Entertainment Weekly has the inside scoop on one of the two Snow White films that are in production. This one is helmed by Tarsem Singh (The upcoming Immortals). The film is set for a March 16th release, but it has been moving up to try to keep ahead of the Kristen Stewart Snow White film that has just begun filming.
Lily Collins explains the "distinction" between the two
Snow Whites,
"She’s very much that fairy tale princess we’ve all read about in books. She’s been modernized in a way that she becomes a fighter in the end.”
Clearly Ms. Collins (Daughter of Phil Collins) isn't aware of how similar that sounds to the other version called,
Snow White and the Huntsman, which will star Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemswoth and Charlize Theron. The "Huntsman" has a better cast in my opinion and the early start date seems like the only edge for Singh's version of the classic fairy tale.
On an added note Julia Roberts is playing the villian, I think it'll suit her.
What it's like working on the set
“I keep saying to everyone I feel like I’m walking into a snow globe, a fairy tale, every single day. It’s so epic. I was part of a costume ball today, so you can only imagine the outfits.”
Collins describes her Snow White
“a joyful person who lights up a room and maintains grace at all times.” With a father played by the recently cast Sean Bean, she’s fine as long as the King is around, but… we all know how that turns out. “She’s a naive innocent young girl who turns into a woman and really finds herself,” Collins says.
The Plot
The Social Network’s Armie Hammer plays the prince, who finds himself stuck in a love triangle between Snow and her wicked stepmother, because he can shift the balance of power in their mythical realm. “They’re competing for the prince in separate ways,” says Collins, who is currently shooting in Montreal. “The Queen wants to use him to better herself. I’m seeking his help to gain back my kingdom from the Queen. She has her intentions from the start. I go from seeking his help to falling in love, though obviously there’s something of a spark from the beginning.”
