FIRST LOOK: Photos Of Lily Collins, Armie Hammer And Julia Roberts In Tarsem Singh's SNOW WHITE

Here's our first look at Relativity Media's SNOW WHITE (You can expect a different title when it comes out) being helmed by director Tarsem Singh (IMMORTALS, THE CELL).

This version of Snow White (the other in production right now is with Universal Pictures starring Kristen Stewart) sports a cast of Lily Collins in the titular role, Armie Hammer as the prince and Julia Roberts as the evil queen.

Says Singh of his star evil queen: “She outsources her evil, just like most people. I wanted a person who is just schizophrenic. She’s a person who would just do all the evil she needs to do to stay in power.”

Here's some of the storyline (unofficial):
This family oriented film has Snow White being exiled into the wilderness after the queen’s majordomo (Nathan Lane) can’t bring himself to kill her. Seven dwarfs take pity on a fellow outcast. The dwarfs are bandits that live in the woods outside the kingdom and wear stilts when they attack passing caravans, which has the citizens fearing giants – not little guys. They begin offering their skills to help her and her plight verses the queen. Like many evil-doers, this evil queen maintains a phony cheerful demeanor in public, and prefers not to get her own hands dirty with such menial issues as murdering her step-daughter, which is the only way to maintain her place on the throne. Luckily for Snow White, that means she can remain undetected for a while and attempt to unseat the woman who is destroying her late father’s kingdom. She has some helpers, of course. Seven of them.

Those seven are (pictured: left to right): Jordan Prentice, Joey Gnoffo , Sabastian Saraceno, Collins, Martin Klebba, Mark Provinelli, Ronald Lee Clark and Danny Woodburn.

Again, no need to tell you where the source is - it's plastered all over the photos unfortunately.

Look for SNOW WHITE on June 29, 2012.

Marvel's THE AVENGERS To Shoot In LA And Relativity Media's SNOW WHITE To Shoot In Montreal

Just some shooting location updates for you: Marvel is apparently changing their plans to shoot THE AVENGERS in New York City (via Bleeding Cool) and will move the lion's share of the production to Los Angeles.

That's it. Move along. Nothing more to see here. Just don't mess this thing up guys! I am sooo invested in seeing a quality product with this ensemble movie.

Speaking of production location news, Relativity Media's SNOW WHITE will be shot in Montreal at Mel's Studios where they will be building a 100,000 square foot village just for the movie.

Shooting for director Tarsem Singh (IMMORTALS) will take place from April to June, 2011 and it seems that the production will faithfully follow the darker Brother's Grimm fairy tale rather than other lighter versions. Release window is in 2012.

More details on these stereoscopic 3D productions when I get them!

Relativity Media's Modern Take On SNOW WHITE To Be Made In 3D!!

Looks like Relativity Media has picked up the rights to Melisa Wallack's script for THE BROTHERS GRIMM: SNOW WHITE and they plan on giving the classic children's tale a modern spin and produce it in 3D.

Relativity's Tucker Tooley is executive producing along with Bernie Goldmann, Brett Ratner and Ryan Kavanaugh in the producer's role.

"Talent and directors of the highest level have already responded to the new, edgier concept, and to Melissa's script," Goldmann said. "While retaining the elements of the beloved Brothers Grimm tale, this is certainly not your mother's Snow White."

Sounds intriguing! Kind of like Disney's modern live action take on Cinderella I would wager. Looks like we will be in for a few movies in this new paradigm.
