About Snow White and the Huntsman
In Snow White and the Huntsman, a breathtaking new vision
of the legendary tale begins.
Kristen Stewart (the
Twilight saga, On the Road) plays the only person in
the land fairer than the evil Queen Ravenna (Oscar® winner
Charlize Theron of
Prometheus, Hancock) who is out to destroy
her. But what the wicked ruler never imagined was that the
young woman who has escaped her clutches and now threatens her
reign has been training in the art of war with a Huntsman named
Eric (Chris Hemsworth of
Thor, The Avengers) who was dispatched to capture
her.
Sam Claflin (Pirates of the
Caribbean: On Stranger Tides) accompanies the film's cast of
international superstars as William, the young duke long enchanted
by Snow White's defiance and innate purity. He is joined in this
quest by dwarves accompanying Snow White and the Huntsman on their
fantastical journey.
The epic action-adventure is brought to the screen by
Joe Roth, the billion-dollar
blockbuster producer of Alice in Wonderland, producer
Sam Mercer (The Sixth Sense)
and, in his feature-film debut, acclaimed commercial director and
state-of-the-art visualist Rupert
Sanders. www.snowwhiteandthehuntsman.com
