Snow White Doesn't Just Sing and Eat Poisonous Apples ;)

Said to be released on the 1^st of June 2012, the movie “Snow White and the Huntsman” will be gracing theaters near you with the cast of Kristen Stewart *let’s hope we don’t see another Bella alright? Fingers crossed!* as Snow White

And Chris Hemsworth *who played the sexy God of thunder, Thor in Marvel’s The Avengers. Drools…* as the Huntsman.

Before the list of confirmed cast was announced, the producers actually had lesser-known actress choices in mind, some names like Riley Keough, Felicity Jones, Bella Heathcote, Alicia Vikander and Rachel Maxwell was mentioned. In the end, Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning (both former casts from Twilight) were short listed for the role.

As for the handsome huntsman, you guys will never expect who this role was first offered to~ It was Johnny Depp! And when he declined, the producer’s 2^nd choice was none other than Viggo Mortensen. Can you imagine if either one of them had accepted this role, it’s gonna be either Edward Scissorhands/ Mad Hatter/ Sweeny Todd or Aragorn training Snow White to battle the evil queen? Indefinitely, Aragorn sounds like the more feasible choice anyway…hmm…

What’s to be expected of this movie you ask? Well, this story is NOT a sugar coated love story full of dancing animals and sing-a-long songs like we have all watched and loved during our early years with Disney cartoons.

Looking at the trailer itself, something more dark and forbidding is to be expected. There is also a little tweak in the story line where the huntsman who plays a very minor role in the original story has been upgraded to be one of the main characters in the plot where he captures her, but changes his mind in handing her over to the castle guards and trains her in the art of battle to challenge the evil queen (Charlize Theron) as rightful successor to the kingdom.

Even 90% of polls in rottentomatoes.com are excited and anticipating to watch this show. What say you? ;)
