Doubt me? Shut up watch this highly explosive 1.52 minute trailer for the film that debuted on Apple. It. Looks. WICKED!Click here.
HOLY FUCKSICLES! Am I right or am I right? Since attending the Snow White and the Huntsman panel at San Diego Comic Con earlier this year I've been pumped about British director Rupert Sanders' debut. The test footage we saw has definitely progressed into the trailer, especially the scenes with Charlize Theron. At the Con Sanders said he envisioned the film as part of a The Lord Of The Rings scale trilogy and it certainly has that epic feel. The trailer gave me goose bumps.
In a twist to the fairy tale, the Huntsman (Chris Hemsworth aka mighty Thor) is ordered to take Snow White (Kristen Stewart) into the woods to be killed but winds up becoming her protector and mentor in a quest to vanquish the Evil Queen (Charlize Theron). SWATH is one of two big budget Snow White flicks opening next year. The other is directed by Tarsem Singh (Immortals) and stars Lily Collins as Snow and Julia Roberts as the Evil Queen. To be honest, I was always more enthusiastic about Sanders' take and now after comparing his trailer to the others official pics, SWATH is going to slay Singh's technicolour lolly fare. Its title? The Brothers Grimm: Snow White. Boring.

Boring.Props to the marketing team by the way, who have not only released a bunch of ready-to-go-posters (see above, middle, below) but the trailer debut is a very well planned strategy. Given production only started in the UK less a month ago, you wouldn't think they would have enough finished and special-effected footage for a 30 second trailer let alone a meaty one. But they've pumped out a spectacular trailer and utilised the interest in Kristen Stewart at the moment (given the release of Breaking Dawn Part 1 next week).
I haven't been this excited about a movie in a long time. Oh, wait, I am about The Dark Knight Rises. And Avengers. And The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Lets just say 2012 is going to be the year of the worthwhile blockbuster.
