It took me a bit to compose myself when I read that Julia Roberts was going to be playing the Evil Queen in Snow White. Talk about typecasting. KAPOW. I’m kidding. No I’m not.

Anyhoo, PopeEater is reporting that The Brothers Grimm: Snow White has Brett Ratner as its director and that:

“Julia was our first and only choice to play the Queen,” said producer and Relativity CEO Ryan Kavanaugh about the casting decision. Roberts wasrumoured to be up for the role earlier this month.

“She is an icon,” Kavanaugh continued. “We know that she will make this role her own in a way that no one else could.”

Oh, she will totally be owning that role.
