In the eternal race to see which SNOW WHITE project can dominate the other, SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN appears to always be a step ahead by first having a title (the other film is now called MIRROR MIRROR), and now being the first to have a trailer.
The “teaser” spot actually shows quite a lot. I’m having trouble deciding whether it looks amazing, or like a super high budget CollegeHumor parody of how ridiculous it is that we’re taking all the simplest classic stories and turning them into full-length blockbuster action epics.
That said, you really can see the vivid visual stylings of director Tarsem Singh. Oh wait, he’s doing MIRROR MIRROR? Damnit! I am, however, upon my third viewing, tempted to put this in the “awesome” rather than “awful” column. Though I could be proven wrong.
