When I first heard about the dueling Snow White projects, my immediate interest was in the one where Julia Roberts was cast as the Evil Queen, in a film called…er… Mirror, Mirror (srsly?). Anyway, about a month ago a bunch of production stills were released from Mirror, Mirror, and they were so terrible I instantly became a bigger fan of the other Snow White project, Snow White and the Huntsman. SWATH (great acronym) stars Kristen Stewart as Snow, Chris Hemsworth as the Huntsman and Charlize Theron as the Evil Queen. Well, the teaser trailer for SWATH just came out and… hot damn, this actually looks like a solid movie. Do me a favor and watch this in full screen.
It’s kind of awesome, right? I like that it seems as if Charlize is THE STAR of the film and K-Stew is just playing supporting, although I doubt that’s the way the film really is. This is just a teaser trailer, after all. I’m sure in another month, we’ll see that Snow is really a sulky eye-roller and the Evil Queen spends most of the movie as a murder of crows. “Murder” is the correct word for a grouping of crows – isn’t that cool? This Wikipedia page is maybe the coolest thing ever. Anyway… yeah, this movie looks hella good.
It really has a heavy LOTR vibe to it. It looks like the White Tree of Gondor on her shield and Charlize is perfecting her Cate Blanchett enunciation as Galadriel. Looks interesting though. “Mirror, Mirror” looks a bit too cotton candy for my taste.
My thoughts exactly. Did you notice the little Gollums running up and down the trees?
Actually, I see tiny thefts from every successful fantasy film made in the past 50 years.
This doesn’t stand a chance against Ridley Scott’s prequel Prometheus with Michael Fassbender, Charlize and Idris Elba. Both films are released within a week.
Stewart isn’t in the trailer because the studio doesn’t want to turn people off with her awful acting and “British” accent. Imagine how bad she’ll sound.
Chris Hemsworth is hot and Charlize Theron is even hotter, but even combined they can’t make up for the fact that Kristen Stewart is in this film. I can’t believe every brunette 20-something who can actually act was unavailable when they cast this!
(And I think the paucity of K-Stew in the trailer suggests that even the makers realise she’s not exactly a selling point.)
it looks really good. can’t believe i’m writing this, but kstew actually may be a good fit for the part.
now, i wanna see it.
Bwwwahhaaha!
Just from the trailer, it looks like this movie is the Charlize show and Kristan Steward is not even a supporting actor, more like an extra or a prop.
I hope they limit her screen time in this, can’t believe SHE got the role in the first place.
Agreed! I can’t stand Kristen Stewart! I can’t help to think, though older yet could pass as younger, that Kate Beckinsale would have been the perfect actress for this role. Of course…she is my fav actress so I may be biased. Lol. I have to see this movie even with my hatred towards that terrible actress Kristen. Charlize plays her part amazingly!
Charlize Theron looks incredible in this movie and she’s acting circles around Kristen. Kristen always has the same expression on her face.
Kristen is a pretty girl but drop dead gorgeous like Charlize? Not a chance. We’re supposed to believe she’s more beautiful than Charlize? Fail. Amber Heard would have been a better pick.
I’d go watch it for Charlize Theron though. Julia Roberts doesn’t stand a chance.
Isn’t the movie still filming or just wrapped? It’s weird to release a trailer so soon. Even before the trailer this movie looked better than the Julia Roberts film. The promotional photos looked cheesey.
So, they’re not using actual dwarfs for this movie…am I correct? Because I can clearly see Toby Jones and Bob Hoskins in that poster.
The only dwarf in this film is Kristen Stewart; in both stature and talent.
HMMMM yea, I dig it. I’ll go and see it.
What’s with the fake British accents in this movie? Is Snow White supposed to be English? Charlize’s weird accent is really distracting me from what, admittedly, looks like a super cool film.
It looks like another of those “Strong Villian”–Weak Lead” movies where the bad guy or girl is the best part of the flick. It was suggested this be called “The Evil Queen” and Theron always looks like an ice queen any way. No warmth.
There is something wrong with this mirror.
LOL – Good one!
Honestly? The other one looks more interesting to me. But I always find Tarsem Singh’s work to be interesting.
Plus there isn’t any way I’ll watch a movie with Kristen Stewart in it.
Charlize looks amazing in this and I just might see the film to watch her in it. The film on the whole looks like a good time.
However …. when the mirror said there was a woman fairer than Charlize and they cut to K-Stew, I laughed out loud. That’s asking me to suspend my belief a bit too much.
This looks great but I find funny that everyone so quickly wants to dismiss Stewart.
Charlize filmed her scenes earlier than Stewart, which would explain why she has a heavy presences.
I’m so excited for this! And I really hope Kristen brings it, if for no other reason than to prove the naysayers wrong.
KStewart looks non-existant in the trailer, Theron is incredible, she almost scared me. Why did the producers cast Stewart as Snow White?
@Lola: 4 years of wooden Twilight lip-biting is long enough to figure out that the girl can’t act!
It looks good, but the fact that Kristen Stewart is playing Snow White means that I won’t go and see it. I’m already sick of her one expression in the Twilight films.
Ok, watched the whole trailer. It looks interesting. But that awesome effect showing The Evil Queen as a murder of crows has been used before (Madonna’s video “Frozen”, directed by Chris Cunningham).
P.S.: I also like that — at least in this movie — The Evil Queen is played by an actual beautiful woman.
Nice. Looks a bit like Game of Thrones to me.
I’m soooo looking forward to hearing kstews brittish accent! The movie gives me chills! can’t wait! But CT looks like the star of the movie even though snow white is the main character.
Nice combo of Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth, but K-Stew is looking lost in that trailer. The movie in itself looks interesting.
This looks really good. I’m going to give Kristin the benefit of the doubt. She needs experience in films like this to expand herself as a young actress. Hope she does a good job.
Stewart’s acting in twilight isn’t wooden its subdued. Just bc she doesn’t chew the scenery doesnt mean she’s not acting.
Mostly people don’t like to admitt that they prefer the showy (Disney) acting styles.
It’s a great trailer but they’ve obviously edited out a certain mouthbreather’s performance. I’d pay to see Charlize but not K-stew. Oh and isn’t Snow White supposed to be more beautiful than the Evil Queen? K-stew is pretty but Charlize is a goddess.
Chris Hemsworth looks HOT. I will definitely be seeing this. Can’t wait!
Twilight shouldn’t be a reference for her acting ability. Shit, even Meryl Streep would scratch her head on that script!
The trailer looks good, it makes me want to see it. It looks epic…
It doesn’t matter who looks the hottest to me, I want to see what they did with the story. Mirror Mirror and SWATH have totally different takes on the story so it isn’t really comparable anymore. I like this darker version more. It shows Snow White isn’t just waiting for her prince and decides to fight back. That trumphs being just beautiful imo. It’s my cup of tea.
The movie looks great, but seriously, we’re supposed to buy that K Stew is going to surpass Charlize in being the fairest of them all? Not freaking likely.
@10 – “What’s with the fake British accents in this movie? Is Snow White supposed to be English? Charlize’s weird accent is really distracting me from what, admittedly, looks like a super cool film.”
From what I remember from boarding school – most fairytales were written or staged in a time before USA/Canada even existed as territories – hence the characters woukd not have spoken with North American accents – only the Queen’s English would have been spoken, hence the fake English wannabe accents used for stories like this.
Couldn’t they have found a more beautiful actress to “surpass” Queen Charlize?
The producers would do well to focus the story on Charlize who is gorgeous and can act! And make mouth-breather Kristen an afterthought.
All the main characters get their own trailer.
1. Evil Queen
2. Huntsman
3. Snow White
4. KStew hate is tiresome :/
To clarify, Kstew’s character isn’t supposed to be more beautiful than than the evil queen, only that she is “destined to be” more beautiful in the future. Although I agree with many of you that based on looks alone many many other actresses could have been better cast for this part.
The whole accent thing reminds me of Prince of Persia and Jake Gyllenhall’s fake English (?) accent. It was definitely a head scratcher. But I love me a an English accent fake or no so hey, whatever. Perhaps the majority the cast is English and they wanted to create some consistency with the accents.
@ mika, how about german? i think that is the original language of this story. it is not an english tale.
Yay! Me happy!
@Khalesi I knew that but still it’s not realistic that K-stew could ever surpass Charlize in looks even if you cleaned her up real good.
I liked KStew’s turn as Joan Jett in The Runaways, so I’m willing to give her a shot in this.
It probably helps her that Charlize Theron is being pushed as the lead. That way, if it bombs, Kristin won’t shoulder most of the responsibility for it.
@tapioca…Well said!
This is definitely a case of the villain out classing/out acting the lead. Charlize is miles better in every aspect than KStew. Hell, Jessica Biel would have been a better lead, at least I could buy her as being kick ass.
@mln76…they definitely edited this to make it Snow White/KStew-lite. I appreciate that.
Agree with many of you on here and with Kaiser. This trailer looks so good. I can’t wait to watch it. I initially thought it would be cheesy, esp. with K Stew in it, but I changed my mind and I will probably watch both since I am a sucker for fairy tales. And too funny about K Stew being fairer than Charlize. Not a chance, but maybe Snow White will surpass Charlize in power that kind of things not so much about her looks. And I will watch it for the hot huntsman if nothing else.
I can’t watch the trailer at the moment, but wow, Charlize is a gorgeous woman. She’s a very good actress too, if it’s more focused on her, I definitely want to see it.
I don’t know why everyone wants to throw Stewart under the bus for her acting. She is actually quite good if you give her a good role.
A good actor can make ANY role work for them . . .Kstew isnt one of those actors.
This looks really amazing. Charlize owns it! That magic mirror effect was awesome. I wonder if the Evil Queen’s demise is being devoured by the liquid mirror, you know, killed by her own vanity.
Liking Hemsworth more that I thought I would… I might even be developing a crush.
As for Stewart, I wish her well against the hate that many have that seems to rival the Queen’s hate for Snow White. Ha!
And frankly I never thought Disney did a great job with making Snow White more beautiful than their Evil Queen either. I always thought that Disney’s Snow White was a bit of potato head.
At first I didn’t give either snow white project any notice (and even less so after I saw the Julie Roberts project stills), but then when I saw this trailer I was fan girling instantly…it’s right up my lotr/game of thrones dork alley. I just hope the director stopped KStews lip biting and twitching and told her to close her mouth. There’s always hope that with a good script/character (which Bella and twilight are neither) and a good director she might pull off a good performance.
You have to remember the studio executives force this role to Kristen,it’s not the other way around,they couldn’t find a better looking girl that will suit the role perfectly for Snow White,they waited for Kristen for a long time to say yes to the role,and 21 vs 39,c’mon,even the blind can see the difference,Charlize may once been a beautiful girl,but she’s old now and almost a has been,hence the reason for taking the villain supporting role.
Kristen does make all of her roles work. However, many people dislike her most famous character to date.
Just bc I dislike a character doesnt make to actor any worse at their craft.
Overall acting,like beauty, is subjective. It changed with the times. 5 years ago if you said the name Kristen Stewart many mainstream audience wouldn’t know who she is but movie pundits thought her to be an great actress. Her acting didn’t change just her image
I will definitely see this for CHarlize, I just love her as an actress so much!
it seems really really interesting and i can’t wait!
and about kstew…really, i tend to hold off my judgement untill i actually see the movie.
and you know, there are people who will find Kstew’s type of beauty more attractive than the classical idea of charlize. i am one of those, as i never found grace-kelly-types to be something special. beautiful-yes; unbelievably shapely lines-yes, but particularly interesting in that i’d want to look at it every morning? no.
and that is not bc i want to degrade beauty of theron; i do find her beautiful. but i do think it’s stupid and offensive to regulate who should be universaly hotter, when that particular taste is clearly very individual.
Oooooh! CanNOT wait!!
I think the most exciting thing about this film is the dwarves. Have you SEEN the list? Not a duff choice among them – Ian McShane as Caesar, Eddie Izzard as Tiberius, Bob Hoskins as Constantine, Toby Jones as Claudius, Eddie Marsan as Hadrian, Stephen Graham as Nero, Ray Winstone as Trajan, and Nick Frost as Gus.
@Mika- Did they even talk with the same British accent and speak the same English back in the Medieval days? And I love the British accent it is the best in the world to me. If I was rich I would send my daughter there for school just so she could acquire the accent and maybe bag a prince. Just kidding. And if people can’t get the accent right they should either hire those who can or just don’t use an accent.
Movie looks pretty awesome. Ima definitely be watching it.
Re: Stewart’s acting. I’ve seen her in Panic Room, Speak, The Messengers (awful film but she was fine in it), Adventureland and imo, the girl can act. I think people tend to forget that Bella’s supposed to be an awkward introvert (with serious self-esteem issues based on the books) -in which case, Kristen nailed the role perfectly.
Anyway, I’m not a fan or a lot of her comments or her attitude sometimes but I’m not gonna dismiss her based on Twilight alone and I’m certainly gonna reserve judgment ’til I’ve seen the film which looks AWESOME.
Charlize is so hot… Hope this is a hit for her
And they couldn’t get Mila Kunis as Snow White?
I think Mila is gorgeous and has better acting chops than KStew. Her beauty would rival Charlize’s, even though I have always found Charlize to be a stunning creature, I think Mila could have done the role justice.
Wow miagirl, you just typed everything I was thinking. Really want to see this movie.
Whatsyourbeef, so I guess Sleepy, Sneezy, Happy, Grumpy, Bashful, Dopey, and Doc won’t be putting in an appearance? I wonder if those names will come up in the movie. It doesn’t look like a comedy.
@Lady D Nope, and they’re not in the Tarsem Singh version either. My boyfriend is working on it, and they seem to be going for a bit of a Time Bandits vibe. Walt will be turning in his grave. Bring back Bashful!
Charlize is one of the best actresses in acting history. After Monster, I was a fan of hers forever, I kept wanting to walk out of the movie, because it was so real. I’m sure Kristen is honored to be in a film with her. I wish someone would write another film with Charlize in mind.
Charlize looks fierce! I like the visuals.
Lol @ KStew being in trailer like 20 seconds and not having a line while being the title character. God, she must suck hard (not surprising).
Crap, I was all set to bash KStew and I actually really liked the trailer! If KStew can manage not to be, well KStew, then I think this will be an amazing movie. I love Charlize (so does my husband) and of course Chris Hemsworth will make any girl swoon.
Charlize Theron and the amazing, hot Thor guy!! I cannot wait to see this…it looks like amazingness
I heard they are making a trailer for each characters point of view. Charlize’s was released first to probably set the dark tone of it and she filmed her scenes early but Kstew and Chris also have important roles and probably their own trailers later. This was just a teaser and Kstew is still filming. I think shes really good in movies that arent twilight. Her acting in adventureland and runaways wasnt bad. I really do think that the Twilight script sucks too hard to make it look good. We’ll see. This one looks pretty good right now. Love Charlize!
I hate to say this, but this movie actually looks good. It’s definitely more interesting than the Snow White with Julia Roberts.
Except the posters for this movie are definitely ripping off Lord of the Rings.
I always thought it was awesome that a group of crows is called a murder. Anyone remeber this poem/saying?
One for sorrow, two for mirth.
Three for a wedding, four for a birth.
Five for silver, six for gold.
Seven for a secret never to be told.
Eight for heaven, nine for hell.
Ten for the devil’s own self.
Charlize as the evil queen looks AMAZING!
Kstew also looks fantastic!
Looks like it could be awesome……
After seeing the trailer, had a mini mental movie;
Julia Roberts: “Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who is fairest of them all?”
Mirror: “Bitch please! Charlize!”
P.M. Lol! Charlize looks phenomenal here, but I do agree with those who have doubts about KStew.
kikay are you serious? Charlize is not old. She’s only 35. She is still as beautiful as ever. She is not a has been. She is one of the most in demand actresses right now. She has a big role guaranteed to land an Oscar nomination in Jason Reitman’s next film. She has the next big Ridley Scott film coming up. And this. Among other things. The best is yet to come for her.
Kristen Stewart fans don’t need to attack Charlize just because she will easily steal this film with her beauty and talent and fierce Evil Queen performance.
The trailer looks awesome. But… And don’t kill me kstew fans… But… isn’t snow white supposed to be beautiful? Kristen start has always been very plain to me. There just is no pop to her. Snow white is supposed to have lips the color of blood, hair as ebony as the window pane, and skin as white as snow. Kristen is so boring looking and mousy imo. She had dark hair and pale skin. That does not snow white make >:( and she is so wooden as an actress. I want to see it but I hate the idea of the rest of the cast carrying her lol! Dammit! Bc I love when fairytales are told as they are supposed to be-dark. There were no singing birds and happy animals helping with house work. although there were birds in cinderella that pecked out her step families eyes in the end…. Hm.
I don’t dislike Kristin Stewart, but in watching the trailer it *was* hard to imagine her a threat to Charlize’s beauty. No shame to Kristin, she’s a very pretty young woman, but Charlize Theron is damn amazing and as fun as the trailer was, I had some problems with suspension of disbelief.
I LOL’d at the PM’s mirror’s response to Julia Roberts. So true!
Mirror, mirror on the wall…
what’s with Snow White slouching here?
Please tell me any romance is between the Huntsman and the Queen. He’s not my type at all and I don’t hate Twilight girl but he looks like a grown man and she looks like a teen girl. It would totally creep me out.
UGH! I’m old and childless I had forgotten what the storyline was… Julia Roberts as the evil queen is a riot. *I* am fairer than her.
I like the dark stylish vibe (as opposed to the obvious gum drop sweet candy vibe of the other snow white movie). I like it when Charlize emerges from the white stuff. Woo, talk about menacing. I like Kristen’s hair color. I said it before but very dark suits her. I like that they give her proper armour instead of “cute” armour. So I’ll give Kristen a chance. She certainly deserves as much of one as Robert, right?
I think the main difference between the performances of the queens is that Charlize may be icy, but she’s not a bitch. Whereas Julia is just a plain bitch.
@kikay – the entire point is 39 vs 19 – the fading beauty vs. the blooming beauty. The problem is that if you compare Charlize at 21 to Kristen at 21 the girl is sorely lacking. I don’t see her being super sexy in her prime.
She’s pretty but she lacks that confidence in her looks. She makes a great Joan of Arc who was 14 at the time (this looks like Joan of Arc faces the evil queen) but not a great 21 year old beauty.
They should have looked for an unknown.
Now if you put her up against Julia Roberts, she is definitely prettier even when comparing them both at 21.
If I was the Evil Queen, I might summon the Huntsman to kill ole Snow White but that would be after I graciously let him soothe my dented ego if you get my drift!
BTW, Charlize looks fantastic, Hemsworth looks mmm mmmm good, and KStew, meh, but she doesn’t ruin it for me.
eh, Charlize is treading shaky ground in these theme movies. Her british accent is pretty distracting to me. Overdone and unnatural.
It actually doesn’t look bad, but that’s because Charlize is the main character in the trailer, plus all of the borrowing they did from other, better movies. But dang, she’s hot! Any chance she’ll kick SW’s butt? That would be awesome!
But I think it’s too early to give it a real critique. It’s not even done filming, and even if Charlize (and maybe Chris?) can make this movie better, Kristen will still bring it down. Even in the barely-there clips of her she looks miscast. But it might still be better than I originally thought. I want to see a trailer for Mirror, Mirror now.
I think Kristen looks good in this role. She has such beautiful eyes. And the camera loves the girls face. I think the problem with her is she is lovely..but she just doesn’t have that sexy dangerous vibe. It could come.. but the greats are born with it. It is natural. Yes a LOTRs nut I get that vibe too. but when Charlize came out of that “milk bath” and that gold dripping off her. I thought of Beowulf.
I think the trailer is focusing on the Evil Queen because Twilight is opening soon and they don’t want the audience to think about KS character in that film.
not sure if I will see it. I’m waiting for another film. I think Kristen will do just fine. And to be honest Charlize needs a hit more than KS does.
@ C.Lynn I agree! I laughed when they cut to K. Stew as well. Seriously, her, the fairest? Notice how the mirror covered itself by saying there is one DESTINED to surpass you. Basically saying she’s not the fairest now. I wonder if the writers added that line because they knew the audience would break into hysterical laughter when they saw who was supposed to be fairer than Charlize.
How embarrassing is it for Kristen? Even studio is ashamed of her non-acting and they did not even let her speak in trailer 🙂 Because once she opens her mouth and everybody want to vomit.
And everybody on every comment section noticed it. And everyone were like: “Oh God. Was she so awful that they hide her?”.
Wow. Charlize Theron is perfect. She is gorgeous and has an Oscar. Old, really? I don’t think so. I have to agree KStew as the fairest. No so much. Mila Kunis (someone above suggested) then I would have been total fan girl for this movie! She can act and is gorgeous. I will still see movie to see Charlize.
Ok, that looks good.
ok, Twilight should not be used as a good example of ANYONE’S acting! Cedric Diggory had more life in him than Edward! The problem isn’t the actors, it’s the crappy writing. the Twilight characters are static. Bella Swan is a fool. Edward is a crazy stalker. I hope my younger sister outgrows her fangirlism on that stupid franchise soon.
I’m giving all the Twilight kids the benefit of the doubt, including Kristen.
I think it’s very telling that the trailer doesn’t have even a single line spoken by Stewart. Doesn’t bode well.
Also, I can do without the “warrior princess” angle. Yeah, I know people in the 21st century want to see women in more than just a passive role, but it doesn’t fit this period this movie is supposed to be set in, and it doesn’t fit Stewart’s skinny and untoned physique.
I’ll pass.
“I’m sure in another month, we’ll see that Snow is really a sulky eye-roller and the Evil Queen spends most of the movie as a murder of crows.”
LOL yup that’s what I’m afraid of. But yes this trailer is surprisingly good. From the pics alone this movie looked pretty weird to me, but I was pleasantly surprised by this trailer. But yes, I do fear that there is a reason they feature Charlize much more prominently in this trailer than Kristen, and there’s no way they can get away with that in the movie itself. 😛
Uh…my comment was eaten again!
The mirror effect is beautiful but not that original, it looks a lot like the one used for T-1000 in Terminator 2 — that one when he (it?) emerges from the floor.
Third time trying to post this (looks like I misspelled my own name the first two times…eesh.
The mirror effect is beautiful but not that original — it looks a lot like the one used for T-1000 in Terminator 2 (that one when he emerges from the floor).
“Stewart’s acting in twilight isn’t wooden its subdued. Just bc she doesn’t chew the scenery doesnt mean she’s not acting.”
HA HA HA HA! HA HA HA HA!
@kikay – “21 vs 39,c’mon,even the blind can see the difference,Charlize may once been a beautiful girl,but she’s old now and almost a has been,hence the reason for taking the villain supporting role.”
Charlize is stunning. I can’t believe you are of the mind set that 39 is “old” and thus, her beauty must be waning because of her age. Yes, clearly she’s beyond the age to play the young Snow White. But you’re assuming that this Villain role is supporting. So far, from the trailer, it looks as if this story might be told from the perspective of the queen.
I believe that Charlize and Chris will be carrying this film and that Kirsten is being used by the studios to pull interest from her cultish followers from Twilight.
@jin;are you kidding me,Charlize in demand right now,you wouldn’t hear about her anymore if it wasn’t for SWATH,give me a break.I have nothing against her,like i said she used to be beautiful,especially when she pose for playboy.
Kikay,
You do know Charlize is cast as a major character in Ridley Scott’s upcoming Prometheus?
She looks like Cyndi Lauper in that picture.
OMG I am on board for this movie. Everyone knows the best baddies have British accents! I couldn’t get the trailer to play on this site so I watched it on Rotten Tomatoes. They’re doing separate trailers focusing on the main characters. I got chills up my spine when Charlize said “mirror mirror…” I hope Bella isn’t the weak link of this movie.
@ overit: yes, mila would have been perfect.
But I think kstew is getting prettier and less awkward. This could be another big be a hit for her.
I’m going to see this just for Charlize Theron! The Evil Queen is so going to steal every scene! The movie looks more like a hybrid of Snow White and Erzebet Bathory ..lol.
I LOVE when they use great fashion costuming for the villain.
I loathe the Disney Snow White. When someone is determined to eat your internal organs, IDK what there is to be so perky about.
But this looks way better, with an appropriately moody, almost horror-esque vibe. Apparently the Grimm brothers made the evil queen Snow White’s stepmother (and later, no relation to SW at all), but originally, they were mother and daughter! (I hope Kris Jenner doesn’t get any ideas from this.)
@kikay, her career slowed down for a few years, but you better believe she is back and is in demand with some juicy roles on the horizon. People are raving about her acting in Young Adult and even say it wil be more memorable than her Oscar winning role in Monster. She’s finally being appreciated. Get used to it. You must be some teeny bopper Kristen fan calling her old at 35.
For those of you defending Kristen Stewart’s “acting” abilities, I’d like to direct your collective attention to Daniel Day-Lewis in Gangs of New York, Angelina Jolie in Girl, Interrupted, Leonardo DiCaprio in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, and Richard Harris in The Counte of Monte Cristo, just to name a few. These are *REAL* actors who are capable of emoting and pulling you into their fictional worlds because they can make you believe they *are* the characters they’re playing.
Kristen Stewart merely plays Kristen Stewart in every one of her movies, only her name is changed. How anyone considers that “talent” is beyond my ability to comprehend.
Damn, that looks awesome. Kristen may not have had any lines but she certainly looks badass. Love the armor.
@jin;The last time i believed in oscar is when Merryl Streep won her best actress in Sophies Choice,that was 1982. Now a days they only win oscar for either showing their tata’s and puss puss on the screen or for uglyfying them, giving them monster lesbian look or big nose or god nose what else and apparently it’s called acting .I’d rather give this girl a chance,i can see a great potential in her,and she knows how to separate her private lives private like Ms Streep,she don’t sell herself like some bimbo or pose naked in some magazine so people can see how beautiful she is,no thank you,i think i’ll give this girl a benefit of the doubt.
Uh,oh! You are trumped again – Streep won the Oscar again in 2012.
Snow White is in the title; she isn’t a supporting character. I’m sure a future trailer will be all about Snow. I think that we’re supposed to, maybe not root for the Queen but find her compelling. They want us invested in both sides, so they’ll market both characters equally.
How about instead of tearing down KStew we celebrate that here is a big budget, major studio, summer actioner that is billing *both* female leads *before* either of the male characters.
I just think, for once, we can shelve the KStew hate and be glad that there is a big time movie that has complicated, strong female characters that actually looks good, and they’re going to sell this movie on the strength of those female characters.
Charlize looks fierce!
And Chris Hemsworth looks amazing as the huntsman.
I’m thinking of a love triangle between the huntsman, Snow, and the prince.
Its looks good. Looking forward to seeing it.
The last thing I am is a feminist, so the fact that they seem to be marketing this movie based on two “strong” female leads doesn’t appeal to me in the least. If I attend at all, it will be in the hopes that Charlize Theron has the large part in this movie she deserves and that Kristen Stewart’s lines are very, very limited.
“Being the fairest” and not the “hottest” is what is key here. Being the fairest is more about youthful blossoming beauty, and it’s tied to innocence. This queen obviously kills young girls for their youthful beauty, she’s like a cannibal in that sense.
So it seems like everyone is missing the point here about kristen being “fairest” in relation to some hot queen. It’s her youth and her blossoming sexuality that is threatening the queen.
Who, might I add, from the trailer, is most likely an old witch who feeds of youthful beauties in reality.
Looks surprisingly good. From a selling standpoint I don’t grasp why the trailer underplays K-Stew so much. Not to mention very barely showing her in her much-touted-through-promo-stills warrior garb. The trailer is trying to be more Pottery and ominous, maybe? Charlize is gonna be awesome. Very pumped.
Meh…not impressed
Is it just me or does the last poster of the “queen” look more like Ali Larter than Charlize Theron?
This movie could actually be kinda cool – I hope they don’t fuck it up.
i want to see this movieeee
Hi there, I found your blog by way of Google whilst looking for a similar subject, your website got here up, it seems to be great. I’ve added to favourites|added to my bookmarks.
For the record Charlize is South Fafrikaan an edge to do the whole general posh English accent. South Fafrickaans have mishmashy English/Germanishy/Dutchy accent so she could probably pull it off better than K-Ew could.
no no NO! Mila K n Kristin S were not fit for the part. Kristin Kreuk, or Camilla Belle or that gorgeous girl from 90210. Forgotten what’s her name.
Charlize T? Nyeh. Doesnt do anything for me. Dont find her attractive. Altho her facial expressions r okay, i hated her fake british accent. It’s not even british! Maybe Cameron Diaz wud hav a better flair.
OR Leighton Meester. But my favour is leaning more towards Kristen Kreuk =))
