New Images from Tarsem Singh’s Snow White Movie MIRROR MIRROR

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: February 22nd, 2012 at 2:52 pm

A few new images from director Tarsem Singh’s take on Snow White Mirror Mirror, have gone online. The film still looks really, really bad and unendingly silly, as we see Nathan Lane wearing some sort of antennae hat in this batch of photos. I’m not exactly sure what Singh was going for, but the movie just looks beyond ridiculous. Those worried about the fact that we have two Snow White movies coming out this year can rest easy; Mirror Mirror and Snow White and the Huntsman couldn’t be more different.

Lily Collins and Armie Hammer Talk about Their Snow White Movie, MIRROR MIRROR

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: February 21st, 2012 at 9:38 am

After last year’s Race of the Snow White Movies, Tarsem Singh‘s Mirror Mirror will be the first to hit theaters with Snow White and the Huntsman opening two months later.  Mirror Mirror doesn’t look any good, but it will be first and that’s what’s important, at least to audiences who will think, “Didn’t we just see a Snow White movie?” when Snow White and the Huntsman rolls around.  In an interview on the set of Mirror Mirror, actor Armie Hammer (who plays Prince Charming) says he’s glad his movie is coming out first, so hooray for release schedules, I guess.  But more than a comparing their movie to Huntsman, Hammer and co-star Lily Collins (Snow White) say how much they enjoyed working together.  I continue to wait for the day when an actor does a promotional interview and says of his or her co-star “I hate that person so much.  Just thinking about him/her makes me vomit in my mouth.”  I’m going to be waiting for a while.

New Posters for LOCKOUT, MIRROR MIRROR, and Kevin Macdonald’s Documentary MARLEY

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: February 17th, 2012 at 1:19 pm

We’ve got a few new posters to share with you today. First up is the debut one-sheet for the sci-fi action pic Lockout. The first couple of international trailers for this film had me surprisingly excited, as they showcased a wise-cracking Guy Pearce and a strangely goofy execution. Then the domestic marketing kicked in. This poster echoes the US trailers that scream “This is a big action movie with explosions that’s like Taken but not!” I’m still hoping that the actual tone skews more on the strange side, and the US marketing materials are simply the studio trying to sell the movie to teenage boys eager for more eye violations courtesy of Michael Bay.

Additionally, we’ve got a new international poster for the very light and fluffy Snow White pic Mirror Mirror, as well as a first poster for Kevin Macdonald’s (The Last King of Scotland) documentary Marley. Mirror Mirror continues to look like a farce, and this poster plays up the cutesy aspect of the pic, but Macdonald’s Marley poster is spot on. Hit the jump to check out the posters. Both Lockout and Marley open April 20th, while Mirror Mirror opens March 16th.

New Posters for JOHN CARTER, 21 JUMP STREET and MIRROR MIRROR

Seeing as it’s already February and that little furry rodent has predicted six more weeks of winter, we thought we’d take a look ahead to some March movie releases. Coincidentally, three big March movies have recently released new posters. First up is Disney’s March 9^th release, John Carter, starring Taylor Kitsch as a Civil War vet transplanted onto Mars, in an Andrew Stanton-directed picture. Next is the Phil Lord and Chris Miller-directed 21 Jump Street, a March 16^th release starring Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum as two screw-up cops who infiltrate a local high school drug ring. Finally, we have a new poster from the Tarsem Singh project, Mirror Mirror, a Snow White adaptation featuring Lily Collins and Julia Roberts which opens March 30^th.

MIRROR MIRROR International Trailer

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: January 26th, 2012 at 8:04 pm

After we reported that Relativity Media was pushing its Snow White project Mirror Mirror back until March 30th, the studio decided to release a new international trailer. While it’s still nowhere near as mature or action-filled as the Universal counterpart Snow White and the Huntsman starring Kristen Stewart and Chris Hemsworth, it’s heads above the horrendous first trailer. This is more along the lines of what I was expecting from director Tarsem Singh as I can at least pick up on his presence here.

Mirror Mirror stars Lily Collins, Armie Hammer, Nathan Lane and Julia Roberts as the Evil Queen. Hit the jump to check out the new trailer.

Relativity Pushes Tarsem Singh’s MIRROR MIRROR Back to March 30

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: January 26th, 2012 at 11:23 am

Relativity Media’s take on the Snow White story, Mirror Mirror, is undergoing a slight schedule change. The studio has pushed the release of the Tarsem Singh-directed film back from March 16th to March 30th. The film will now open the same weekend as Wrath of the Titans and The Pirates! Band of Misfits. More interesting, though, is the fact that this move now positions the film after the release of Lionsgate’s highly anticipated The Hunger Games. The studio is hoping Games becomes the next big franchise in the vein of Harry Potter, as the book series comes with millions of devoted fans.

Mirror Mirror is one of two Snow White movies coming out this year (the other is Snow White and the Huntsman), and Singh’s light and fluffy take on the fairy tale looks genuinely terrible. It appears to be more farce than anything, and I highly doubt young teenagers will choose Mirror Mirror over a second go-around with The Hunger Games come opening weekend.

New Set Images from Tarsem Singh’s Snow White Film MIRROR MIRROR

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: January 12th, 2012 at 2:43 pm

It’s officially 2012, which means we’re that much closer to the first of two Snow White films set for release this year. First out of the gate will be director Tarsem Singh’s Mirror Mirror (followed by Snow White and the Huntsman this summer).  A gallery of new official set photos from the film has been released, giving us a look into Singh’s artistic process of bringing Snow White to life. The trailer for Mirror Mirror (described as a “comedic adventure) wasn’t exactly promising, but the visuals on display in these photos are pretty stunning. Disney regular Alan Menken (Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast) is working on the score for the film, so it’s safe to say that we’re in for a pretty fluffy version of the Snow White fairy tale.

New Posters for STAR WARS: EPISODE I – THE PHANTOM MENACE 3D and MIRROR MIRROR

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: December 19th, 2011 at 2:18 pm

We’ve got a couple of new posters to share with you today. First up is an international poster for the 3D re-release of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menance. There’s not much to it, as it’s basically just Yoda getting his stare on. Apparently overseas Yoda is the big draw to get people to see Episode I again, while in the U.S. it’s Darth Maul and pod racers. Additionally, we’ve got a poster for Tarsem Singh’s Snow White film Mirror Mirror. Every new piece of marketing material for the flick makes it less and less appealing. The trailer was beyond strange, and this poster ups the “fluffy” factor even more. Maybe kids will respond, but at this point I don’t see teenagers/adults flocking to this Snow White tale.

Hit the jump to check out the posters. Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace 3D opens February 10th, 2012, and Mirror Mirror is slated for March 16th, 2012.

Alan Menken to Score Tarsem Singh’s Snow White Film MIRROR MIRROR

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: December 8th, 2011 at 5:54 pm

Relativity continues to distance their Snow White film Mirror Mirror from Universal’s dark and gritty take Snow White and the Huntsman, as the studio has tapped Disney regular Alan Menken to compose the score. The eight-time Oscar winner is responsible for the music and songs from classics like Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, and Aladdin. Heat Vision reports that Menken will be taking on scoring duties for director Tarsem Singh’s Snow White story, which is described as a “comedic adventure.” The trailer for the film was pretty terrible and cartoony, but maybe over-the-top is what Singh is going for. The addition of Menken is in keeping with the lightness we’ve seen of the project thus far.

Menken recently composed music and songs for 2007’s Enchanted and last year’s Tangled. This year he contributed the song “Star Spangled Man” to Marvel’s Captain America: The First Avenger. I’m partial to his work with Disney, but it’ll be interesting to see what he brings to the Snow White pic. Hit the jump for a sampling of his work. Mirror Mirror opens March 16th, 2012.

First Trailer for Tarsem Singh’s MIRROR MIRROR Starring Julia Roberts

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: November 15th, 2011 at 3:35 pm

Fresh off the first trailer for the battle-heavy Snow White and the Huntsman, Relativity has released the first look at their take on Snow White, Mirror Mirror. Directed by Tarsem Singh, the fantasy film is described as a “comedic adventure”and centers on Snow White (Lily Collins) setting out to reclaim her birthright from the Evil Queen (Julia Roberts). Mirror Mirror couldn’t be more different from Huntsman. It’s light, fluffy, and goofy. It’s also pretty close to terrible. The film almost comes off as a farce, it’s just so incredibly goofy. It’s as if Adam Sandler‘s Happy Madison decided to make a Snow White movie. With Tarsem at the helm, we’re sure to be in for a visual treat, but I fear the tone may painfully overshadow the extravagant visuals.

Tarsem Singh Talks IMMORTALS and MIRROR, MIRROR

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: November 7th, 2011 at 11:11 am

With director Tarsem Singh’s new film Immortals opening this weekend, over the next few days Collider is going to be overrun with exclusive interviews with the filmmakers and cast.  For those not familiar with Immortals (watch the trailer and clips), the film centers on Theseus (Henry Cavill), a mortal, who teams up with the Greek gods in order to defeat the power-hungry King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke).  The film also stars Freida Pinto, Luke Evans, Isabel Lucas, Joseph Morgan, Kellan Lutz, and Stephen Dorff.

During my extended video interview with Singh, he talked about his media training, how the finished film compares with his original vision, the technology that was used making the film, deleted scenes, slow motion, and more.  In addition, we talked about his Snow White movie Mirror, Mirror and if Sean Bean will actually survive for once (he dies in almost every movie/TV show he’s a part of).  Hit the jump to watch.

Relativity’s Snow White Film Titled MIRROR MIRROR

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: November 4th, 2011 at 1:26 pm

Thank the maker! It’s finally time to put Untitled Snow White Project That’s Not the One with Kristen Stewart to bed, as Relativity’s competing Snow White project finally has a title: Mirror Mirror. It’s a fine title, and pretty much gets the point across that we’re dealing with fairy tales here. While there’s a multitude of Snow White movies in development, this one differs greatly from its main competitor, Snow White and the Huntsman. The Kristen Stewart-led pic is an epic, dark, and gritty take on the fairy tale, while Mirror Mirror is described as a lighthearted comedy action-adventure.

The Fall’s Tarsem Singh directs, so we’re in for a visual treat, and Lily Collins stars as the eponymous Snow White. The supporting cast that includes Julia Roberts as the Evil Queen, Armie Hammer as the prince, Sean Bean as the King, as well as Nathan Lane. Click here to check out a number of images from the film, which should give you a better idea of the tone. Mirror Mirror opens March 16th, 2012. [Update: We've been sent the full press release, which is included after the jump]
