Mirror, Mirror – Another Look at Snow White

The newest trailer for this summer’s OTHER Snow White movie has just come out, and I must say that it looks so much better than the original glimpse we got of Mirror, Mirror. While at first it promised to be almost a parody of the classic tale, the version below seems to show Snow White as a stronger female, kicking butt with a band of misfits as companions.

As always, Julia Roberts makes for a wonderful leading lady, offering a bit of comedic relief to the title of Evil Queen. This, of course, is in stark contrast to the tone Charlize Theron has set for the Snow White antagonist.

Lilly Collins is going to shine in the lead role of Mirror, Mirror. Not only does she physically fit the part of Snow White down to the smallest detail, but judging from the trailer, her acting skills are already far beyond that of Kristin Stewart. That said, the role of Snow White in Snow White and the Huntsman is pretty intriguing. I love the warrior theme, depicting her clad with shield and sword. We’ll see if she can live up to the armor.

I look forward to seeing them both. With Snow White and the Huntsman releasing June 1, and Mirror, Mirror coming out March 30th, it will be interesting to see which one truly is the fairest in the land (sorry, I just had too!).
