I’ve said this before, but Charlize Theron is sure to steal Universal Pictures’ Snow White and the Huntsman. Director Rupert Sanders has described this version of the fairy tale to be “visceral and a lot more grounded than the other renditions” and I have no doubt that the “emotional web” woven by the film will stem from Theron’s evil Queen.

Rupert Sanders has called Theron’s Queen Ravenna a “very believable, very realistic, very wounded character” and that “people who are wounded are much more dangerous.” This new featurette focuses on why Queen Ravenna does the things she does. Check it out below.

Synopsis:

In the epic action-adventure Snow White and the Huntsman, Kristen Stewart plays the only person in the land fairer than the evil queen (Oscar-winner Charlize Theron) who is 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) who was dispatched to kill her. Sam Claflin (Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides) joined 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.
