According to "The Hollywood Reporter" Rupert Sanders will direct SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN, a new take on the famous fairy tale in which the huntsman, who was ordered to take Snow White into the woods and kill her, but decided to let her free, will now have a new role. In this new film he will actually be shackled to the girl for a good deal of the movie and the huntsman will not be a love interest, instead he will act as a mentor, with the prince still very much a part of the story.
At the same time Walt Disney Pictures is also preparing their version of this fairy tale called SNOW AND THE SEVEN which will be a fantasy-adventure about a young British girl who is trained to fight by seven Shaolin monks :(
The first very gripping teaser trailer for the upcoming film adaptation of science fiction book series I AM NUMBER FOUR is finally here. It brings some
intense flashes from this intriguing sf story about an earthbound alien disguising himself as a high school student in an attempt to hide from a rival species looking to destroy his race. Gorgeous young cast including magnetic Alex Pettyfer, Jake Abel, gorgeous Dianna Agron, mesmerizing Teresa Palmer, Callan McAuliffe alongside Timothy Olyphant and Kevin Durand, will portray a group of nine earthbound alien teens who escaped their home planet just before it was destroyed by a hostile species. While the high school-aged kids assimilate, one of them discovers that he is being hunted by the enemy that blew up his planet. The film premieres next February.
I love the trailer. Looks exciting and sexy. It's funny how much fairy tale remakes they're doing.

Number Four looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteAnd it appears there's a lot of fairy tale movies coming out soon. Must be the latest fad.
Damn even snow white getting gangsta!! huhhhhh what's what's up!! lol
ReplyDeletei am number four sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteand why do they always come out with similar movies at the same time??? this time it's snow white, next year it will be little red riding hood...
# 4 sounds like Twilight from outer space. I like the concept of Snow White and the Huntsman, but Snow White and the seven shaolin monks sounds absolutely silly.

Tossing It Out
I am the new #2, you are #6.
ReplyDeletethat could be interesting.
I really like kung-fu snow white. This could be really good.
Number Four looks quite attracting but I think nothing we haven't seen before. If it is different to other movies of the same genre, it needs to show it in the trailer.
ReplyDelete@Clarissa
ReplyDeleteit is exciting and sexy :)
@Alex
yes, ruining fairy tales is the latest crime they're committing in Hollywood
@Falen
it's true, even the tender girls have gone gangsta' in tha hood mood :(
@Vics
ReplyDeleteLITTLE RED RIDING HOOD really is coming next spring, and CINDERELLA, LITTLE MERMAID and MALEFICENT are in preparation already.
@Arlee
it does sound like TWILIGHT but it has a cast which can act :)
@Budd
I hope I won't be #13 :)
@Jaccsy
this is just a teaser, I'm guessing we shall more in a trailer :)
Oh Number 4 looks tidy!! I like the look of that! Huntsman looks interesting too :)
ReplyDeleteSnow and the Seven; wow, what a new approach to a classic!
ReplyDeleteDEZMOND - Oh, I Am Number Four looks good. Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteI am Number Four looks like it might be good, it's got a nice edge to it. Though it runs the risk of being a typical teen drama too :(
ReplyDelete@Lynda
ReplyDeleteglad you like it, Lynds
@Avalon
a new and a strange one :)
@Shells
me too :)
@Jamie
it's true, it could get too teeny, hope it won't.
Oh I think this is the movie that Sharlto Copley was once attached to. I would've loved to see him in this.
ReplyDeleteit is, but I must admit I was personally very excited when they gave the role to Alex Pettyfer.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see a Glee cast member getting some big screen gigs! That movie looks interesting. And I'm interested in hearing more about this Snow White movie... no casting for that yet?
ReplyDeleteNo, no casting yet, it's early pre-production.
ReplyDeletenumber four looks so cool! I am so glad you posted because I had no idea it was coming, and the new snow white looks really cool too! I love the way you present your movies and previews, I totally love your blog!
ReplyDeleteGLad you like it, Debs. The Snowhite pic isn't from the film, since the film isn't even in production yet, it's just a cool pic I found to illustrate the piece of news :)
ReplyDeleteSnowhite and Shaolin Monks? What an interesting combination. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm Number Four looks interesting, but so did a Covenant a few years back. I've learned not to expect much (or even a little) from teenage/young_adult fantasy sub-genre. It tends to disappoint you again and again.
It's true, Bels, I'm guessing it is so because those teen movies weren't made for us but for teens :) This is why I don't expect much as you said it.
