Ian McShane has signed on to play Caesar, the leader of the dwarfs in Snow White and the Huntsman. (That’s easily the coolest sentence I’ve written in months.) For those keeping track, this is Universal’s Snow White project, the one that stars Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron, and Chris Hemsworth. The Relativity Snow White project — which has no title and stars other people — just entered into principal photography to be in theaters by March 16, 2012. According to Heat Vision, director Rupert Sanders will shoot Snow White and the Huntsman in August, content to open a couple months later on June 1, 2012. Heat Vision provides this logline:
[Snow White and the Huntsman] is a revisionist take on the fairy tale and features Snow White (Stewart) as a princess who escapes her evil stepmother (Theron) with the help of a huntsman (Hemsworth) who was to have killed her but now trains the princess to survive and fight back.
Let it be decreed that any Snow White movie that casts Ian McShane (as a dwarf no less!) has the advantage, no matter the release date.

agreed completely. now im excited for it.
Al Swearengen is in this junk pile. Admittedly the rest of the cast isn’t that bad but KStew reeks. I can not watch her blink and stutter through another film. She was the worst part of Adventureland. She’ll suck in this one.
Kristin Stewart is proof that the casting couch is alive and well.
@Mickey I don’t know what you are talking about but kristen was one of the best parts of adventureland. You sound bitter you disgusting human being.
He should have been either Thorin Oakenshield or Balin, so nice to see McShane finally get his turn as a Dwarf!
And Mickey, I agree about Kristen Stewart. She’s completely repulsive, a God-awful “actress”, looks like she has typhoid, and not surprisingly, eats her own hair.
Oh my ! how old are you ? 13 ? I am genuinely curious.
Ian McShane!!! GREAT! He was the evil dude of The Pillars of the earth!!! I am psyched for this project!!!!!YES!!!
This man is so damn badass.THANK YOU Snow white and The Huntsman!!!
BTW regular blog visitor,
That one above^ called who calls herself Mickey is 1 of loonies who takes every opportunity to slander Kristen Stewart related things, because Kristen is humping what their sexually frustrated fat ass behind a computer 24-7 can’t have. Robert Pattinson.
ITA Marc..the above Kstew haters who invades evry blog sites are desperate hags..unfortunately no one listens to them..its hard for them to swallow that Universal (not Summit ..mind you ) courted kristen to take this part..sorry Universal and industry bigwigs would not listen to you..let the legit movie critics speak not you who only fantasizes Robs anatomy….Ian Ms Shane is the so excellent..great casting SWATH!
big fan of kristen here..im glad with SWATH,good casting with genius director,oscar nominee scriptwriter and big studio to back it up…to all kristen detractors,theres always a room for you..FATASS.com
I love how the above three idiots all speak the sa
I love how the above “three” 5-year-old idiots all speak the same made-up language!
Sounds great, Ian will rock this role like he always does. Can’t wait to see it.
@Robotpo What the hell is wrong with you? How could you talk like that about someone who has done nothing to you and you don’t even know? You need to get a life.
Great casting. Ian is superb. This Snow White definitely has the superior cast.
By the way, does Robert Pattinson have the most psycho fans on the internet? They seem to go to every single site where Kristen Stewart is mentioned, all so they can trash and disparage the girl just because she’s dating their dream guy. These people need to grow up and seek professional help.
wow Robert pattinson cougar fans get pathetics more and more everyday . I am starting to think they go on every blogs to post the same lame comments they post on twitter.
These women are really sad. This is one of the reasons he will never be taken seriously as an actor. people like Andrew Garfield and Ryan Goslin don’t have obsessed Cougars and pathetic teen girls as fans. I feel bad for him.
Kristen Stewart is fine and she will be a great snow white. Can’t wait for this movie the cast is perfect .
i love kristen stewart the rest of the cast and the story sounds to great for words also ian mcshane i used to watch him in love joy so im not some child this film is going to be epic love kristen stewart and this swath is a must see for me and my family go team kristen kick some butt
tell me about Tarsem’s Snow White, it’s much more interesting!
btw yeah, why don’t ya?? there some pics on the net!!!!!
“Now we’ll show you how to kill that C*cksucking F*cking C**t Queen. Dan, fetch my pistol. Aw oh, wrong part. Hi Ho Hi Ho…..”
Wheatly, make that four idiots.
God, what a wasteland the internet is…
Yep, and you are the reason. Low life trash…
Thanks for sharing. Now back you your Twilight movies, Ugluk!
