Christopher Nolan has Cillian Murphy, Nicolas Winding Refn has Ryan Gosling and Edgar Wright has ....Nick Frost? But Frost is branching out from Wright-features having stared in the recently released Tin Tin [ I'll concede that Wright did work on the script] and in the forthcoming Snow White & the Huntsman, directed by Rupert Sanders. Contrary to popular belief, Frost is playing a dwarf named Nion not Gus. Many were skeptical of the movie but after a recent trailer drop, opinions about the film are quickly flip-flopping. In a recent interview with io9, Frost gave a brief update on the film and his role.
After discussing Tin Tin, Frost is asked about his role in Snow White & the Huntsman:
FROST: "We wrapped recently. I play a dwarf named Nion, like a color."
Is he a flamboyant dwarf that lives up to his name?
FROST: "I suppose there is some flamboyance to him! They screened 20 minutes of the film on set, and it looked fantastic. Very gothic, the dwarves bring a little comic relief to it. The battle scenes looked great."
And continuing along the Tin Tin press tour, Frost had nothing but praise for co-star Kristen Stewart while speaking to Movies.com.
Speaking about K-Stew:
FROST: "On the one hand, she’s fragile, and you want to kind of give her a cuddle. But on the other hand, she wears armor, and wields a sword like any warrior. I like that, and I think that’s quite unique.
She can, on one hand, be one thing, and literally on the flip of a coin she can turn into this other thing. So I think it should be pretty good."
And here's the trailer in case you missed it. Looks pretty good, I must admit. SWATH will hit American theaters June 1, 2012.
