Vulture has long been tracking next year's matchup of two rival Snow White movies — one an untitled project from Relativity Studios directed by Tarsem Singh with Julia Roberts as the Evil Queen, the other Universal's Snow White and the Huntsman, with Kristen Stewart as the ingenue and Charlize Theron as the villainess — so when we saw screenwriter Jason Keller last night at the premiere of Machine Gun Preacher (which he wrote), we had to know how he got involved with scripting the Singh version. Turns out, it all happened very fast. "Snow White I wrote in December 2010, and that is unheard of, in terms of writing a script and going into production when it did," he confessed.
