Walt Disney’s classic tale Snow White, and also the very first feature-length animated film they made, is getting re-vamped this year by two different studios, Relativity Media is presenting Mirror, Mirror and Universal has Snow White and the Huntsman. Neither of these films are remaking the epic tale of a black haired beauty with red rose lips who awaits her prince charming while being hunted by an evil queen. The new Snow White‘s are going to be much different, and Relativity Media’s Mirror, Mirror looks to be playing the eccentricity card with Evil Queen Julia Roberts at the helm and quite a bite to the humor.

Mirror Mirror will be released on March 30, 2012. From Relativity Media here is a breakdown of their new take on an old story–with 300 and Immortals Director Tarsem Singh holding the reigns, making sure it will be over-the-top stylistically.

Mirror Mirror is a spectacular re-imagining of the classic fairy tale starring Oscar® winner Julia Roberts as the Queen, Lily Collins (The Blind Side) as Snow White, Armie Hammer (The Social Network) as Prince Alcott, Sean Bean (“The Game of Thrones”, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King) as the King and Nathan Lane (The Lion King, The Birdcage) as the Queen’s hapless and bungling servant, Brighton. An evil queen steals control of a kingdom and an exiled princess enlists the help of seven resourceful rebels to win back her birthright in a spirited adventure comedy filled with jealousy, romance and betrayal that will capture the imagination of audiences the world over.
Visionary director Tarsem Singh (Immortals) rewrites fairy tale history as a wicked enchantress (Roberts) schemes and scrambles for control of a spirited orphan’s (Collins) throne and the attention of a charming prince (Hammer). 
When Snow White’s beauty wins the heart of the prince that she desperately pursues, the Queen banishes her to the forest, where a ravening man-eating beast hungrily awaits.
Rescued by a band of diminutive highway robbers, Snow White grows into an indomitable young woman determined to take back her realm from the treacherous Queen. With the support of her subjects, she roars into action in an epic battle that blends spectacle, magic and contemporary humor in Singh’s signature, jaw-dropping visual style.

You can see from above the visual stylings are a HUGE selling point on the film. We have to wait until March to see for ourselves but until then there is a featurette to keep us entertained, and of course a rousing trailer that showcases the biting wit of Julia Roberts, and Armie Hammer’s good looks, plus Lily Collins raven hair and perfect skin. Lest we not forget Nathan Lane–welcome back Nathan to comedy on the big screen; and Sean Bean from “Game of Thrones”–we really hope you don’t get your head chopped off this time around.
