Who, you might ask? Collins is the daughter of former Genesis frontman Phil Collins and a supporting actress in WB’s unexpected hitThe Blind Side. Since then she booked a role opposite teen sensation Taylor Lautner inAbductionand a part in the long-delayed vampire hunter movie, Priest. Saoirse Ronan wasreportedly“in talks” for the role last week (when Hammer boarded the project), but Singh was smitten with Collins’ dark, distinctive eyebrows, he joked toThePlaylistat WonderCon this past weekend.
I suppose this means that Collins is also automatically the feature film rival ofKristen Stewart, who is set to play the princess in Universal’sSnow White and the Huntsmanscheduled for a release six months later. But the mental image of Collins and Stewart duking it out for Snow White supremacy seems infinitely more entertaining than either of their two fairy tale re-tellings. Is there any chance we can lobby to combine the two and turn it into a Snow White cage match? Sure, it’s notentirelyfaithful to the source material, but neither is turning the king into a dragon.
Both“re-imaginings” borrow heavily from the familiar story of Snow White, including evil queens, witchcraft, talking mirrors, seven dwarves, and handsome princes, but Singh’s 3D film (formerly titledThe Brothers Grimm: Snow White) hews closest to the version already told by Disney nearly 75 years ago. Snow White communes with animals and performs her chores as a humble servant while her evil step-mother (Roberts) mismanages the kingdom into poverty. The arrival of Prince Andrew Alcott (Hammer), who is being forced to select a suitable wife, sets up a chance encounter with the lovely Snow White and her inevitable rivalry with the Queen as they both vie for his affection (and riches).
Singh’sSnow Whiteis set for June 29, 2012 and Rupert Sander’sSnow White and the Huntsmanwill hit on December 21, 2012.
