Not long after getting Chris Hemsworth to officially sign on as the Huntsman of the title, Universal have moved the release date of Snow White & The Huntsman up - considerably so, to July 1. Not only does this put the movie into the blockbuster season, it also puts it up against...Snow White??
Yes, Relativity Media are releasing 'The Brothers Grimm: Snow White' on June 29. So now slap bang in the middle of an already massive summer we have two dueling Snow White movies. How will this pan out? Well, 'Huntsman' has Kirsten Stewart, Hemsworth and Charlize Theron, whilst 'Brothers Grimm' features Julia Roberts and is directed by Tarsem (Immortals). There's no doubt that they have plenty of competition anyway, apart from each other, so it'll be interesting to see how they do. Of course, they may both get great publicity prior to the releases, but only one can do better and no doubt that will have some damning press results for the loser....
The above photo isn't of either movies, but we all know Rachel Weisz would be fantastic.
