Julia Roberts, Mirror Mirror
Tarsem Singh's Mirror Mirror, Relativity Media's Snow White movie, stars Lily Collins, Julia Roberts, and Armie Hammer as respectively, Snow White, the Evil Queen, and Prince Charming. As the light, colorful, cartoonish Mirror Mirror trailer clearly demonstrates (see below), apart from the medieval-looking settings and the presence of Snow White, her friends, her foe, and her lover, Mirror Mirror will have little in common with Rupert Sanders' grittier Snow White and the Huntsman, which stars Kristen Stewart, Liam Hemsworth, and Charlize Theron as, respectively, Snow White, the Huntsman, and the Evil Queen.
After some dancing about, Mirror Mirror is scheduled to open March 16; Snow White and the Huntsman hits theaters on June 1. Regardless of what pundits say, those movies will not be in competition with one another. Relativity Media is marketing Mirror Mirror to the PG crowd (the video was released on Nickelodeon's Parents Connect), whereas Universal is plugging Snow White and the Huntsman to the crowd that loved The Lord of the Rings movies and who'll be watching The Hobbit. Not to mention, of course, fans of Thor and the various Twilight movies.
Mirror Mirror also features Sean Bean, Nathan Lane, Robert Emms, Michael Lerner, and Mare Winningham. Melissa Wallack and Jason Keller adapted (and apparently fully revamped) the old Brothers Grimm tale.
