that the White Wolf works for Ravenna, he escapes with Snow White to the Dark Forest and begins preparing to get his revenge.

SWATH Update: New Release Date Announced. June 1, 2012

Updated! From Taryn Ryder- Celelebuzz ( http://www.celebuzz.com/2011-05-16/k...film-moves-up/ )

Kristen Stewart‘s Snow White and the Huntsman will not interfere with promotion for Breaking Dawn.

In a brilliant move by Universal, EW reports they have moved up the release date of the film by six months! Not only does this beat rival Relativity’s Snow White (with Julia Roberts) release date by four weeks, but now production can get rolling earlier because Stewart’s availability for filming was in jeopardy.

As you Twi-Hards know, Breaking Dawn Part 1 comes out in November 18, 2011 and Kristen and Robert Pattinson will have the most promotional duties leading up to it. Now, with Snow White‘s earlier release date, studio sources tell us they are moving up filming at least a month to early August rather than September.



Deadline ( http://www.deadline.com/2011/05/snow...ativity-rival/ )

BREAKING: Since neither Universal Pictures nor Relativity Media are blinking about going ahead with rival Snow White films, it seemed inevitable that Universal would not be content for its film to come out six months later. So the studio has just swapped release dates of Judd Apatow's next untitled film (which was supposed to come out June 1), and has given that June 1, 2012 date to Snow White and the Huntsman. At present, Relativity Media's film, The Brothers Grimm: Snow White, is dated for June 29, 2012 with shooting to begin in August. We'll have to see whether Ryan Kavanaugh's film division reconsiders. That Tarsem Singh-directed film stars Julia Roberts, Lily Collins, Armie Hammer and Nathan Lane. The lesson of rival films about Truman Capote and In Cold Blood echoes loudly here. Capote came out first, won an Oscar for Philip Seymour Hoffman, and nobody cared when Infamous came out later. Being the second film on the same subject is perilous and when that prospect faced Baz Luhrmann and Dino De Laurentiis on their Alexander the Great movie because Oliver Stone beat them to the start gate, the project was scrapped.

Universal's decision comes days after the studio finally set Thor star Chris Hemsworth as its Huntsman, which Deadline was the first to reveal would happen. He joins Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron and Sam Claflin. Apatow's film moves back to December, 2012 on the release calendar.


-----------------------

UNIVERSAL CITY, CA, May 15, 2011 – Universal Pictures announced today that its epic action-adventure Snow White and the Huntsman will make a bold move into the early summer movie season with its new release date of June 1, 2012. The much anticipated film stars Twilight’s Kristen Stewart, Academy Award® winner Charlize Theron, Thor’s Chris Hemsworth and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides’ Sam Claflin.

This breathtaking new vision of the legendary tale from Joe Roth, the producer of Alice in Wonderland, and acclaimed commercial director and state-of-the-art visualist Rupert Sanders (Halo 3 campaign) had originally been set for release in late December of next year. With adjustments to the production timeline, however, the film will now be ready for a summer 2012 release date.

In Snow White and the Huntsman, Stewart plays the only person in the land fairer than the evil queen (Theron) who is out to destroy her. But what the wicked ruler never imagined is that the one girl threatening her reign has been training in the art of war with a huntsman (Hemsworth) who was dispatched to kill her. Claflin plays the prince long enchanted by Snow White's beauty and power.

“As Rupert and Joe were finalizing casting and preproduction of Snow White and the Huntsman, we realized that the ambitious and fully-formed world they had promised was blowing away all expectations,” said Universal Chairman Adam Fogelson and Co-Chairman Donna Langley in a joint statement. “We’re thrilled that Universal will be bringing this singular version of a timeless story almost seven months earlier than anticipated.”

Sam Claflin Crowned Prince For 'Snow White And The Huntsman'

Universal Pictures is setting Sam Claflin to play the role of the prince in Snow White and the Huntsman, the Rupert Sanders-directed re-imagining of the fairy tale that stars Kristen Stewart as Snow White and Charlize Theron as the evil queen. The studio is still working on its huntsman, and as Deadline was the first to tell you, the offer is with Thor star Chris Hemsworth. Claflin just starred in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and he just landed the title role opposite Jeff Bridges and Julianne Moore in the Warner Bros/Legendary supernatural thriller The Seventh Son. Claflin will make that film next and then start work in Snow White and the Huntsman. CAA reps him.


Sam Claflin (English actor) also played in "The Pillars of the Earth" with Robsten friend Eddie Redmayne
It was a Starz cable channel miniseries
Here: being prince-y

Mighty Thor Chris Hemsworth To Star Opposite Kristen Stewart: Closes 'Huntsman' Role In Snow White Saga




EXCLUSIVE: Now that 'Thor' opened strongly around the world, its star Chris Hemsworth is one hot Aussie hunk. He's just closed a deal for the good guy role opposite Twilight Saga starlet Kristen Stewart as the Huntsman in Snow White And The Huntsman which is Universal's version of the fairy tale. Newcomer Hemsworth and his good looks allowed for heavy PR to drum up appeal for Thor among women with his shirtless clip a popular choice for talk shows with large female audiences. He's repped by IFA talent management and ROAR management partner and co-founder William Ward who talent-spotted Chris during one of the manager's many scouting trips to Australia. Ward brought him to Los Angeles and really put him out there to casting directors and production executives. Chris read for the part of Thor but wasn't given a test because a casting director had nixed him early on. Chris' younger brother Liam (who's also a ROAR client) then tested for the role of Thor, but Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige passed. Then, after a conversation with Ward ("You've got to reconsider Chris, he's your guy"), Feige decided to let Chris read again. And once Marvel put him on tape, it was "Oh my god". Hemsworth is in Joss Whedon's UA-orphaned Cabin In The Woods which just got picked up by Lionsgate, is the lead in that Red Dawn remake, and played "George Kirk" in J.J. Abrams' Star Trek reboot. Down under, he played "Kim Hyde" on 171 episodes of Home and Away, the successful Oz TV series where Heath Ledger started.

Charlize Theron To Play Evil Queen In 'Snow White And The Huntsman'




Mirror mirror, on the wall, after long negotiations, she's the most evil of them all: Charlize Theron has signed on to play the Evil Queen in the upcoming big screen film, 'Snow White and the Huntsman,' Deadline reports.

In mid-December, Deadline reported that Theron was in talks for the retelling of the classic fairy tale, which will focus on the huntsman that is charged with taking Snow White to the forest and killing her. Instead, Snow White begins to train under the Huntsman, presumably to take on Theron's Evil Queen.

Theron, of course, has plenty of experience playing evil; she won an Academy Award for her portrayal of a serial killer in the film 'Monster.'

Also in December, The Hollywood Reporter speculated on the possible actresses for Snow White in that film. Producers, they said, had decided on seeking out more of an unknown to play the princess, with Riley Keough, Elvis Presley's granddaughter, a leading candidate.

By taking on the Evil Queen role, Theron is passing on the opportunity to play a major part in Clint Eastwood's star-studded upcoming film 'J. Edgar,' which stars Leonardo DiCaprio as former FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover. Theron had been in talks to play Helen Gandy, a loyal FBI agent who tried to destroy Hoover's more incriminating, personal records following his death.

TOLDJA! Kristen Stewart Closing 'Snow White' Deal
article as of 3/4/2011



Deadline was first to tell you in January that despite Universal Pictures' testing of young actresses, Twilight Saga's Kristen Stewart had materialized as a likely candidate to play the lead role in the Rupert Sanders-directed Snow White and the Hunstman. Now, Palek Patel, who's producing with Joe Roth, has tweeted that she's in final negotiations to star with Charlize Theron and Viggo Mortensen in the rebooted fairy tale that's going head to head with Relativity Media's The Brothers Grimm: Snow White, which will star Julia Roberts. Gersh-repped Stewart will complete production on the final Twilight installment at the end of April, and will shoot Snow White in August.

Which Snow White Is Which? Blood 'n' Guts vs. Bloody Fun!
Today 7:01 AM PDT by Ted Casablanca and John Boone




With so many fairy tales to choose from, it's pretty funny (or just competitive biz as usual) that two flicks centered on Snow White and her escapades are going to hit the big screen around the same time: Universal's Snow White and the Huntsman and Relativity Media's The Brothers Grimm: Snow White.

And while the battle is continuing to look more and more Grimm—what with Universal bumping the date for its Kristen Stewart version to a few weeks before Relativity's reboot—we can't help but get a bit confused on which Snow White is which.

You, too? Here's your cheat sheet:



The Story: Comedy vs. Kick a s s!
Relativity's Snow White—which is supposedly about Snow and her dwarfy pals violently reclaiming the kingdom—is described as a "spirited adventure comedy" (tho sources close to the picture tell us the laughs are kinda few and far between), while Universal's Huntsman takes a much more serious, kickass approach to the series. If you're looking for serious fight sequences and the chance of some steamy scenes between Hemsworth and Stewart, your best bet is the latter.





Snow White: Delightful vs. Deadly!
Relativity Media picked Lily Collins to play its fair-skinned star—another notch on the up-and-comer's list of impressive résumé credits. Lil has the perfect cute-as-a-button puss to play the sweet little Snow the studio wants. Kristen Stewart, meanwhile, will lead Universal's picture, playing Snow White the warrior as she seeks violent revenge on the Evil Queen.





The Queen: B i t c h tastic vs. Bloodthirsty!
Speaking of the queen, she's pretty bad in both installments. But it's only in Universal's pick that she's bloodthirsty. When deemed not the fairest of them all, Charlize Theron will order that K.Stew's Snow be taken into the woods and murdered. Yikes! On the other hand, Julia Roberts will make a deliciously b i t c h y splash as the queen in Relativity's flick with Nathan Lane at her side. Sounds hilar to us!
'




The Prince: Hunky vs. Who Cares?
Relativity found its drool-worthy prince in the Social Network's Armie Hammer, and we say perfect! We still have a crush on Armie from his days fighting Facebook and would let him sweep us off our feet any day. The pairing with Lily is a bit creepy, but we're willing to hold our judgment until we see the flick. On the other hand, Universal seems to be giving the leading man status to Chris Hemsworth as the Huntsman, while (also handsome) newcomer Sam Claflin plays the Prince.

The Movie: Which Will Come Out on Top?!
While both films focus on White, they couldn't be more different when it comes down to it. And that's totally cool with us. We're looking forward to seeing K.Stew get her action star on just as much as we are dying to see Julia at her b i t c h y best. There's enough room for two fairy-tale flicks, right?

Sam Claflin on Pirates of the Caribbean and the Possibility of Chemistry with Kristen Stewart

COMMENTS: 0 || ADD YOURS
In this summer’s swashbuckling sequel Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, British newcomer Sam Claflin goes toe to toe with Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) and a much more fearsome pirate: Blackbeard (Ian McShane), the legendary captain of a zombie ship on a quest to find the Fountain of Youth. But while Claflin holds his own as idealistic young Philip Swift, the missionary who falls for a mermaid (Àstrid Bergès-Frisbey) and defies Blackbeard on pain of death, in real life he owes a debt of gratitude to the erstwhile Al Swearengen.

Visibly nervous at his very first cast read-through for On Stranger Tides, Claflin got a much-needed reassurance from McShane, with whom he’d starred in the 2010 miniseries The Pillars of the Earth. “Ian just put his hand around me and went, ‘You’ll be fine,’” Claflin shared during an amiable chat with Movieline. “Honestly, that guy’s really kind of kept me together.”

At 24, Claflin is set to make his mark with Pirates, his first big screen feature credit; he’ll next co-star with Chris Hemsworth and Kristen Stewart in Snow White and the Huntsman. In any case, he’s building an solid resume within Hollywood — and, having amassed about a thousand new Twitter followers since the time of our chat, it looks like the fans are taking note as well.

How are you liking your first big movie press tour?
I’m really enjoying it, because obviously I’ve never done this before. The first time is always the best, right? But I’m actually having a blast.

Now that you’re getting your big breakthrough, do you think you’ll relocate from London or stay put?
I think stay put. It’s home, you know. My girlfriend is there, and my friends and family. My history is all back home and the thought of moving anywhere else at the moment isn’t even in the cards. I definitely feel that in the future if work brought me out there then obviously I’d have to move, but right now I’m very settled and very comfortable.

How much pressure did you feel when you first landed the Pirates of the Caribbean gig?
There’s not anything to describe the feeling I was going through! There was such a fine line between nerves and excitement and I was feeling both, so the adrenaline was doubly attacking my nervous system. No, but I definitely felt the pressure, especially to begin with to be consistently compared to sort of “the new Orlando Bloom.” And he and Keira Knightley left very large shoes to fill and a high bar to match up to. I know that both me and Àstrid [Bergès-Frisbey] were kind of like, “OK, we’ve really got to pull something out of the bag that’s special.” And who knows if we’ve done that or not, but nevertheless it was an amazing experience and an opportunity for me to really knuckle down and get stuck in. I tried not to think about it too much, but it’s hard, you know? [Laughs] I’m very anxious to hear what people say about it all.

I feel watching my performances, “Oh my God, I do that — and I do this as well… I need to stop doing this. I look silly.”

Do you watch your own performances on screen?
I do, because I don’t think I could learn if I didn’t. And I feel that as much as I’ve learned about the process of filmmaking, I feel watching my performances, “Oh my God, I do that — and I do this as well… I need to stop doing this. I look silly.”

It seems like as a performer, that’s just getting to know your own tools.
Yeah. I feel there are a few habits that I’ve started picking up on after watching a few things that I’ve done.

Like what?
I have a gamey eye. [Laughs] No, occasionally I see, I don’t know, little twitches and facial expressions. I go, “I do that way too much, and I’m going to try to avoid it in the future.”

Fair enough! What was the audition process like for Pirates? I imagine it was a huge ordeal and a long process, given the enormity of this franchise.
The initial audition, the first ever audition — firstly, I kind of walked into it expecting to hear nothing back. I’ve been on so many auditions in my time that I was expecting… it was an impossible feat.

It was recently announced that you got the Snow White and the Huntsman role, so congratulations! Were you just going out for every big movie out there?
Yeah — I think people have heard of me now, as much as people haven’t seen me so much. But a few people, especially in the industry, are kind of asking, “Who the hell is this weird kid who’s just appeared on my Internet page?” It’s exciting because people are talking. I’m thrilled that people are talking; they really didn’t have to be, and I’m honored, really, that my name is on people’s lips. But nothing’s really changed. Even the initial audition was just an ordinary audition. It seemed impossible and somehow it’s all worked out for the best.

You were in Pillars of the Earth, with Ian McShane —
Yes!

Was it total coincidence, or did that connection help you at all in getting the Pirates job?
I know for a fact now, today — Rob Marshall told me today that when they were sort of thinking of offering me the part, he asked Ian’s opinion of me. So I guess, thanks Ian, because I’m here! What was said, I have no idea. But nonetheless I owe a lot of my life to both of those two men, and I’m very thankful and lucky to be here. Ian has really sort of been there from the beginning for me. He was the first person I saw when I got off the plane in Hawaii. From the beginning he’s really taken me under his wing and given me such support and help.

How sweet! How so?
The initial time when I met the big actors — Penélope Cruz, Geoffrey Rush, Kevin McNally, Stephen Graham, Johnny Depp — was during this read through. It was coming closer and closer to my line during this read-through, and I’d heard everyone do their first lines, it was my turn. You know, the nerves were building, my heart was pounding. Ian just put his hand around me and went, “You’ll be fine.” And I was able to relax. Honestly, that guy’s really kind of kept me together.

That’s really adorable. Now to switch it up a bit — you’ve got so many new fans on Twitter already.
It’s because… A famous actor told me once — I don’t want to name names, I hate that sort of thing — but I was at his house and he said, “Are you on Twitter?” I said yes, I am. And he said, “There’ll be one day when you’ll have, like, five friends. And in the same day it’ll go to five thousand.” And, you know, I’ve not got five thousand followers, but this week I had two hundred followers to begin with. On Wednesday I had 210 followers. I’m checking — he told me to keep checking every now and then and then see how quickly it sort of shoots up. Today, Friday, I have 850 or something. And you’re just like, “How has that just happened?” [Ed. note: Claflin now has nearly 1,800 followers.]

So, for the record your Twitter account is…
@SamClaflin. Simple as! Hook me up, follow me!

Lastly, regarding Snow White and the Huntsman: Have you yet met with Kristen Stewart?

No!

So there was no chemistry read, you were cast separately for your roles?

No, but from my understanding she seems like an absolute legend of a girl. I have a friend who worked with her, my friend Eddie Redmayne, and he says she’s really down to earth, really talented. She’s so talented, I’m a big fan of hers. So fingers crossed there’ll be chemistry. But no, I didn’t have the opportunity to meet her, which is a bit of a shame.

Relativity Media picked Lily Collins to play its fair-skinned star—another notch on the up-and-comer's list of impressive résumé credits. Lil has the perfect cute-as-a-button puss to play the sweet little Snow the studio wants. Kristen Stewart, meanwhile, will lead Universal's picture, playing Snow White the warrior as she seeks violent revenge on the Evil Queen.

The Queen: B i t c h tastic vs. Bloodthirsty!
Speaking of the queen, she's pretty bad in both installments. But it's only in Universal's pick that she's bloodthirsty. When deemed not the fairest of them all, Charlize Theron will order that K.Stew's Snow be taken into the woods and murdered. Yikes! On the other hand, Julia Roberts will make a deliciously b i t c h y splash as the queen in Relativity's flick with Nathan Lane at her side. Sounds hilar to us!

The Prince: Hunky vs. Who Cares?
Relativity found its drool-worthy prince in the Social Network's Armie Hammer, and we say perfect! We still have a crush on Armie from his days fighting Facebook and would let him sweep us off our feet any day. The pairing with Lily is a bit creepy, but we're willing to hold our judgment until we see the flick. On the other hand, Universal seems to be giving the leading man status to Chris Hemsworth as the Huntsman, while (also handsome) newcomer Sam Claflin plays the Prince.

The Movie: Which Will Come Out on Top?!
While both films focus on White, they couldn't be more different when it comes down to it. And that's totally cool with us. We're looking forward to seeing K.Stew get her action star on just as much as we are dying to see Julia at her b i t c h y best. There's enough room for two fairy-tale flicks, right?

Which Snow White Is Which? Blood 'n' Guts vs. Bloody Fun!

With so many fairy tales to choose from, it's pretty funny (or just competitive biz as usual) that two flicks centered on Snow White and her escapades are going to hit the big screen around the same time: Universal's Snow White and the Huntsman and Relativity Media's The Brothers Grimm: Snow White.

And while the battle is continuing to look more and more Grimm—what with Universal bumping the date for its Kristen Stewart version to a few weeks before Relativity's reboot—we can't help but get a bit confused on which Snow White is which.

You, too? Here's your cheat sheet:



The Story: Comedy vs. Kick a s s!
Relativity's Snow White—which is supposedly about Snow and her dwarfy pals violently reclaiming the kingdom—is described as a "spirited adventure comedy" (tho sources close to the picture tell us the laughs are kinda few and far between), while Universal's Huntsman takes a much more serious, kickass approach to the series. If you're looking for serious fight sequences and the chance of some steamy scenes between Hemsworth and Stewart, your best bet is the latter.
