Snow White and the Huntsman

[craigdbfan]

Charlize Theron is the bees knees.

 

[kickass]

sure is far superior

and collins showed me nothing to warrant a kristen stewart replacement

I agree. Most people think Collins would be better suited as Snow White because she resembles the Disney version in human form. Kristen may be awful in Twilight but I don't think she's bad in any of her other films. Collins has always been 'meh' to me. And I don't like her eyebrows.

The first half of the trailer music reminds me more the Tron Legacy score than of Mind Heist

Yeah the first thing that popped into my head was Tron Legacy. And then it follows the same chord progression as Mind Heist.

Anyways, trailer music similarities aside, I think this looked to be an awesome kickass trailer.

Has anyone else read Neil Gaiman's short story "Snow, Glass, Apples"? You'll look at the Snow White story the same way again.

Is it about a coke head?

Nope, it's a real re-imagining of Snow White, told by the POV of the "evil queen stepmother" who's not evil at all but just wants to protect her people. Because Snow White is a vampire feeding off the people closest to her. (It's implied there's incest and that she's been draining her father the king of his blood until he dies.) And the prince was going to marry the queen but there's a problem because he's a necrophiliac. But that means he's perfect for Snow White, because she's undead.

If you Google "neil gaiman snow glass apples text" you can find it in its entirety, but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to link to it here because...lemme just say it certainly isn't shy in its sexual content.

Stewart's Snow takes more of a tomboy route, she is an actual warrior afterall. That suits Stewart.

Collins is too soft looking for Huntsman, she looks better as the Disney version.

Id' rather have Stewart looking less "pretty" and able to kick some ass, than Collins twilring in her giant dress.

Reading it now... Damn, it's creepy!

And people think Huntsman deviates from the source material...........t:

 

[TheVileOne]

Looks interesting like a bigger budget version of Terry Gilliam's Brothers Grimm. Sort of also looks like the Lord of The Snow Whites.

I think Stewart can be a decent actress but I'm not sure if she can carry an action adventure role like this needs to be.

Spoiler

Regarding the White Wolf . . . how does Snow White command the White Wolf if the Queen did originally? And what happens to the dude that transforms into the White Wolf that works for the queen?

 

[SatEL]

It looks fine, too bad that Steward was casted as Snow White since I really don't like her gaze/eyes, they look empty/bland but that's just me.

No not just you my friend, she evokes absolutely no emotion. They say the eyes is a window to the soul, seems like someone needs to be informed that they are in need of a soul.

that is exactly how i feel both fit their snow whites for their specific tone of their movies

lily fits the more innocent,kiddy,comedic version while kristen fits the more darker,gritty,serious version

both would look out of place in each otherss movie if they switched imo

jut like armie's prince looks silly and quite goofy and claflin's prince is more of a serious knight who is in battle armor and welding a big sword

Spoiler

Snow White never commands the White Wolf, as far as I'm concerned. However, it is implied that the Huntsman is reborn as a White Wolf after dying during the final battle against the Queen and the Mirror Man.

As for the other White Wolf, Finn (You can actually see him in the trailer), he's overpowered by the Huntsman during a battle at the Dwarfs' mines in the Icelands and killed by being thrown into a cliff.

Remember, this is all subjected to change.

Wait!

Spoiler

The Mirror Man actually fights?

Have you got a cap of the White Wolf from the trailer?

 

[protocida]

Spoiler

Yup, the Mirror Man fights. In the Script, his "fluid" form become more solid and spiked, with sharp edges everywhere. Hope that's still in, it's a pretty cool fight.

And that's the White Wolf in the background. His name is Finn and he's an albino mercenary hired to find Snow White and the Huntsman in the Dark Forest.

I imagine that ending could definitely change after focus groups get a hold of it .

Hemsworth is so popular with the ladies, one might think they'll demand for him to get with Snow White at the end.

 

[protocida]

I wouldn't be surprised. The Huntsman was originally a mid-40's father figure to Snow White, to be played by Viggo Mortensen, and now he's... well... Thor.

 

[Raiden]

They already have Snow White wearing chain mails and staging huge battles a la LOTR, so changing the Huntsman from a middle-age man to a young, handsome guy isn't a giant leap of faith imo. They already shown that they're willing to deviate from the fairy tale as much as they want, so I'm glad we get Thor instead of Aragorn in this movie.

I can't imagine them removing that as it sounds like a show stealing set piece.

Interesting that.

Spoiler

The Mirror takes a side and seems in league with the Queen, isn't it neutral in the original tale?

And that's the White Wolf in the background. His name is Finn and he's an albino mercenary hired to find Snow White and the Huntsman in the Dark Forest.

Thanks, I was wondering who the Quenn would send once the Huntsman began protecting Snow White instead of trying to capture her. Does Finn have have any particular skill outside of turning into a wolf?

 

[kickass]

A lot of this Finn info should be hidden in spoiler tags. A lot of ppl don't know about this aspect of the film/script.

 

[protocida]

Does Finn have have any particular skill outside of turning into a wolf?

Spoiler

He's a good hunter, easily tracking down Snow White and the Huntsman through the Dark Forest, and also appears to be matched with the Huntsman in terms of axe-slinging. In the Script, he's accompanied by two other mercenaries, Bruno and Bilge-Rat, whom I can describe as the movie's Pintel and Raggeti. They're twin brothers who always brag about being identical, despite the fact that Bruno is a tall, muscular and attractive-looking guy (Like Bruno from the romance novels) while Bilge-Rat is a short, chubby, greasy, cigar-chewing dude. They are basically there for comic relief, and have their own little subplot about trying to steal valuables from everyone they come into contact with, always failing.

In addition, halfway during the story, Finn and his associates also team up with Dark Fairies - the black winged creatures you can briefly see in the Trailer, I'd guess.

Oh yes, I forgot about the Dark Fairies! I need to reread the script. What were those purple things flying around again in the trailer? I had mistaken those for the fairies.

Also, the Troll in the trailer )which I assume is the Troll in the first big encounter scene with Snow White in the Dark Forest) looks like a giant version of the Faun in Pan's Labyrinth. No complaints here though lol.

 

[TheVileOne]

So taboo/incestuous overtones was what the original script went for .

Hey Terry Gilliam basically went there with The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus.

 

[protocida]

Not really.

Spoiler

Outside of a very brief scene in which Snow White wonders if hooking up with the Huntsman would be better for her now that she has to fight for survival, there is no real sexual/romantic tension between the two.

 

[kickass]

As for the dwarves.....

Spoiler

I wonder if there's still 8 of them and one of them dies....

Spoiler

that's not the case going by the summary that was posted if it was accurate and if that was before it was re-worked with a younger Huntsman in Chris Hemsworth.
