Charlize Theron drew inspiration from Jack Nicholson's crazed character in The Shining to play the Evil Queen in her highly-anticipated movie Snow White And The Huntsman.
She tells LA Confidential Magazine, "This (film) has been a great sandbox to play in - huge sets and great costumes, and yet very grounded material. There was definitely something (about the character) that always reminded me of Jack Nicholson in The Shining.
"I played with the idea of that cabin fever, being stuck in a castle, and slowly losing your mind, your obsessions eating you up, and becoming capable of doing something you didn't necessarily think you would be capable of."
Snow White And The Huntsman stars Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron, Sam Claflin, Christopher Obi, Ian McShane, Eddie Izzard, Bob Hoskins, Toby Jones, Eddie Marsan, Stephen Graham, Ray Winstone, Nick Frost, and hits theaters on June 1, 2012!
