About Snow White and the Huntsman

In the epic action-adventure Snow White and the Huntsman, Kristen Stewart (the Twilight saga, On the Road) plays the only person in the land fairer than the evil queen (Oscar® winner Charlize Theron of Prometheus, Hancock) out to destroy her. But what the wicked ruler never imagined is that the young woman now threatening her reign has been training in the art of war with a huntsman (Chris Hemsworth of Thor, The Avengers) dispatched to capture her. Sam Claflin (Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides) joins the cast as the prince long enchanted by Snow White's defiance and purity.

The breathtaking new vision of the legendary tale is from Joe Roth, the producer of Alice in Wonderland, producer Sam Mercer (The Sixth Sense) and acclaimed commercial director and state-of-the-art visualist Rupert Sanders. www.snowwhiteandthehuntsman.com
