New Images from SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN Featuring Chris Hemsworth and 8 Dwarves

As their respective release dates loom closer, the battle between the two Snow White films is heating up. A new international trailer for Tarsem Singh’s Mirror Mirror was recently released, and today Universal has released two new images from Rupert Sanders’ Snow White and the Huntsman. One of them gives us a peek at a burly Chris Hemsworth flanked by the eight dwarves. Yes, in Snow White and the Huntsman there are eight dwarves (something to do with a rights issue), but they look like a pretty formidable band of warriors here. Sanders assembled a pretty damn impressive roster of actors to play the dwarves, including Nick Frost, Bob Hoskins, Ray Winstone, Toby Jones, Eddie Marsan, and Ian McShane.

Hit the jump to check out the images, which also include a new look at Charlize Theron as the evil Queen. I continue to be impressed by what I see from Huntsman, and I’m sincerely hoping that the full film delivers a grand, epic adventure. Snow White and the Huntsman opens June 1st.

Earlier this week we brought you images from Empire Magazine’s special preview on Marvel’s The Avengers.

THE AVENGERS Cover Latest Issue of Empire Magazine; New Images and Info Unveiled

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: January 23rd, 2012 at 7:41 am

This month’s issue of Empire Magazine features a healthy dose of The Avengers to whet fans’ appetite, as characters from the film grace four separate covers. We’re a little over three months away from the film’s release, and Marvel seems to be ramping up the final stages of their marketing campaign. The covers give us new looks at Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, and a gun-wielding Scarlett Johansson. The Empire issue contains a set visit report for the superhero pic, and Tom Hiddleston teased a bit of what to expect from the villain Loki:

“He knows who he is now, and what his powers are. In order for The Avengers to come together, Loki has to be more menacing, and all of his malevolence is founded in a completely delusional dream.”

Plot details are still scarce for the film, but we know that Loki isn’t the sole source of villainy in the pic. President of Marvel Studios production Kevin Feige set the record straight with Empire regarding what villains we will and won’t see in The Avengers. Hit the jump to see what he had to say, and to check out the covers and images. The Avengers opens in 3D on May 4th.

THOR 2 Rewrite Handled by Robert Rodat

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: January 10th, 2012 at 6:55 pm

Lately, Thor 2’s production has been in flux due to the original director Patty Jenkins leaving citing “creative differences” and new director Alan Taylor having to wait for a new writer to rework Don Payne’s original script. It looks as if Marvel Studios has settled on a new screenwriter so now everyone can just settle down and get back to work on making the sequel to one of 2011’s most successful films. Originally considered a contender for the rewriting job, Robert Rodat has bested competitors John Collee and Roger Avary for the position. The Oscar-nominated scribe behind Saving Private Ryan and the creator of TNT’s Falling Skies will have the task of scripting where the Asgardian’s story will head after he wraps things up with the The Avengers this May. Hit the jump for more on Thor 2.

New Images from THE AVENGERS Feature Iron Man in Flight

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: January 10th, 2012 at 3:41 pm

A few new images from The Avengers have popped up online. As we’ve crossed the threshold into the New Year, the release date for the star-studded superhero movie is looming. These new images give us a look at Iron Man in flight, as well as some familiar peeks at a fight involving Chris Hemsworth’s Thor and Chris Evans’ Captain America. Hopefully a new trailer will drop sometime soon so we can take another gander at what director Joss Whedon has in store.

Hit the jump to check out the images. The film also stars Robert Downey Jr., Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Samuel L. Jackson, Tom Hiddleston, and Stellan Skarsgard. The Avengers opens in 3D on May 4th.

Russian Trailer for THE AVENGERS

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: December 29th, 2011 at 6:54 am

I couldn’t spot any new footage in the German trailer for The Avengers, but there’s definitely some new stuff in a Russian trailer that just went online.  For example, there’s a brief dialogue exchange between Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and Loki (Tom Hiddleston), but it’s dubbed in Russian.  However, I believe it’s the exchange Tommy saw in English at D23 earlier this year.  According to Tommy, Loki says, “He has an army,” and Stark replies, “We have a Hulk.”  There’s also some brief shots of Captain America (Chris Evans) jumping out of a plane and Loki dealing some damage to our fine planet and its citizens.

Hit the jump to check out the Russian trailer.  The film also stars Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, and Samuel L. Jackson.  The Avengers opens in 3D on May 4, 2012.

New Posters for THE AVENGERS and HAYWIRE

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: December 20th, 2011 at 9:54 am

New posters have gone online for The Avengers and Haywire.  Marvel seems to be taking a page from Warner Bros’ Harry Potter playbook by churning out as many character posters as possible between now and the arrival of the movie.  We’ve already seen the character banners, but now Marvel is disassembling these banners into individual posters.

There’s also a new poster for Haywire and it shares the same eye-catching design as the previous one-sheets.  It even makes the actors’ face-boxes look cool.  Hit the jump to check out the new posters.  Haywire opens January 20, 2012.  The Avengers opens in 3D on May 4, 2012.

German Trailer for THE AVENGERS Supposedly Shows New Footage

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: December 19th, 2011 at 9:26 am

A German trailer for The Avengers has gone online.  Other sites are saying it has new footage, but I’m not seeing anything I didn’t see in either the U.S. trailer or the Captain America post-credits teaser.  If it’s there, I leave it to eagle-eyed readers to point it out.  There may also be some new voiceover dialogue, but I’m not sure since my German is a little non-existent.

Hit the jump to watch the German trailer.  The film stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Tom Hiddleston, and Mark Ruffalo.  The Avengers opens in 3D on May 4, 2012.

New Banners for THE AVENGERS

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: December 15th, 2011 at 6:04 am

Marvel has released two new banners for The Avengers.  They’re almost identical to the previous banners except a couple of the poses are different and there isn’t a giant “A” covering the superheroes and Loki (still no love for S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders)).  But the kids love The Avengers so I’ve put the new banners after the jump.  The film opens in 3D on May 4, 2012 and stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Tom Hiddleston, and Mark Ruffalo.

First Trailer for Joss Whedon’s THE CABIN IN THE WOODS (Now with Forcefields)

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: December 5th, 2011 at 11:11 am

Producer Joss Whedon and director/co-writer Drew Goddard have been coy about how The Cabin in the Woods turns the eponymous horror sub-genre on its head.  The first trailer for the movie has gone online and now we can see what they meant.  The Cabin in the Woods genre usually revolves around something supernatural with only a mystical explanation as a vague guide.  Judging by the trailer, it looks like Whedon and Goddard have thrown together the scientific in the supernatural.  It was an approach Whedon took in the fourth season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but instead of Frankenstein, Cabin looks something more along the lines of Hostel where hapless tourists are subjected to the sadistic whims of a shadowy organization.  That organization also has forcefields.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer.  The film stars Chris Hemsworth, Kristen Connolly, Anna Hutchinson, Fran Kanz, Jesse Williams, Bradley Whitford, and Richard Jenkins.  The Cabin in the Woods opens April 13, 2012.

Joss Whedon Talks about the Characters of THE AVENGERS

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: November 18th, 2011 at 9:41 am

Joss Whedon‘s The Avengers is in uncharted territory when it comes to superhero movies.  Every superhero or superhero team stand in its own universe and every movie keeps the focus on that superhero or team.  The Avengers is pulling characters we’ve seen in other movies and throwing them all together.  Whedon has had to figure out how to not only keep the established personalities of these characters, but also explore how they’ll change in a group dynamic, while still giving them an arc that will lead to their next solo adventure.

Whedon recently explained what we can expect to see from Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), and Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson).  Hit the jump for more.  The film also stars Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Cobie Smulders, and Tom Hiddleston.  The Avengers opens in 3D on May 4, 2012.

New Banners for THE AVENGERS [Updated]

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: November 17th, 2011 at 8:35 am

Marvel has released a new banner for The Avengers.  The banner is really just a collection of four character posters, so it will probably be split up at some point.  It’s neat to see Mark Ruffalo starting to go a little Hulk, but I’m not sure why Captain America’s new helmet is so shiny.  However, I do like that he can throw his shield and check for B.O. at the same time.  Every superhero needs to be able to multitask.

Hit the jump to check out the larger version of the banner.  The film also stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Tom Hiddleston, and Cobie Smulders.  The Avengers opens in 3D on May 4, 2012. [Update: We've added another banner showcasing Nick Fury (Jackson), Loki (Hiddleston), Hawkeye (Renner), and Black Widow (Johansson)]

First Trailer and 4 New Posters for SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN Starring Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth & Charlize Theron

by Collider Staff    Posted: November 10th, 2011 at 11:17 am

Universal has released the first trailer for Rupert Sanders‘ Snow White and the Huntsman.  Kristen Stewart plays Snow White in the fairy tale adaptation, where she trains in the art of war with a huntsman (Chris Hemsworth) to fight the evil queen (Charlize Theron).  I’m with this trailer until it Theron says…”Mirror, mirror on the wall…,” and then I started to roll my eyes.  But I’m trying to give it a chance because I like the visual style and I want to resist the urge to dismiss it just because it has “Snow White” in the title. Of course, both Snow White and the Huntsman and Tarsem Singh’s Mirror, Mirror have to contend with trying to take on a new version of Snow White when for the past seventy-five years we’ve really only known the one with the singing dwarves. But at least with Sanders’ Snow White, it looks like there’s an intriguing and exciting vision behind this new take.  Your move, Singh.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer.  Snow White and the Huntsman opens June 2, 2012.

First Look at Footage from SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN Starring Kristen Stewart

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: November 9th, 2011 at 5:49 pm

The divide between the two Snow White movies is finally starting to widen: the “light comedic adventure” version of Tarsem Sing’s Mirror, Mirror vs. the directorial debut of Rupert Sanders and his dark, gritty interpretation, Snow White and the Huntsman. Today, we have a look at some footage from the latter version. While there’s not a lot of screen time for Snow White (Kristen Stewart) or the Huntsman (Chris Hemsworth), we do get a glimpse at the dark side of the Evil Queen (Charlize Theron).

Slated to open on June 1, 2012, Snow White and the Huntsman is a twist on the classic fairy tale in which the Huntsman, appointed to kill Snow White, becomes her protector and joins her in the quest to kill the Evil Queen herself. Hit the jump to check out the footage and check back here tomorrow for the first trailer.

New Art from SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN Features Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth, and Charlize Theron

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: November 8th, 2011 at 5:40 pm

Just a few days ago, that other Snow White movie (the one directed by Tarsem Singh described as a light “comedic adventure”) finally got a title: Mirror Mirror. Now some new artwork has been released from the competing project based on the classic fairy tale, Snow White and the Huntsman. This one, directed by Rupert Sanders, is more in the vein of a Lord of the Rings-style epic, and is said to be rather dark and gritty in tone. Based on what I saw at the film’s Comic-Con panel, Sanders isn’t pulling any punches, and we’re in for quite the visual treat if his feature directorial debut will be anything close to the reel he showed us at the panel. This artwork is very much along those lines, and I think people are gonna be surprised when a trailer is eventually released.

Hit the jump to check out the image. The film stars Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron, Sam Claflin, Noah Huntley, Nick Frost, Ray Winstone, Ian McShane, Bob Hoskins, Toby Jones, Eddie Marsan and Steven Graham. Snow White and the Huntsman opens June 1st, 2012.
