Looks like the Snow White feature film death race of 2012 has kicked off its second leg with a bang ‐ a terrible, gobsmacking, color-dazzling nightmare of a bang. Tarsem Singh’s take on the tale of the snow-white-skinned princess and her vertically challenged woodland friends is the more comedic of next year’s dueling Snow White features ‐ Mirror, Mirror is the one that stars Lily Collins, Armie Hammer, Julia Roberts, Nathan Lane, and Sean Bean ‐ though after this first trailer, absolutely no one will mix it up with Rupert Sanders’ darker Snow White and the Huntsman.
Tarsem’s take on the Grimm Brothers fairy tale has long been rumored to be a comedic family adventure, though this first extended look at the film looks more like a comedic adventure for drug addicts and people who think Julia Roberts is capable of pulling off an accent that is somehow not totally laughable. Tarsem’s seemingly pulled together all the elements of the Snow White story ‐ evil queen, lovely princess, dumb bunny hunk o’ prince, dwarfs to save the day ‐ without even a smidgen of irony. Take a bite of the acid-laced apple that is Mirror, Mirror and check out the first trailer after the break.
Mirror, Mirror opens on March 16, 2012. For those still keeping track, Snow White and the Huntsman opens on June 1, 2012. [Yahoo! Movies]
