Reports that production for the film was affected by the London riots are untrue, says Universal.
Internet reports that Universal's Snow White and the Huntsman production was halted because of the London riots are false, a Universal spokesperson tells The Hollywood Reporter. The production is currently filming outside of London at the Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, England. The lot is 20 miles out London's SoHo neighborhood and eight miles from Heathrow airport. The false reports appear to have stemmed from a tweet, which read: "A friend of mine is stuck in London w/ #KristenStewart's team. They JUST stopped #SnowWhite prep work until riots die down #prayforlondon". Liberty Ross and Noah Huntley were recently added to the film's cast, as the parents of Kristen Stewart's Snow White. Chris Hemsworth (The Huntsman), Charlize Theron (The Evil Queen) and Sam Claflin (Prince Charmant) round out director Rupert Sanders' cast. The film is scheduled for a June 1, 2012 release. Source: The Hollywood Reporter Actress Kristen Stewart’s upcoming film, Snow White and the Huntsman, has finally cast Snow White’s father. I was rather impressed by the concept art we previewed for the fairy tale film. Not only does Snow White get to wear armor, but the Huntsman, also known as actor Chris Hemsworth, is looking great in brown hair, a transition for Thor‘s blonde tresses. The last we heard, Lily Cole was signing on to act in the film, but now Noah Huntley joins her.
Huntley has acted in The Mists of Avalon as Gawain, in Megiddo: The Omega Code 2, in the Midsomer Murdersepisode called, “Who Killed Cock Robin”, in the Where the Heart Is episode called, “Don’t Let Go,” and in 28 Days Later. Now, he will act as Snow White’s father according to a Tweet from producer Palak Patel. Speculation suggested Snow White’s parents don’t last too long in the movie. There wouldn’t be an evil step mother, I suppose, if Snow White’s parents didn’t pass on first. Snow White and the Huntsman has an anticipated release date of the first of June, 2012 and is said to star Charlize Theron, Eddie Marsan, Ray Winstone, Nick Frost, Ian McShane, Toby Jones and Sam Claflin.

Now, a race is on between rival Hollywood studios to recreate the Brothers Grimm fairy tale. Universal Pictures and Relativity Media are set to release their interpretations of the story within weeks of each other next year. Disney itself is working on a third new version, which has yet to go into production. The Brothers Grimm: Snow White, the more light-hearted offering from Relativity, was first out of the blocks when producers picked up a promising script in June last year. However, the studio discovered it was under threat from Universal's grittier version, Snow White and The Huntsman. Hollywood's equivalent of an arms race ensued, with the two camps leapfrogging each other's release dates in an attempt to be first out with their film – and vying for the biggest stars. Universal's film was set for release in December 2012 but Relativity jumped in ahead, announcing its version would be screened six months earlier, from June 29. Universal responded by signing Charlize Theron to play the Evil Queen, and Kristen Stewart as Snow White – and announcing a new release date, four weeks in front of its rival. Relativity, which in film studio terms is the David to Universal's Goliath, then achieved a coup by signing Julia Roberts, to play the Evil Queen. Lily Collins, daughter of Phil Collins, the singer, was cast as Snow White. It also brought forward its release date again, to March 2012, and is due to come out first. Universal is still pinning its hopes on a dream list of actors as Stewart's dwarfs, including Sir Ben Kingsley, Gary Oldman, Bob Hoskins, and Terry Gilliam. Meanwhile, Disney has been quietly moving ahead with The Order of the Seven, which will be set in China and will focus on the characters of the dwarfs. Craig Detweiler, a film expert and associate professor at Pepperdine University, California, said: "It's like the space race but, rather than a race to the Moon it's a race to the Cineplex. In a sense Hollywood is a very small town and there's a paucity of ideas so when promising subject matter comes along everyone jumps on it. "The quality of the film is important – but sometimes being first is enough." Photographs released of Stewart and Collins illustrate how the actresses will take radically different approaches to the character. Collins will be a family-friendly, wisecracking princess in what is billed as a comedy-fantasy. Stewart, clad in armour, will play the princess as an action heroine who is chased through the Dark Forest by evil forces. Roberts will play a slapstick evil queen who suffers money problems, while Theron will be a more villainous character who feeds on the beauty of young girls. Hollywood studios have a history of entering into almost identical film projects in the hope rivals will withdraw. When Oliver Stone's Alexander, starring Colin Farrell, went into production a plan for a similar film starring Leonardo Di Caprio was shelved. A similar fate befell a planned movie about a viral outbreak with Jodie Foster and Robert Redford when Outbreak, starring Dustin Hoffman, went ahead. But in the battle of the Snow Whites, neither side has blinked. Tarsem Singh, director of the Roberts and Collins version, said: "Two Snow White movies do not exist in this market. So for me, if you're not first with this one, you're not in the game." Brandon Gray, founder of Box Office Mojo, a film revenue tracking website, said the battle stemmed from the success of last year's Alice in Wonderland, which grossed $1 billion (£610 million). He said: "Three movies on the same subject in such a short period of time may be unprecedented." Source: telegraph.co.uk We've long known that Charlize Theron would play Kristen Stewart-as-Snow White's evil stepmother in "Snow White and the Huntsman," the radical, warrior-style retelling of the classic fairytale. Now, the rest of the on-the-run princess' family has been revealed.
Producer Palak Patel tweeted Friday that Noah Huntley and Liberty Ross would play the king and queen parents of Snow White in the upcoming film, adding a veteran and a newcomer to the star-studded cast. Huntley is coming off another medieval turn, as the head knight in the stoner spoof, "Your Highness," though he'll play a more noble -- if more foolish -- character in this one. Ross, on the other hand, has yet to appear in a film; she makes her big screen debut in Madonna's upcoming flick, "W.E," which has its own royal storyline. Ross plays, according to Vogue UK, one of King Edward VIII's mistresses before he abdicates the throne in the face of war in the 1930s. If it sounds familiar, it's also part of the story told in last year's Oscar winner, "The King's Speech." In addition to Stewart and Theron, the two join Chris Hemsworth, who plays the titular Huntsman, and Sam Claflin, who takes on the role of Prince Charming. The film's unconventional costumes and storyline were revealed at Comic-Con in July as it tries to separate itself from a pack that now not only includes a Summit-produced Lily Collins-starring traditional take on the tale, which co-stars Julia Roberts as the Evil Queen and Armie Hammer as the Prince, but also a China-set radical retelling coming from Disney.
