In the battle of the Snow White films with Universal’s Snow White and the Huntsman and Relativity’s Mirror Mirror, you cannot deny that both of these films will be a visual delicacy to behold. That said, Snow White and the Huntsman has a decidedly darker tone but promises to be no less rich under director Rupert Sanders and costume design of three time Oscar-winner Colleen Atwood.

Yesterday, we brought you a sneak peek at the brand new trailer and look at Charlize Theron’s evil Queen Ravenna that gave us a taste of the quality of visuals to expect. Now take a look behind the scenes at the visual storytelling of Rupert Sanders and design philosophy of Colleen Atwood:

Synopsis:

In the epic action-adventure Snow White and the Huntsman, Kristen Stewart (Twilight) plays the only person in the land fairer than the evil queen (Oscar® winner Charlize Theron) out to destroy her. But what the wicked ruler never imagined is that the young woman threatening her reign has been training in the art of war with a huntsman (Chris Hemsworth, Thor) dispatched to kill her. Sam Claflin (Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides) joins the cast as the prince long enchanted by Snow White’s beauty and power.

The breathtaking new vision of the legendary tale is from Joe Roth, the producer of Alice in Wonderland, producer Sam Mercer (The Sixth Sense) and acclaimed commercial director and state-of-the-art visualist Rupert Sanders.

Snow White and the Huntsman is slated to hit theaters on June 1st, 2012.
