Universal has released a great first trailer for Rupert Sanders' SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN. It's exactly what Sanders promised it would be: huge in scope, gritty, dark and action-packed. Tonally and visually the film will be incredibly different to Tarsem Singh's competing Snow White film "Mirror, Mirror", which he just recently described as being a children's film. Is it just me, or does Zack Hemsey’s “Mind Heist” make any trailer that much better? Sam Claflin, Noah Huntley, Nick Frost, Ray Winstone, Ian McShane, Bob Hoskins, Toby Jones, Eddie Marsan and Steven Graham co-star. Snow White and the Huntsman hits theaters June 1st, 2012.

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) who is 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) who was 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.
