Chris Hemsworth Wins!

Remember last week I told you that Universal’s Snow White and the Huntsman had finally found a male lead in Aussie hunk-of-the-month Chris Hemsworth?

Remember how I also mentioned that Relativity had a competing fairy tale themed film coming called The Brothers Grimm: Snow White AND that it would beat Hemsworth and company to the box office gate by about six months?

Well, it seems that Universal, so psyched about finally getting this pic cast, has moved up the release date. The new date for Snow White and the Huntsman is June 1, 2012 with The Brothers Grimm following on June 29, 2012!

So, while it’s Kristen Stewart vs Lily Collins as Snow White and Charlize Theron vs Julia Roberts as the Evil Queen, it’s not exactly Chris Hemsworth vs Armie Hammer since one is playing the titular Huntsman and the other is playing the Prince. (SWATH’s prince is played by Sam Claflin. Who?)

What I find most amusing about this face off is that everyone’s getting all hot and bothered about release dates when not one single frame of either film has actually been shot.
