The film hasn’t even begun production yet, but Universal thought it’d be wise to showcase the stars and characters from the upcoming film Snow White and the Huntsman at SDCC 2011. The four main stars – Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron, and Sam Claflin – had director Rupert Sanders shoot a concept reel so that convention attendees could get an idea about what the film has to offer. The actors also posed for press shots.

Interestingly, in the promo photo of the dwarves, we see 8 – not the typical 7. What’s the deal with that?

Producer Joe Roth said that the goal with the movie was to make a definitive version of the story – something that the Brothers Grimm would be proud of. He said that the film would be the same “size, scope, and appetite” of Lord of the Rings – which comes out ten weeks before Snow White. Sanders, on the other hand, said he wanted to make a “war movie” – something on a massive scale.

Snow White and the Huntsman is slated for a June 2012 release, but so far much of the commentary is rife with skepticism. It is, after all, a fairy tale at its heart – can Hollywood pull off making a potentially/probably darker version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves? What do you guys think?
