Back in November of last year, we got our first look at the OTHER Snow White movie, the one NOT starring Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron. This one is called Mirror, Mirror, and Julia Roberts is the Evil Queen and Lily Collins (daughter of Phil) is Snow White. The first trailer was just awful – Julia is cackling away, seeming to aim for… camp, I think. Armie Hammer as the prince was the only highlight, just because he already looks like a cartoon prince.
But the film falls on the unsteady shoulders of Lily Collins, and dear God, I feel bad for this girl. She might be a fine actress – sure. But she was utterly miscast as Snow White. She’s an attractive girl, but Snow White is supposed to be beautiful, and considering how many references there are to Snow White versus the Queen’s comparative beauties, you’d think they would have gone with someone less… hairy? There’s just a grooming problem. And she looks so young, it’s kind of gross to see her with Armie Hammer.
Anyway, there’s a new international trailer, and if possible, it’s even worse than the first one. The first (domestic) trailer was more Julia Roberts-centric, and in this one, we’re seeing more of Snow White and the dwarves. It’s just… awful. Why was this poor girl cast as Snow White?!?!?
