'Snow White and the Hunstman' Could Be a Trilogy Because Why Not?

Britt Hayes — Thu, 02 May 2013 00:30:17 +0000

Apparently it takes three films to tell the story of Snow White, so not only is ‘Snow White and the Huntsman‘ getting a sequel, it might also getting a third installment to make it a complete trilogy. ‘Snow White and the Huntsman’ is like ‘Star Wars‘ — at least, that’s what screenwriter David Koepp thinks.

'Snow White and Huntsman 2′ Will Arrive in 2015

Jacob Hall — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 22:26:01 +0000

Universal has announced they're making a sequel to 'Snow White and the Huntsman,' which means that either the first film was a sneaky success, or that studios are desperate for sequels. Regardless, the 2012 fantasy film's sequel is officially on the way, with plans to release it in 2015.

7 Films in the Running For Best Make-Up Oscar: Who Got Snubbed?

Jacob Hall — Sun, 16 Dec 2012 18:28:45 +0000

Trying to keep up with whatever the heck the Oscars are doing every year is a full time job for many entertainment journalists, mainly because of the organization's labyrinthine rules and often bizarre nomination process. In the case of some categories, all of the potential nominees are whittled down to a shorter list of potential nominees and then, from that list, the final nominations are decided. This is the case with the Best Make-Up Academy Award and the list of seven finalists has been revealed.

Can 'Snow White and the Huntsman 2′ Succeed Without Snow White?

Christopher Campbell — Tue, 11 Sep 2012 19:39:30 +0000

Imagine a movie just about the Temple of Doom, no Indiana Jones. How about one solely following the Prisoner of Azkaban with no Harry Potter in sight? Having a ‘Snow White and the Huntsman 2’ without Snow White just sounds odd. She is the brand.

As 'Snow White and the Huntsman' hits home video, it’s worth taking another look at where the property will go next. Since my last column devoted to plans for a ‘Snow White and the Huntsman 2,’ a few things have happened. The worst of them, to be honest, is that Bob Hoskins (“Muir”) has decided to retire from acting. So there goes one of the dwarfs. Greater issue for some of the movie’s fans, however, is the possible elimination or minimization of Kristen Stewart and the Snow White role. Goodbye presumed love triangle! So now what?

New to DVD and Blu-ray: 'Snow White' and the Greatest Love Story of All-Time

James Rocchi — Mon, 10 Sep 2012 15:00:14 +0000

New on DVD, Blu-ray and streaming this week, fractured fairy-tales, indie comedy, strange science-fiction and James Cameron's 'Titanic' comes to port. … 'Snow White and the Huntsman' Blu-ray/DVD One of two 'Snow White' re-vamps from last year, this was the one that looked and felt like it was lurking around, sullenly, in front [...]

Weekly Dose of Ridiculous: James Franco's New Movie, a Butt Injury at 'Bourne' Screening and More

Britt Hayes — Fri, 17 Aug 2012 20:15:40 +0000

We're impressed with the level of ridiculous this week has to offer. James Franco is making a movie about Lindsay Lohan's life, Universal is or isn't or is lying about dumping Kristen Stewart from the 'Snow White and the Huntsman' sequel, a dude shot himself in the butt at the movies, and 'The Price is Right' wants to add male models to their showroom. Could this week be any more ridiculous? Wait, don't answer that.

Universal Denies Kristen Stewart Was Dumped From 'Snow White and the Huntsman 2′

Nick Romano — Wed, 15 Aug 2012 20:52:24 +0000

When the announcement of another 'Snow White and the Huntsman' movie arose, fans wondered what direction Universal might take the fairy tale epic. Recently, it looked like our favorite 'Twilight' star Kristen Stewart was getting dropped from the film and Chris Hemsworth would be receiving all the attention for the next installment. But now, whether the original statement was falsely reported or Universal simply retracted what was stated initially, it looks like K-Stew is back in the game (or was never out of the game to begin with).

'Snow White and the Huntsman 2′ Ditches Kristen Stewart, May Spin-Off Chris Hemsworth

Damon Houx — Wed, 15 Aug 2012 01:05:45 +0000

Earlier this year, Universal was so high on 'Snow White and the Huntsman' that they hired David Koepp to draft a sequel before the first film was even released. The film ended up doing $154 Million domestic and nearly $400 Million worldwide (on a $170 Million budget), so a sequel made sense. Then it came out that Kristen Stewart and director Rupert Sanders had an affair. And now Koepp has left the sequel, Universal is saying that Stewart won't be back and they're talking about focusing on Chris Hemsworth's Huntsman.

New DVD and Blu-ray Releases — September 2012

Britt Hayes — Tue, 14 Aug 2012 14:07:55 +0000

Is it really September already? Movie (and Joss Whedon) lovers assemble! This month brings the highly-anticipated Blu-ray and DVD releases of 'The Avengers' and 'The Cabin in the Woods.' What else could you possibly need to beat the end of summer blues?

September 4

'The Five-Year Engagement' -- Directed by Nicholas Sto

Reel Women: Aging Beauty

Britt Hayes — Fri, 22 Jun 2012 15:50:04 +0000

Hollywood has been putting a twist on old fairy tales as of late with films like 'Mirror Mirror,' 'Snow White and the Huntsman,' and the upcoming 'Maleficent.' In these films, older actresses battle younger ones to retain their power -- is art imitating life?

Charlize Theron Shaves Her Head for 'Mad Max 4′

Sean O'Connell — Tue, 12 Jun 2012 15:20:30 +0000

Now that her publicity duties have slowed down for both ‘Prometheus’ and ‘Snow White and the Huntsman,’ Oscar nominee Charlize Theron’s free to start prepping for George Miller’s anticipated ‘Mad Max’ sequel, ‘Fury Road.’ First step? Get rid of all that pesky hair on top of her head.

Weekend Box Office Report: 'Madagascar 3′ vs 'Prometheus'

Jacob Hall — Sun, 10 Jun 2012 20:44:08 +0000

It's difficult to imagine two more different films going head-to-head at the box office. However, by appealing to completely different audiences, 'Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted' and 'Prometheus' both managed to emerge from the weekend as big winners, making this the first weekend in months where two new major releases opened strong.

Reel Women: Who's the Fairest of Them All?

Britt Hayes — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 17:13:14 +0000

'Snow White and the Huntsman' hit theaters last weekend, and with it a barrage of jokes from people wondering how anyone could consider Kristen Stewart more attractive than Charlize Theron.

We need to have a little talk because this is a problem.

Kristen Stewart's 'Snow White' is Gearing Up for a Sequel

Damon Houx — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 01:30:45 +0000

Universal was on shaky ground when 'Snow White and the Huntsman' hit theaters last Friday. Tracking suggested they could have back-to-back flops with it and 'Battleship.' But with a $55 Million weekend, and the likelihood that they will cross $100 Million domestic by Sunday means that they're stepping up their sequel plans.

'Snow White and the Huntsman 2′ Plans: Where Should the Sequel Go?

Christopher Campbell — Mon, 04 Jun 2012 16:10:38 +0000

‘Snow White and the Huntsman’ made a surprisingly impressive box office debut this past weekend, but the verdict on whether it’s actually a good or bad take on the classic fairy tale is up in the air.

A follow-up is indeed in the works (surely being fast-tracked now that the first is such a success), and given Hollywood’s mindset there is likely some truth to the presumption that ‘Snow White and the Huntsman 2’ would sadly concentrate more on the love triangle and start morphing into another 'Twilight' rip-off.

Weekend Box Office Report: 'Snow White and the Huntsman' Conquers

Jacob Hall — Sun, 03 Jun 2012 19:22:13 +0000

The box office can be a funny thing. Last weekend, 'Men in Black 3' made $55 million and was considered a disappointment. This weekend, 'Snow White and the Huntsman' pulled in $56 million and it's considered a roaring success. As bizarre as that sounds, it all makes sense when you look at the details.

Still Not Convinced About 'Snow White and The Huntsman'? Watch This Clip

Damon Houx — Wed, 30 May 2012 23:50:04 +0000

'Snow White and the Huntsman' is opening tomorrow, and it looks like another in this summer's line of films that were meant to be big blockbusters, but missed the mark. Perhaps audiences will enjoy it more than we did, but if you're on the fence, there's a last minute clip from the film to entice you.

'Snow White and the Huntsman' Review

Jordan Hoffman — Wed, 30 May 2012 18:30:44 +0000

The scenery is gorgeous. Charlize Theron looks great in close-up and her costumes are spectacular. The special effect of turning all those British character actors into dwarfs is impressive. Um. . .did I mention the scenery is gorgeous?

Yeah, I think I've said all the nice things I can think of concerning 'Snow White and the Huntsman,' a would-be epic that is merely lifeless at best and flat-out insipid at worst.

'Snow White And The Huntsman' Interactive Trailer Takes You Behind the Scenes

Melissa Molina — Wed, 23 May 2012 17:54:57 +0000

We've seen plenty of trailers at this point for Universal Pictures' 'Snow White and the Huntsman,' but this time around the studio decided it'd be cool if we knew a bit more of what was going on behind the scenes of the production, from the creation of the Mirror Man to what some of the actors had to endure while on set.

Kristen Stewart 'Dying' to Work with Robert Pattinson Again

Shauna Wright — Fri, 18 May 2012 02:49:53 +0000

Many successful couples say the secret to keeping the fire burning is not spending too much time together so that absence has the chance to make the heart grow fonder. Kristen Stewart, however, apparently didn't get the memo.

She says she'd love to make more movies with her boyfriend and 'Twilight' co-star Robert Pattinson -- maybe even the film adaptation of the steamy bestseller, 'Fifty Shades of Grey.'

New Movie Releases – June 2012

Britt Hayes — Wed, 16 May 2012 20:15:49 +0000

June is about to get big with much-anticipated movie releases like Pixar's 'Brave,' Ridley Scott's 'Prometheus,' and 'Snow White and the Huntsman.' We break down this month's new theatrical releases so you can get pumped for the 2012 summer movie season.

'Snow White and the Huntsman' Clips: The Evil Queen and Trolls Attack

Mike Sampson — Wed, 09 May 2012 13:09:03 +0000

'Snow White and the Huntsman' has a lot going against it. It's the second 'Snow White' movie to come in just a few months ('Mirror, Mirror' hit theaters in late March), it's attempting to put a modern, action-movie spin on the classic fairy tale, and it stars Kristen Stewart, an actress frequently criticized for her wooden line readings.

Yet despite all this, we can't help but think 'Snow White' looks pretty damn good.

International Posters for 'Snow White and the Huntsman' and 'Men in Black 3′

Jacob Hall — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 18:15:39 +0000

So much internet ink has been spilled over 'The Avengers' and 'The Dark Knight Rises' that it's easy to forget that there are plenty of other expensive blockbusters just around the corner. Consider these international posters for 'Men in Black 3' and 'Snow White and the Huntsman' a friendly nudge from your local movie studio, a reminder that yes, there are movies you should see this summer that don't star Iron Man or Batman.

'Snow White and the Huntsman' is Being Prepped for a Sequel

Damon Houx — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 22:17:17 +0000

The business of movie-making means that sometimes it's smarter to prep something that may not happen than not be ready for a smash hit. This explains why Universal is looking to hire David Koepp to write a follow up to 'Snow White and the Huntsman' without the film even having played in theaters.

What's That Song in the 'Snow White and the Huntsman' Commercial?

ScreenCrush Staff — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 15:48:34 +0000

Last night during ‘The Voice’, Universal debuted a brand new TV spot for ‘Snow White and the Huntsman.’ It’s a powerful new commercial that is doing a very good job distancing this Snow White film from ‘Mirror, Mirror.’ But what is that song playing throughout the commercial? Let’s investigate! It’s no coincidence that this ‘Snow [...]

'Snow White And The Huntsman' Sequel To Focus On The Huntsman?

Melissa Molina — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 17:09:56 +0000

'Mirror Mirror' has barely been in theaters for less than a couple of weeks and Universal Pictures has already determined that 'Snow White and the Huntsman' is the best movie of them all, so much so that they're willing to put their money where their mouth is with slowly but surely putting together the building blocks for a spinoff movie. What character can be so attractive for them story-wise that they have to move forward with this?

New TV Spots For 'Dark Shadows' And 'Snow White And The Huntsman'

Melissa Molina — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 17:50:34 +0000

The past month we've been flooded with a vast array of teaser trailers for every other major summer movie, making us all bubble with anticipation over what we think looks to be the best of the upcoming season. Now the carrot is being dangled in front of our faces again with a couple of new television spots for 'Dark Shadows' along with 'Snow White and the Huntsman.'

Charlize Theron: 'This is My Bitch Period'

Shauna Wright — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 12:55:18 +0000

Charlize Theron appeared at WonderCon last weekend to talk about her upcoming film, 'Snow White and the Huntsman,' in which she plays the Evil Queen. But if it seems like she's been playing a lot of evil queens lately, it's not your imagination. The impossibly beautiful actress says she's going through a "bitch period."

New Trailer Helps Kristen Stewart Win the 'Snow White' Battle

Sean O'Connell — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 15:50:12 +0000

When it comes to dueling Snow White stories, who’s the fairest of them all? Right now, it’s no contest. ‘Snow White and the Huntsman’ has defeated ‘Mirror Mirror’ as the can’t-miss fairy tale adaptation of 2012, thanks to spot-on casting and action-packed teasers like the latest full trailer that recently reached the web.
