Just a couple of weeks ago, Relativity Media finally decided on an official title for their Tarsem Singh (Immortals) directed Snow White film, and over the past couple of months we’ve brought you a bevy of pictures from the movie that showed some impressive design and costumes, but didn’t really indicate the tone of the forthcoming film.
Now, Relativity has released the first trailer for Mirror Mirror starring Lily Collins and it draws a very clear line of distinction between itself and Universal’s Snow White and the Huntsman. Check it out below and let us know what you think in the comments.
Trailer: Mirror Mirror
Synopsis:
Relativity’s Mirror Mirror is a spectacular reimagining of the classic fairy tale starring Oscar winner Julia Roberts as the Queen, Lily Collins as Snow White, Armie Hammer as Prince Alcott, Sean Bean as the King and Nathan Lane as the Queen’s hapless and bungling servant, Brighton. An evil queen steals control of a kingdom and an exiled princess enlists the help of seven resourceful rebels to win back her birthright in a spirited adventure comedy filled with jealousy, romance and betrayal that will capture the imagination of audiences the world over.
Visionary director Tarsem Singh rewrites fairy tale history as a wicked enchantress (Roberts) schemes and scrambles for control of a spirited orphan’s (Collins) throne and the attention of a charming prince (Hammer). When Snow White’s beauty wins the heart of the prince that she desperately pursues, the Queen banishes her to the forest, where a ravening man-eating beast hungrily awaits.
Rescued by a band of diminutive highway robbers, Snow White grows into an indomitable young woman determined to take back her realm from the treacherous Queen. With the support of her subjects, she roars into action in an epic battle that blends spectacle, magic and contemporary humor in Singh’s signature, jaw-dropping visual style.
Mirror Mirror is slated to hit theaters on March 16th, 2012.
