Charlize Theron taking a bath in milk. You're welcome, America.
When it comes to fairy tales, there’s not much you can do to modernize them. After all, the versions most people are familiar with are sanitizes for children; if you go back to the original tales, full of mayhem, murder, and general creepiness, you’ve already got a modern tale ready to be told. So it goes with Snow White; everyone knows the singing dwarfs, but are you ready to see Snow White in a suit of armor doing battle with a murderous, sensual Evil Queen? I hope you are, because it’s almost here! Universal has unveiled the first trailer for Snow White and the Huntsman.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VY67V0wOlz8I have to admit, I kind of like the looks of this. I completely reject the basic premise that Kristen Stewart’s Snow White will ever possibly be hotter than Charlize Theron as completely illogical, but from the trailer, it looks as though Theron’s Evil Queen isn’t exactly in her right frame of mind in general, so maybe she’s going after the completely wrong girl and the real most beautiful girl in the land is safely scrubbing floors in some farmhouse. Or maybe they just mean Snow White is a more beautiful person than the Queen because Snow White is good, not crazy and evil?
Either way, it’s nice to see Chris Hemsworth as The Huntsman and working outside of the Marvel-verse, even if I’m not crazy about his Snow White.
