Just yesterday, we saw three new featurettes for Universal’s upcoming fantasy-epic, Snow White and the Huntsman, and given everything else that we’ve seen as well, the film looks like it’s going fulfil its quota of epicness and then some.
We now have a new featurette for your viewing pleasure, taking you inside the action, comfortably reassuring anyone that doesn’t think Kristen Stewart can pull off the Joan of Arc-esque heroine type that this is going to be an action-centric blockbuster.
“In the epic action-adventure Snow White and the Huntsman, Kristen Stewart (Twilight) plays the only person in the land fairer than the evil queen (Oscar® winner Charlize Theron) who is out to destroy her. But what the wicked ruler never imagined is that the young woman threatening her reign has been training in the art of war with a huntsman (Chris Hemsworth, Thor) who was dispatched to kill her. Sam Claflin (Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides) joins the cast as the prince long enchanted by Snow White’s beauty and power.
The breathtaking new vision of the legendary tale is from Joe Roth, the producer of Alice in Wonderland, producer Sam Mercer (The Sixth Sense) and acclaimed commercial director and state-of-the-art visualist Rupert Sanders.”
Rupert Sanders is making what looks like an impressive directorial debut, with a script co-written by Hossein Amini (Drive) and Evan Daugherty (who also makes his debut here).
Along with Stewart, the fantastic cast includes Chris Hemsworth (as the eponymous Huntsman), Charlize Theron, Sam Claflin, Nick Frost, Ray Winstone, Ian McShane, Toby Jones, Eddie Marsan, Lily Cole, and Bob Hoskins.
We also got a trailer preview earlier this week, introduced by Chris Hemsworth, and news that the full trailer will be hitting on Monday, so be sure to check back in then for what will undoubtedly be another awesome look at the film.
Snow White and the Huntsman will be released in the UK and US on 1st June, and to catch up on everything else we’ve seen from the film, just click here.
