Snow White & The Huntsman: TV spot, “This is no fairy tale.”, but it is a very effective trailer...

Well SWATH had been pulling further and further ahead of Mirror, Mirror ever since last summer; but this TV spot seems like a final kick to the somewhat disappointing and only moderately successful Snow White film currently on release. As well as reminding those males &/or adults as yet unaffected by the marketing pull of a film that ranks number one for North American women to see this summer.

 SWATH greatest challenge this summer comes from its proximity to Sir Ridley Scott’s Prometheus, which also stars Charlize Theron. The films are a week apart in some countries and in others, primarily the UK they actually open on the same day. (release dates at the end.) Anyone who thinks there is no overlap between these two films needs to think again as there most certainly is, even if each film should have a , minimal, tilt (say 60/40) male/ female – female/male). It would be a real shame if either fails to maximise its potential (especially if they both live up to the creative excellence expected of them) because they are so close to each other. The similarities between British directors Sir Ridley Scott and Rupert Sanders shouldn’t be overlooked by those who are unsure about Sanders ability to pull off his first feature film.

Synopsis...

“In the epic action-adventure Snow White and the Huntsman, Kristen Stewart (Twilight) plays the only person in the land fairer than the evil queen (Oscar® winner Charlize Theron) out to destroy her. But what the wicked ruler never imagined is that the young woman threatening her reign has been training in the art of war with a huntsman (Chris Hemsworth, Thor, The Cabin In The Woods) dispatched to kill her. Sam Claflin (Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides) joins the cast as the prince long enchanted by Snow White's beauty and power.

The breathtaking new vision of the legendary tale is from Joe Roth, the producer of Alice in Wonderland, producer Sam Mercer (The Sixth Sense) and acclaimed commercial director and state-of-the-art visualist Rupert Sanders.”
