A few days ago, we received the first trailer for SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN which is a darker, more violent take on the Snow White mythos. Now, thanks to Yahoo! Movies, we have the new trailer for Tarsem Singh’s (IMMORTALS) version, MIRROR MIRROR. While the other version is going for the darker, more gothic look, MIRROR MIRROR is definitely on the other end of the spectrum. This version, which will hit theaters next year before the other one, is sweet, funny and looks like a good time. Tarsem is definitely known for his visuals (IMMORTALS has been described as a moving painting) and as you can see in the trailer, this looks to be the case once again.
Lilly Collins, daughter of singer Phil Collins, looks great in the role and actually captures the look of Snow White. After having supporting roles in only a handful of movies, including the critically acclaimed THE BLIND SIDE and the critically panned ABDUCTION, she is headlining her first movie here with Hollywood big-timers Julia Roberts and Sean Bean. We will have to see how she does in this leading lady role.
Check out the trailer below and let us know what you think in the comments below. Which Snow White movie are you most looking forward too?
MIRROR MIRROR is directed by Tarsem Singh and stars Lily Collins, Julia Roberts, Armie Hammer, Nathan Lane, Robert Emms, Mare Winningham, Michael Lerner, Mark Povinelli, Jordan Prentice, Danny Woodburn, Sebastian Saraceno, Ronald Lee Clark, Martin Klebba, Joey Gnoffo and Sean Bean.
SYNOPSIS: Relativity’s “Mirror Mirror” is a spectacular reimagining of the classic fairy tale starring Oscar winner Julia Roberts as the Queen, Lily Collins (“The Blind Side”) as Snow White, Armie Hammer (“The Social Network”) as Prince Alcott, Sean Bean (“Game of Thrones,” “The Lord of the Rings”) as the King and Nathan Lane (“The Lion King,” “The Birdcage”) as the Queen’s hapless and bungling servant, Brighton. An evil queen steals control of a kingdom and an exiled princess enlists the help of seven resourceful rebels to win back her birthright in a spirited adventure comedy filled with jealousy, romance and betrayal that will capture the imagination of audiences the world over.
Visionary director Tarsem Singh (“Immortals”) rewrites fairy tale history as a wicked enchantress (Roberts) schemes and scrambles for control of a spirited orphan’s (Collins) throne and the attention of a charming prince (Hammer). When Snow White’s beauty wins the heart of the prince that she desperately pursues, the Queen banishes her to the forest, where a ravening man-eating beast hungrily awaits.
Rescued by a band of diminutive highway robbers, Snow White grows into an indomitable young woman determined to take back her realm from the treacherous Queen. With the support of her subjects, she roars into action in an epic battle that blends spectacle, magic and contemporary humor in Singh’s signature, jaw-dropping visual style.
MIRROR MIRROR is set to hit theaters on March 16, 2012.
