Tarsem Singh’s bright Crayola and Skittles- colored version of Snow White, Mirror Mirror, has been growing on me lately, with all of the trailers and posters we’ve been getting. They seem to have finally gotten the idea across that it’s meant to be a comedy and isn’t just campy (although I’m not leaving out the possibility that it’s both).  The new poster above seems to be going for Disney-esque family friendly fun. Everything I’ve seen also tells me I’m right in assuming that Julia Roberts had a blast playing the Evil Queen. Watch this first tv spot (courtesy of ComingSoon) and tell me I’m wrong.

The film  stars Lily Collins (The Blind Side) as an exiled princess who enlists the help of seven resourceful rebels to win back her birthright and Oscar®-winner Julia Roberts as an evil Queen who steals control of a kingdom, in a magical adventure comedy filled with jealousy, romance, and betrayal that will capture the imagination of audiences the world over. The film also stars Armie Hammer (The Social Network) as the object of their affection, Prince Andrew Alcott, and Nathan Lane (The Birdcage) as the hapless and bungling servant to the Queen

Mirror Mirror hits theaters in the UK on 16^th March, hi-ho-ing it to the US on March 30

Just the other day I mentioned that Mirror Mirror, Tarsem Singh's  take on the whole Snow White thing, was opening on March 16, well ahead of the June 1 release for that othe Snow White movie. Well, apparently not.

Relativity announced yesterday that Mirror Mirror will move to March 30, and will now open against The Wrath of the Titans.  The move follows another Relativity schedule shuffle, as they moved the John Cusack, Edgar Allan Poe murder mystery,The Raven, back to April 27. The Mirror Mirror move is to put the film closer to Easter weekend (which makes sense. It looks light and fluffy and fairly kid friendly. It will certainly have a different target audience than WotT) Disney's John Carter scared off The Raven.

Along with the move announcement, Relativity has released a new trailer for the international market, featuriing some new footage but still emphasizing the lighthearted humor as well as the adventure. (It's interesting that both new Snow White stories emphasize Snow's empowerment but one where one is light, the other dark.) I don't know, maybe it won't be so bad afterall.

Mirror Mirror stars Lily Collins, Julia Roberts, Nathan Lane and oh yeah, Sean Bean as the King!

Mirror Mirror is the candy colored, cartoonish version of the Snow White story coming to theaters this Spring. The one being distributed by Relativity starring Lily Collins and Julia Roberts and NOT starring Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron.

At this stage, I think it's important we keep them straight in our minds, although since Mirror Mirror is coming out in March and that other one in June, one could see them both.

Thanks to ParentsConnect (via ComingSoon) we have a mini featurette wherein Lily Collins talks about her version of the Snow White character. She describes her as "modern". I just hope the song playing underneath this thing isn't actually  going to be in the movie.

So, is this supposed to be a comedy? I'm confused. I want to like it, I really do. I like Nathan Lane. Armie Hammer certainly looks like a charming prince and Julia Roberts seems to be having enough fun to almost carry this thing on her own, but I'm still looking forward to that other Snow White movie more than this one. We'll see. Mirror Mirror opens in the US, Canada and the UK on March 16

We have a bunch of cool behind-the-scenes pics (and 1 new still) taken during the making of Tarsem Singh’s Mirror Mirror. This version of the Snow White tale is going a more traditional route than that of Snow White and the Huntsman. (Traditional in terms of what the public is used to, more Disney-esque, let’s say. SWTH is closer to the dark side of the Grimm tale.) The pics seem to center around scenes taking place in a snow covered birch forest, which is actually a soundstage, with Snow (Lily Collins) and Brighton (Nathan Lane).

Lily Collins will not be wearing armor nor fighting battles, and the dwarves appear to be played by actual Little People (The actors are Jordan Prentice, Joey Gnoffo, Sabastian Saraceno, Martin Klebba, Mark Provinelli, Ronald Lee Clark and Danny Woodburn. No word yet if any of them are grumpy, happy or sleepy), but the first trailer looked stunningly campy. Julia Roberts looked to be having a blast as the Evil Queen, but Armie Hammer looked like he was wondering how he’d gone from The Social Network to J. Edgar to this.

Mirror Mirror stars, in addition to Collins, Roberts, Hammer and Nathan Lane, Mare Winningham, Michael Lerner and Sean Bean as the King *swoon*. Relativity will release it March 16 making it the first out of the gate, but will it be forgotten by June 1 when Kristen Stewart and Chris Hemsworth charge into theaters?

Relativity Media has released the first two posters for Tarsem Singh’s Mirror Mirror, which opens in the US on March 16 (Beating Rupert Sanders’ Snow White and the Huntsman out of the blocks by nearly 2 months. Curses!). That’s Julia Roberts looking better than she has since Pretty Woman, as the Evil Queen and Lily Collins (daughter of Phil) as Snow White. Armie Hammer plays her Prince.

Paramount has released the second poster for The Devil Inside, which opens in the US just in time to rid you of any residual Christmas cheer on January 6 (Kings Day actually). This new poster features a possessed nun, and that is about as scary as it gets, IMHO.

This is merely a first teaser poster for Jack the Giant Killer. It’s a modern day fairy tale in which the long-standing peace between men and giants is threatened, as a young farmer leads an expedition into the giants' kingdom in hopes of rescuing a kidnapped princess. Directed by Bryan Singer and starring Nicholas Hoult as Jack along with Ewan McGregor, Stanley Tucci, Bill Nighy, Warwick Davis,  Ian McShane and Eddie Marsan, the film opens June 15 in the US and the UK.

The 2^nd poster for The Expendables 2 leaves Stallone standing alone among the rubble. (Does that bode ill for the inevitable Expendables 3 cast? Will he have to start from scratch?)In this one, Bruce Willis’ Mr. Church reunites Barney Ross (Stallone) and the rest of the Expendables for what should be an easy paycheck, but when one of his men is murdered on the job, their quest for revenge puts them deep in enemy territory and up against an unexpected threat. Directed by Simon West (Con Air, The Mechanic), the film opens August 17 in the US.

And finally, did you know that Goon played TIFF? Somehow that strikes me as a non sequitur. I must say, this movie looks like more fun than it has a right to. The cast is just too talented. It’s like Slap Shot’s goofy cousin. In addition to Seann William Scott, Live Schreiber is playing the villain, Kim Coates the beleaguered coach, Allison Pill the hockey groupie…Goon opens in the UK on 6^th January, VOD in the US on February 24 and in a limited theatrical run on March 30.

The latest volley in the big battle of the dueling Snow White’s is a trailer for Tarsem Singh’s now titled Mirror, Mirror. You know, the one with Julia Roberts, Armie Hammer and Phil Collins’ daughter Lily.  That other one, Snow White and the Huntsman has Charlize Theron, Chris Hemsworth and Kristen Stewart. It’s kind of like the Greek vs the Roman Gods…only not.  I can imagine that Universal rushed the SWatH trailer out there to capitalize on KStew’s ubiquity due to Breaking Dawn’s imminent opening. Relativity is probably hoping to stick the trailer for Mirror, Mirror on the coattails of the success of its latest release, Immortals.

These two films have since we saw the first images, appeared to be completely opposite each other in style and tone. This trailer confirms it. Where SWatH is dark and dramatic, Mirror, Mirror is light and frothy almost to the point of camp. Julia Roberts is clearly having a blast as the Evil Queen. Whether or not it works within the context of the entire film remains to be seen. This is either going to be a hot mess or a laugh riot.

Did that dwarf just say what I think he said? Yes. Yes he did. He went there. I don’t know about this. The script is by Jason Keller, whose only other credit is Machine Gun Preacher. Opinions differ wildly on that film as a whole but if you wanted to parse it out, in my opinion the script was the weakest aspect of it. I don’t know what that says about Mirror, Mirror. I can’t judge the entirety by the trailer, but it doesn’t make me hopeful. Mirror, Mirror still has the advantage of opening first, on March 16..
