Armie Hammer Joins Tarsem Singh's Snow White & Saoirse Ronan Could Play The Lead

Things are heating for Tarsem Singh's (The Fall, The Immortals) The Brothers Grimm: Snow White as Deadline reports on some casting updates. They confirm that Armie Hammer (Social Network) has been cast as the Prince and Saoirse Ronan (Hanna, Atonement) is talks for Snow White. It's great news as the only previous casting was an odd choice of Julia Roberts as the Evil Queen. If Saoirse takes the part it would rule her out of The Hobbit.

With Hammer and possibly Ronan in the leads this could end up being the more solid of the Snow White films in development. Tarsem recently wrapped the Greek mythology epic The Immortals with new Superman Henry Cavill. It doesn't look good for Snow White & The Huntsman as they only have Kristen Stewart committed to the film.
