Snow White And The Huntsman Trailer

Promo Art For Snow White & The Huntsman

Here is a piece of promo art for Rupert Sander's Snow White And The Huntsman. Rupert's version is dark/gritty and has been attributed to the fantasy-style of Lord of The Rings. It's impressive cast includes Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth (Thor, Avengers, Red Dawn), Charlize Theron (Prometheus, Fury Road), Sam Claflin (Pirates 4), Noah Huntley, Nick Frost (Hot Fuzz, Attack The Block), Ray Winstone, Ian McShane (Deadwood), Bob Hoskins (Hook), Toby Jones (Captain America), Eddie Marsan (Sherlock Holmes, Jack The Giant Killer) and Steven Graham (Snatch, Boardwalk Empire).

Joel Kinnaman Cast As Lancelot In Arthur & Lancelot

HeatVision reports that Joel Kinnaman has landed the role of Lancelot in Warner Bros' Arthur & Lancelot. It had been reported that Joel and Kit Harrington (Game of Thrones) were the front-runners of the film. The studio will now have Joel do chemistry reads with other candidates that include Kit Harrington, Sam Claflin (On Stranger Tides, Snow White & The Huntsman), Dominic Cooper (Captain America, Devil's Double), Hans Matheson (Sherlock Holmes), Jim Sturgess, Ben Walker (Abe Lincoln Vampire Hunter, Paradise Lost) and Liam Hemsworth (Expendables 2). This very well means that Joel is now out of the running for Steven Soderbergh's The Man From UNCLE.

Joel Kinnaman & Kit Harington Front-Runners For Arthur & Lancelot

It was surprising when Warner Bros. axed potential remakes of Excalibur from both Bryan Singer (X-Men 1-2, Jack The Giant Killer, Usual Suspects) and Guy Ritchie (Sherlock Holmes 1-2, Snatch) to more forward with Arthur & Lancelot. A new "grounded" take on the classical tale from Wedding Crashers director David Dobkin was chosen instead with a budget around $90 million. It seemed a bit brash considering the talent behind the Excalibur projects but you never know with these things. I never thought comedy director Ruben Fleischer would end up making Gangster Squad. Since Ruben's credits only include Zombieland and 30 Minutes Or Less but it seems like the studio is giving chances to let directors branch out.

There is finally some interesting news casting-wise as ThePlaylist reports that Joel Kinnaman (Snabba Cash, The Killing) and Kit Harington (Game of Thrones) have come out as front-runners for the leads. It's unknown who is expected in what part but there is also a list of other candidates that includes names like Sam Claflin (Pirates 4, Snow White & The Huntsman, Dominic Cooper (Devil's Double, Captain America), Hans Matheson (Sherlock Holmes, Clash of The Titans), Jim Sturgess (50 Dead Men Walking, Cloud Atlas), Ben Walker (Paradise Lost, Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter) and Liam Hemsworth (Hunger Games, Expendables 2). Joel Kinnaman was recently toted as Steven Soderbergh's choice for the second lead in The Man From UNCLE which is being produced by David Dobkin. I expect Kit's rather large international following from Game of Thrones doesn't hurt his chances either.

Chris Hemsworth Confirmed For Snow White & The Huntsman

Deadline reports that Chris Hemsworth (Star Trek, Thor) has been officially cast in the huntsman role in Rupert Saunder's Snow White & The Huntsman. Hemsworth has proved he can carry a rather large film with Thor. Chris has three big films coming out within the next year which includes the Red Dawn remake, the horror film Cabin In The Woods written by Joss Whedon (Buffy, Avengers) who is also directing him in Avengers. So everyone will know him by the time this film is released.

While I'm not too impressed with the casting of Kristen Stewart in the role of Snow White. The other supporting cast of Charlize Theron as the Evil Queen and Sam Claflin (Ironclad, Pirates 4) as the Prince are decent enough now that Hemsworth is involved. Chris wasn't the only actor in mind as the studio reached out to Johnny Depp, Tom Hardy, Viggo Mortensen and Hugh Jackman.

Sam Claflin Joins Snow White & The Huntsman, Offer Out To Chris Hemsworth

Deadline reports that Sam Claflin (Pirates 4) has landed the role of the prince in Snow White & The Huntsman. Chris Hemsworth (Red Dawn, Thor, Cabin In The Woods) has been offered the role of the huntsman. It's been difficult for the studio to find someone for the role as Johnny Depp, Tom Hardy, Viggo Mortensen and Hugh Jackman were linked but never signed on. Kristen Stewart is confirmed as Snow White while Charlize Theron is attached to play the evil Queen.
