'Snow White And The Huntsman' Trailer: Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron And Chris Hemsworth Get Physical

Snow White And The Huntsman Trailer

It appears Charlize Theron is living up to that self-described "evil b****" label.

After debuting at WonderCon over the weekend, the newest trailer for "Snow White and the Huntsman" has hit the web, and it provides viewers with an even darker look at Theron's Evil Queen. For instance, she wants to murder the "fairest of them all" heir, Snow White (Kristen Stewart), by eating her heart.

Translation: if you're expecting a friendlier fairytale closer to the original Brothers Grimm story (see: "Mirror Mirror") you'll be sorely disappointed. This clip from the film features epic battle scenes, frightening monsters and -- it appears -- demons.

"It’s really a big kind of swashbuckling knights in armor kind of movie, basically," director Rupert Sanders told Movieline in an interview this weekend. "We’ve lots of castles on hilltops and horse battles and shattering black armies, it’s kind of a medieval fairytale, with the kind of scale of the films that people love, like 'Gladiator' or 'Lawrence of Arabia.' It’s got those big sweeping vistas. It’s a big and imaginative world."

For an extended, five-minute look at "Huntsman," which gives fan a little more background to the movie's story, head over to xfinity.

"Snow White and the Huntsman," starring Stewart, Theron and Chris Hemsworth, hits theaters June 1.

Being a writer myself I prefer this version of the story. I would be gratful that my stories have survived the test of time but I would much rather someone come along and adapt my original story. I think people forget that it was disney who took these stories and turned them into the sugary sweet stories we all grew up with. They are cute and funny for children but the original Grimm stories are a far cry from the disney movies. I love them and even raised my daughter on the real stories when she became a little older.

And thank the gods for that. What Disney did to the old tales is positively atrocious.

"Positively atrocious" seems a bit harsh.

Disney took a few century-old stories and re-told them with music in a way that made them more palatable for kids. They're beloved movies and Disney's Snow White was a groundbreaking film.

Why not just celebrate that there's a new version that's closer to the original story? Your micro-bio calls for tolerance. Calling classic Disney films "positively atrocious" doesn't seem very tolerant.

If you look past the fact that Kirsten Stewart is Snow White this movie looks great, I was sold once I saw Charlize as the Evil Queen, I do wish they could've gotten Natalie Portman to play Snow White though.

"if you're expecting a friendlier fairytale closer to the original Brothers Grimm story..." Does the writer of this piece realize that the original Brothers Grimm story was quite violent and nothing like the "Disney" version he is thinking of?
