To start his career director Tarsem Singh made two feature films in 10 years, but as of late has found himself producing at a much faster clip. Immortals and Mirror Mirror came out in back to back years and now it appears as though he has already found not only his next project, but also possibly his next leading man.

Deadline reports that the filmmaker and the actor are now both in talks to make Selfless, a new thriller that's being co-produced by Endgame Entertainment and FilmDistrict. Based on an original script by Alex and David Pastor, who both wrote and directed the 2009 horror film Carriers with Chris Pine, the new movie centers on a wealthy old man who pays to have his mind transplanted into a younger body after discovering that he is dying. What he finds out too late, however, is that the body he takes over is that of a man who was murdered, and the body's killers are none too happy to see him walking around again. The protagonist is forced to go on the run and must work out who it is that's trying to kill him before it's too late.

Reynolds has been keeping busy of late, most recently lending his voice to one of the cavemen characters in DreamWorks Animation's The Croods. This summer he will be seen fighting alongside Jeff Bridges in the action comedy R.I.P.D., and lending his voice to a speed-obsessed snail in the animated Turbo. He most recently completed work on the Atom Egoyan-directed thriller Queen of the Night, which isn't expected in theaters until 2014.

Mirror Mirror the latest feature from visionary filmmaker Tarsem Singh has had a number of obstacles in its marketing campaign thus far. When the first trailer for Relativity Media's Snow White re-imagining hit last fall, commenters web-wide were quick to criticize its kid-friendly sensibilities, favoring instead the film's unavoidable rival, Snow White and Huntsman. While the former boasts bright colors and broad humor, the latter relished in brooding dark hues and decked out its pale princess in full-body armor. Then rumors emerged that many of the positive comments that peppered blog post's for Mirror Mirror's underwhelming trailer were the work of a troll hired by the film's studio.

Relativity was losing more and more ground, when they shifted the film's release to two weeks later, allowing for more time to re-tune their marketing. First the film's producers promoted the family-friendly appeal to parents with an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at Mirror Mirror. Now making its web debut is the new international trailer which proudly revels in Mirror Mirror's glorious—and sometimes girlish--delights. There's plenty here for kids to gawk at, but the latest trailer for this female-fronted adventure also offers seven elements that might enchant more mature movie-goers.

1. Lily Collins is thoroughly lovely as Snow White, displaying poise and charm along with some to-die-for eyebrows.

2. Armie Hammer is wonderfully dreamy as Snow White's adoring prince, from his sparkling white smile to his dorky rabbit-ears top hat.

3. Julia Roberts, who has long been rumored to be cantankerous, finally gets to embrace her inner bitch as the Evil Queen!

4. Awe-inspiring and totally enviably fashion!

5. Sexy swordplay!

6. Jagged, retractable dwarf stilts, sweeping cinematography and impeccable set design hint to what Tarsem, who crafted the stunning fantasy tale The Fall, has in store for Mirror Mirror audiences.

7. The prince as a puppy is wonderfully reminiscent of the seminal fairy-tale mini-series The 10th Kingdom. Remember how awesome that was?

Mirror Mirror opens March 30th.

The comments section of many a movie blog can be a sordid place, where hateful readers linger with nary a positive thing to say. Writers do what they can to avoid the comments, for to peer into that section beneath a post is to stare into the mouth of madness, and to wade into the conversation and attempt discourse with a commenter can be an exercise in insanity.

Oh, and as it turns out, studios may be hiring trolls to post bogus positive comments beneath stories pertaining to their upcoming movies.

MovieMavericks.com recently figured out that the strangely positive posts beneath their story on the Mirror Mirror trailer came from the same IP address. In addition, the same comments (from the same four users) could be found beneath Mirror Mirror posts on HitFix, ScreenRant, The Playlist, and more. Notice how “Charlie” misspells director Tarsem Singh’s name (“Tareem”) in all of the posts underneath all of the stories on which he comments … or, better yet, cuts and pastes.

So the questions, as mentioned by MovieMavericks, circle around who’s responsible. Is it Relativity Media trying to drum up support for their own film on movie message boards? Are the personal assistants of actors Julia Roberts, Armie Hammer or Lily Collins tasked with hitting movie sites to post positive comments about the trailer, whether they believe in them or not? And here’s a better question: does it matter? Comments sections are open to anybody, and if a studio wants to go through the effort of creating a fake name to post a positive comment that they hope influences a reader, is it any worse that “blurbing” favorable critics on movie posters, newspaper advertisements, or TV commercials? Are you guys more willing to see something like Mirror Mirror because a comment under a story said it’s going to be the best movie ever?

Though he is known for working fast while a movie is in production, Tarsem Singh doesn't have a Steven Soderbergh-level reputation when it comes to developing projects. After the release of his first film, The Cell, in 2000, there was a six year wait for his sophomore effort, The Fall. It then took another five years for Singh to direct his third feature, Immortals, which came out last weekend. That pattern hasn't continued since, though. The director has already completed production on his take on the Snow White fairy tale, Mirror Mirror, which is due out in March, and now he's already setting up his fifth movie.

According to Deadline, Tarsem Singh is now attached to direct the film Killing On Carnival Row. The script was written by Travis Beacham, who also wrote Clash of the Titans as well as the upcoming Guillermo del Toro project Pacific Rim (which began production this week). The screenplay was actually the first one that Beacham sold, and the project has been in development for six years. Funny enough, there was a time that del Toro was actually attached to helm the project, as was Neil Jordan, but the site says that producers Arnold and Anne Kopelson think that Singh "will put them over the top." The film is a futuristic thriller set in a fictional city called Burgue that looks like 18th century London and is populated by both humans and "creatures." The drama begins when it's discovered that there's a serial killer on the loose.

This project sounds like it will be a great fit for Tarsem Singh. He has obviously established himself as a visual director, so anything that allows him to get creative in that respect should be a slam dunk and set in the future with "creatures" definitely fits that bill.

If 2011 was the year of sex buddies, with both No Strings Attached and Friends With Benefits coming out in the calendar year, then 2012 is set to be the year of Snow White. As we’ve noted over the past few months, both Relativity Media and Universal Pictures have versions of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale coming out next year, but if the past week has taught us anything, as trailers for both films have been released, it’s that the two movies couldn’t be any more different.

First, let’s take a gander at the preview for the Rupert Sanders-directed Snow White and the Huntsman, courtesy of Apple:

As you can see, the tone in this film is incredibly dark (as are the visuals). The movie doesn’t so much look like a fairy tale as it does a Lord of the Rings-style action/adventure movie. There’s some black magic at play, some killer special effects and Charlize Theron looks terrifying.

Now here’s the trailer for Tarsem Singh’s Mirror, Mirror, which comes to us thanks to Yahoo!

Whether it succeeds or not is up to the viewer’s opinion, but Singh’s version seems to be more of a comedy and is much brighter and cheerful. Julia Roberts’ Evil Queen seems to have malicious agenda, but comes across as more silly than “evil.” Unlike Kristen Stewart, who is warrior mode in the first trailer, Lily Collins looks more like a Disney princess come to life.

But here’s the question: which Snow White movie will end up taking the box office?

One of the most important factors to take into account is the release date. Mirror Mirror is set to drop on March 16th of next year which, coincidentally (not really), is quite close to the weekend when Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland was released (and that movie ended up making over a billion dollars at the global box office. As for competition, the film is going up against the R-rated action film 21 Jump Street, which probably won’t steal a big chunk of the key audience, but the next week is a killer: Gary Ross’ The Hunger Games.

Scheduled for the first week of June, Snow White and the Huntsman faces similar challenges. The movie is sandwiched between Men in Black III and Prometheus and shares a weekend with Rock of Ages. As it’s going to be with all blockbusters released next summer, Sanders’ movie is going to have to open huge in its opening weekend and then just hope to stick around in the #2 and #3 spots in the following weeks.

Next let’s take a peek at demographics and star appeal. Judging by the trailer, Mirror will be skewing much younger than Huntsman, which could mean padded ticket sales from parents having to accompany their kids into the theater, a benefit the latter film won’t have. In terms of the big names, however, it’s really up in the air. While Julia Roberts use to be one of the biggest box office draws in the universe, her name doesn’t hold the same weight that it used to (case in point: Larry Crowne opened at #4). In that same respect, Huntsman is also a question mark. While the studio hopes that Stewart will be able to bring over some of the Twilight brood, her co-stars in those films, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, haven’t exactly had success in that area, so it’s hard to say if she will.

Lastly, we have fan reaction and actual interest. When the trailer for Snow White and the Huntsman debuted it was met with some enthusiasm and surprise, as few really knew what to expect from the movie. Conversely, since the trailer dropped online Mirror, Mirror has been the butt of jokes all around the internet. Seriously, do a search for “Mirror, Mirror” on Twitter and you’ll understand what I mean.

But enough with the analysis, I want to know what you think. Which Snow White movie do you think will be best? Which one do you think will perform better at the box office? Which one do you plan on going to see? Take our poll below and leave your thoughts about the two films in the comments section below.

Last week we got our first look at one of two Snow White movies set to debut in 2012. Starring Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth, Rupert Sanders' Snow White and the Huntsman looks to be a dark, fantastical take on the legendary Brothers Grimm story that operates on a huge scale. Now the trailer for the competing film, Tarsem Singh's Mirror, Mirror has popped online and let's just say it takes a much different tact tonally.

Check out the preview below, courtesy of Yahoo!

While the trailers really couldn't be more different - Huntsman is an epic action/adventure while this one looks to be more of a comedy - what I do find interesting about both trailers is that there's a much larger focus on the Evil Queen than on Snow White herself. Albeit Mirror, Mirror shows off more of the young beauty than last week's trailer did, Julia Roberts is the real star of the show here. As though there weren't enough parallels that can be made between these two films, the first trailers provided yet another.

Mirror, Mirror stars Lily Collins, Julia Roberts, Armie Hammer, Nathan Lane and Sean Bean and is based on a screenplay by Melissa Wallack and Jason Keller. Beating Snow White And The Huntsman to theaters, the movie is set to be released by Relativity Media on March 16, 2012.

Tarsem Singh has only made three movies in his career, debuting his first, The Cell, in 2000, but watching his films you begin to notice a pattern: horses don’t have the greatest amount of luck. From the dissection scene in the Jennifer Lopez thriller, to the titular accident in The Fall, species of the Equus genus aren’t treated like pretty ponies in Singh’s world. So when a pair of horses in Immortals once again experience tragedy, I felt inclined to ask the director about it.

Sitting down with Tarsem Singh one-on-one, I not only asked about what I am dubbing his “horse thing,” but also his approach to each day of filming, the concept of faith, and the use of 3D. Check it out!

So, just to jump in kind of two feet first; one thing that really struck me during the movie- there's two moments, one with Stavros and one with Hyperion, where the characters talk about the gods not answering their prayers and essentially losing faith. And I'm curious-

It's the reason I made the movie.

Yes, well basically I'm wondering is that a character thing or is it a comment about faith?

For me it was actually the reason I started the movie was because of that whole thing. I had no interest in a Greek film or anything. Just super-beings- they could be Batman and Superman interfering with us or if there was gods. And the idea was just, well everybody's old question is just why don't they show up at the White House lawn and say, “Hey! Here we are!” Like “I'm Moses, this is so and so, and be good to each other.” And you just stop at the idea of why does faith have to work on non-definite proof?

And it all started because I was just at dinner with my mom. She says that I've always been blasphemous, since I was a child, since I was nine. [Laughs] But she turned around about three years ago and said this statement to me that I just thought, “That's a movie”. And she said, “How do you think you are as successful as you are?” I said, “It wasn't for my praying.” And I thought, now that's the movie. A real atheist dies and goes up there and the bearded guy goes, “You bastard. I wanted to give you nothing, you deserve nothing, but because of this woman, I made you successful.” So I thought that's the movie, you take a non-believer who becomes the most ardent believer there is later, which tends to happen from born-agains or alcoholics, the recovering ones, always the hardcore ones. So I said, “How do you make a movie about that?” Then I just said, “But why don't they interfere?” That was the reasoning that I took up with. And the reason was that faith, to keep the nature of things, can only work on faith. If you go into direct interference, you influence that particular problem, from right, from Heisenberg's principle, to the ending scene of 2001.

You know, if you have a zoo you don't want the other creatures to see you. You want them to hang out and act properly and, you know, when the monkeys will come and ask for the bananas, they won't act like monkeys. If you want them to act on what their true nature is, you've got to leave them alone. So the gods thing is, it doesn't matter if they wipe each other out. Their true nature needs to stay on their own. We can guide them acting like them, so they don't recognize us as gods. If they do recognize us as definite proof, y'know you won't be able to do the nasty things you do in the toilet. [Laughs] So that's how I thought through the reasoning. So that movie came from that.

Do you kind of see yourself as Theseus in that sense?

No, not at all! Because he ends up actually believing in the end [laughs].My thing in the end- he actually becomes... unfortunately, he doesn't have any faith at all. Faith is just by definition belief without proof.

Once he gets proofs, it tips, the balance is turned. He doesn't have any faith. He's just got definite proof. Now he knows what it's like- you know the guys who really have that strong a faith and think they can just blow themselves up while walking into some place- if you actually believe that when you do that, a gate is going to open and you're going to go up there and have however many virgins you want, basically it's a different thing all together. But if you're kind of unsure, that's dangerous. Better know! [laughs].So Theseus actually sees the gods. So when he sees the gods, he's just got definite proof. So he's not, like, a character of faith at all. He is the way I think everybody should be, a non-believer.

Sure. And you mention that that was your vision for the film. Was that the idea when you first got the script?

That was the only idea I told him I want to put in. And I said, put it in, and if that works then let's just do it. Because I was thinking, “Do we need gods?” The Theseus story does not involve any gods. And I said, “No, you need gods because I want to make a statement about the gods and I want to do an action sequence with gods fighting that I think will tip the balance in a different way.” So we started to put those in, and I started thinking, does it have to be Greek? I was going to make it all post-apocalyptic, kind of like a Renaissance time but with electricity, I wanted to go to Mexico, things like that. And they said, “No, no, no, the appetite is for Greek movies, they're really big.” And I said, “Well it's not really a Greek movie.” I'm like, “Theseus with gods is like caveman with dinosaurs, the difference is like, a hundred million years.” And they just said, “No, no, it'll come out fine. Just leave it.” So we went close to Greek, but no period stuff is true of anything.

One thing that kind of struck me about your career- I notice a pattern with horses.

Everyone blames me for that! [Laughs] Ok.

Well what's the story there?

I'll tell you what, I remember when I used to do music videos, Tarkvosky used to use milk and I used to use milk only because milk falling on dark grounds looks pretty fantastic. And everybody was saying, “So what's it with this milk?” And I just said, you know what, imagine a liquid falling on dark ground that looks really good and big. And everybody would come up with all these answers of blood if it's white and blah blah blah, and I said, “No. Unless you're talking about a bowl of sperm, it's got to be milk.” [Laughs] So I just turn and take it because it's beautiful. So even our videos started like that. Horses happen to be a really big physical body, that, when if falls or if it moves, people are used to its size and they feel a certain weight for it. It's sort of like a thing where you say, “I want a really, really big creature that doesn't exist,” and then you fight it and you don't feel its weight. But a horse- everybody that you know knows its size, knows its weight, knows it’s all muscle, and when you do something to it you feel physical with it. You ride on it, everything else is physical. So when it falls down or is hurt or something happens to it, it's a very physical reaction.

So in the first one, I didn't even think about that. The first one, all I was thinking of was I wanted to do something shocking, like dissecting something that would freak out writer, who happened to be a horse-lover. [Laughs] And he said, “Anything is ok to not do the horse cutting scene.” And of course, I put it in.

Of course.

So that was there. Then The Fall, that was like, thirty years before that I'd come up with that idea. Like some big accident has happened, and all you see is a suspended horseman. That's all you see in it, and no other thing happens in it. And in this particular one I wanted no horses throughout the movie, because it's kind of when your all on set, horses are like cars. Every time you put one in a movie, your set, like, is five times the size you've got to make it.

So there's only one scene where there's horses. So they arrive in the other place, and I was just like, “We've got to get rid of horses.” Because if these people are to ride from one place to another, it's a different kind of CGI film. And we didn't have the budget for it. So I said, “The goal is going to be to give them horses at one time.” And someone said, “What happens to the horses?” So I said, “Oh, let's kill 'em.” [Laughs] And they just die because they're out of breath, and Athena said they'll run until they're hearts give out. The moment I was putting it in, somebody said, “You know they're gonna blame you for thing again”. [Laughs] I said, “Ok, think of another creature next time.” I don't know.

Ok. Do you have horses in Snow White?

They have horses in Snow White? [Laughs] I am lucky nothing nasty happens to horses in Snow White.

Ok, well there you go. And also, just to talk about your visual style a bit- it really is- well with your career so far you've definitely left your mark. And I'm curious what your preparation process is, both pre-production and during production.

It has tended to be much more visual because I wanted to kind of put my DNA out there in the world when I started. So for me it was very much oriented into having kind of unfinished short films, unfinished clips that I could force the visuals into. So of course it was the curse of what everybody says script writing should be, which is like, “Don't put the visuals in front of it.” And I was like, “Aw, lose that story, just put the visual in there.” [Laughs] So I would just do it like that, but not something that I tend to continue on… Because usually I like reading that in literature or reading. I don't particularly like to make a film of it, but now when I'll stop making non-visual films that are all fantastical, I'd like it to be script-oriented. Then I'll push for these scripts that reflect what I want to do.

Absolutely. Do you plan out every single day? Do you bring to set exactly what you want to have?

Um, close to it. Location wise, it's completely different when I do locations for The Fall- I don't know if you've seen it…

Yes, I have.

That's all location. And there I just have to go to the location, find 'em and then figure out what I need to do. This particular one- something that comes naturally to me is how things need to be lit. Usually I design the lighting and when I have the physical set there, I'm not good at going out loosely and saying, “Do you what you want, give it to the editor, and he'll figure it out.” I physically then walk on with the actors and I say, “Let's walk until you guys feel the space works for you, and tell me when all that happens.” And once you figure that out, it's just now, “Shoot wide shot with that, it’s a rehearsal. We can do 50 of these takes if you want, until you see the scene starts to work, then I'll come in and tell you what you're filming.

Just let them play on, literally like a play. Unless it's action. Then I usually say, “Ok, what kind of action is it?” Is it the fantastical, is it bite the ear, rip off the tongue kind of stuff? Or is it more visceral? Or is it psychological? Then I just plant those ones in different places, and then I just say something really nasty has to happen here, this guy is a bad guy, what'd he do? “Well, he sold out the last teeth of the guy who will cut out his own tongue.” I throw that in, and that kind of stuff I just play around.

Sure. And when did 3D enter the conversation?

Oh no, no, no, long before I started I said, “There is no way they can turn this into 3D later.” I just said it has to be when I plan it, because it will slow me down immensely. I will take calculations for everything and I will shoot with that in mind. They asked me to hurry up, and I said there's no way I will do it in 3D if you need to finish it. Because it's ready, I will beat them in no time. But for 3D I need a complete year. You saw it in 3D I take it?

Yes.

Well, I think in 3D most people are interested in pulling things out of the screen. And I was just saying, I would like it to have a depth back into the screen. Just give it that dimension. And that's enough. It's not like a drop-your-popcorn kind of movie.

Is Snow White going to be post-converted? Or no?

No, no, no, because when they told me I said unless you have a year there’s no way. You just have the bar set so incredibly low by Clash [of The Titans] that everybody saw the numbers that those cursed, so you just got to walk away from it.

For quite a while now, we’ve been talking about the two different Snow White movies set to hit theaters in 2012. There’s Snow White and the Huntsman, which stars Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron, and Chris Hemsworth. And then there’s the other Snow White movie, which is directed by Tarsem Singh, and stars Lily Collins, Julia Roberts and Armie Hammer. Until today, the latter project was without a title.

Relativity Media has announced that the film will be called Mirror Mirror.

The decision to go without “Snow White” in the title is probably a wise one. Despite the fact that Mirror Mirror will hit theaters months before Snow White and the Huntsman, it’s not a bad idea to distinguish this one a bit more by its title, and “Mirror, mirror...” is certainly a recognizable phrase for anyone familiar with Snow White’s story. This is how the Queen addresses her magic mirror. Will these words be spoken by Julia Roberts at some point during the film?

Mirror Mirror follows Snow White as she teams up with “seven resourceful rebels to win back her birthright.” Based on the photos we’ve seen from the film, this movie seems to be aiming toward a more colorful, storybook look than what we should probably expect from Snow White and the Huntsman, which hits theaters three months after Mirror Mirror.

Mirror, Mirror releases in theaters on March 16, 2012. What do you think of the title? Love it or hate it?

One of the biggest battles of 2012 will be between Universal Studios and Relativity Media. As we’ve been reporting all year, both film companies have their own takes on the Snow White fairy tale coming out during the 12 month stretch. We’ve already seen the studios butt heads over release dates – Relativity pushing Tarsem Singh’s Untitled Snow White project up to March 16th while Universal has Rupert Sanders’Snow White and the Huntsman dated for June 1st – but what if the characters themselves went head to head?

Early this morning the first images from Singh’s version of the Grimm fairy tale came online and when looking at the Snow White and the Huntsman images from Comic Con, I got to thinking: how would Kristen Stewart’s princess do against Lily Collins’? Could Armie Hammer kick Chris Hemsworth’s ass? What would be the result of a battle between Charlize Theron and Julia Roberts? Below you will find my complete breakdown.

Battle of the Snow Whites: Kristen Stewart vs. Lily Collins

Looking at these two images, I know exactly what you’re thinking: “Eric, one of these young ladies is wielding a sword and shield while the other is sitting pretty in a fluffy blue dress. This is a no brainer.” To that I say not so fast. Stewart may have the equipment (the sword is actually below the picture), but Collins has the numbers. Stewart looks all sad and alone in that photo because she has no friends, meanwhile the bright and shiny, happy-looking princess is surrounded by seven dwarfs that are clearly a little off kilter. Hell, Mickey from Seinfeld has a battle helmet on and one of the dudes in the back clearly murdered and decided to wear a ferocious beast. Plus, that big fluffy dress would be pretty damn hard to stab.

Battle of the Dashing Hero: Chris Hemsworth vs. Armie Hammer

Now things are getting a little interesting. These are both strapping young men wielding hardcore weapons that could easily kill a man. But let’s do a little bit of body language analysis, shall we? First let’s take a gander at Hemsworth. His hair is straggly and looks like it hasn’t been washed in weeks, he has a beard (which is a +1 in any fight), his eyes suggest that he’s not too happy with the way you’re looking at him, and the axe is slung over his shoulder like it’s no big deal. Now let’s move over to Hammer. Yes, his sword is thrust forward, but he seems to be leaning back a bit taking a defensive stance. His coat is nice and shiny and I polar bears would be envious of how white that shirt is. If these characters were to actually fight, Hemsworth would probably be okay with getting stabbed a few times provided it got him close enough to chop off Hammer’s head. But let’s be real, this was over the second I noticed the beard.

Battle of the Evil Queen: Charlize Theron vs. Julia Roberts

This is a much different kind of battle than the last two. Neither of these characters are inclined to do any physical labor themselves, so they definitely aren’t going to be picking up arms against each other. No, this is a battle of malevolence; a war that is won by the queen that simply wants it more. Ignoring the dagger in Theron’s hands (that’s clearly for show, come on), the high-collar and black dress looks so damn evil that Osama bin Laden would have thought it was a bit too much. Then there’s Roberts relaxing deep in her chair and wearing a dress so big that even if she were to try and stand she probably wouldn’t be able to find the floor. She looks so damn relaxed that you could Photoshop a remote control into her right hand and nobody would blink an eye. The choice is simple: one of these ladies simply wanted it more.

BONUS ROUND - Battle of the Other Guys: Sam Claflin vs. Nathan Lane

Seriously? Come on. It’s in the eyes.

FINAL ANALYSIS: By a final score of 3-1, the winner of this contest is Snow White and the Huntsman, but the war is from over. To learn more about both films be sure to check out each one’s individual pages in our Blend Film Database HERE and HERE. With that I’ll throw it to you:

This poll is no longer available.

UPDATE: Yahoo! has now released six more of their own images; you can check out three of them at the bottom of this post.

There still a little bit of time before the two competing Snow White movies come out next year, but it's probably wise to start picking sides now, because what are movies for if not meaningless contests? In one corner you've got Kristen Stewart, a suit of armor, Charlize Theron and Thor himself Chris Hemsworth swinging an axe instead of a mighty hammer. In the other corner you've got visionary director Tarsem Singh, an ethereal Lily Collins in an iridescent dress, and now, some new images from the film to help clearly draw the battle lines.

Tarsem's Snow White movie is still untitled-- the Kristen Stewart one is called Snow White and the Huntsman, if you're keeping track-- but that hasn't stopped Entertainment Weekly from revealing six new images from the film, including several shots of Julia Roberts in grand form and even grander dress as the Wicked Queen. We also get the first looks at Armie Hammer as the Prince, Collins in swordfighting mode (see, Kristen Stewart's Snow White isn't the only one who gets to do battle!), and the seven dwarves in a pretty jovial moment with Collins. Check out three of the images below, and click over to EW for the full collection.

As if it weren't already obvious, Tarsem's take on the material seems to be far more traditional and fairy-tale feeling, whereas the Kristen Stewart-starring one directed by Rupert Sanders, with its battle armor and dark look, seems to be headed somewhere entirely different. I never thought I would say this, but it really looks like there might be room for both of them, even if I do spend the next 6 months getting them mixed up. The untitled Lily Collins-starring Snow White hits theaters first, on March 16, while Snow White and the Huntsman comes a few months later on June 1. Choose your dwarf alliances wisely.

UPDATE: Here are three of the six new images that debuted at Yahoo!. You can click over to see the full collection, but below here's your first look at Nathan Lane, who plays the Queen's harried assistant, and the full court gathered with Roberts's Queen holding court up front in the enormous red dress.

Coming to theaters on the auspicious date of 11-11-11, Immortals is a combination of a lot of things we generally like: actors like Mickey Rourke, John Hurt and future Superman Henry Cavill, a very visual story about men with swords beating the shit out of each other, and most of all director Tarsem Singh, he of The Cell and The Fall and the kind of visuals that make you wonder if you'll ever be able to look at movies the same way again.

But for some reason, none of that seems to be clicking together yet for Immortals, which is such a blatant attempt to cash in on 300's success that every single trailer crows "from the producers of 300." They've got all the elements they need-- a dark-haired, muscular hero holding a sword, teeming armies running after each other, sepia-toned photography and some badass special effects. But even after two trailer and a Comic Con panel< it's still unclear to me what the movie is about, beyond the fact that Henry Cavill has been sent by the gods to save us all, and he has the abs and flowing brown hair to get the job done.

Now there's a new trailer that explains a little bit more by way of copious voiceover, but it all still seems a bit muddled to me. There are enough striking visuals thrown in there, though, to make it seem like it might be worthwhile anyway-- after all, did any of us really follow the plot of The Fall all the way through? Unfortunately the video isn't embeddable at all, but click the image below to play it at MSN.

As Universal's Snow White and the Huntsman and Relativity Media's currently untitled Snow White project get into gear and prepare to do battle next year (more on that HERE), a key element has been overlooked. Both projects have their female leads (Kristen Stewart and Lily Collins), male leads (Chris Hemsworth and Armie Hammer) and Evil Queens (Charlize Theron and Julia Roberts), but neither project has announced that they have found actors to play the seven dwarfs...until today.

Relativity has sent out a press release announcing that they have found actors to play the coleminers known as Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy, Dopey and Doc. While the official statement didn't say which actor will be playing which character, the cast includes Mark Povinelli (Water for Elephants), Jordan Prentice (In Bruges), Danny Woodburn (Watchmen), Sebastian Saraceno (Bedtime Stories), Ronald Lee Clark (Epic Movie), Martin Klebba (Pirates of the Caribbean films) and Joey Gnoffo (The Benchwarmers). The release also says that Mare Winningham (Brothers) and Michael Lerner have been cast as Baker Margaret and Baron, respectively.

For a while there I was actually wondering if the studio was going to cut the seven dwarfs out the story entirely, which is likely what's happening with Snow White and the Huntsman (when you look at the plot description it doesn't really lend itself to that part of the story). Production on the untitled Snow White project is scheduled to begin next month and the film will be released on March 16, 2012.
