CAST

• Lily Collins as Snow White • Armie Hammer as Prince Andrew Alcott • Nathan Lane as Brighton • Sean Bean as The King • Mare Winningham as Baker Margaret • Michael Lerner as The Baron • Robert Emms as Renbock • Mark Povinelli as Half-Pint • Danny Woodburn as Grimm • Jordan Prentice as Napoleon • Ronald Lee Clark as Chuckles • Sebastian Saraceno as Wolf • Martin Klebba as Butcher • Joe Gnoffo as Grub • Julia Roberts as Queen Clementianna – Roberts was the first to be cast, because very early on Tarsem Singh wanted an Evil Queen with whom audiences could relate.

PLOT

A wicked enchantress schemes and scrambles for control of a spirited orphan's throne and the attention of a charming prince. When Snow White's beauty wins the heart of the prince that she desperately pursues, the Queen banishes her to the forest, where a ravenous man-eating beast hungrily awaits. Rescued by a band of diminutive highway robbers (the seven dwarves), Snow White grows into an indomitable young woman determined to take back her realm from the treacherous Queen.

Once upon a time, in an enchanted kingdom, there was a beautiful princess... (Singing and dancing) I believe, I believe, I believe in love! ... With skin as white as snow, and hair as black as night... (Queen) Blah, blah, blah. Her hair is not black, it's raven, and she's 18 years old and her skin has never seen the sun, so of course it's good. ... This Spring... - Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the fairest of them all? (mirror) Snow White. - What? - What? - Snow White - Ugh! ... A classic tale... - Do you want to hear it? ... Gets a new wrinkle... - Oh! They're not wrinkles, they're just crinkles. Banish her to the woods. (thunderclap) Is it done? - Just as you instructed. - I'm impressed. You're not as pathetic and wimpy as I have always believed. - That's the nicest thing you've ever said to me. ... You're invited to discover... The Prince is rich. I'm going to marry him and then my financial problems will be solved. ... An untold adventure... (Queen) Organise a ball. We are going to sweep this kid off his feet. ...of romance... - Snow White is the most beautiful woman in the whole world. - Agree to disagree. ...mystery... - Who are you? - Snow White. - Snow who? - Snow way! ...power... - This doesn't fit, your Majesty...! - Well, you must have shrunk it! Cinch me up. I knew I was the same size. ... and magic. (Queen) I'll use the love potion. (she squeals) Puppy love. What am I supposed to do with a puppy? -You can rub my tummy! - Fetch!

It's time we changed that ending. - You're with the bandits? - You're with the Queen! - Shall we help her? - She's doing pretty good on her own. - If you weren't trying to stab me right now, I'd be tempted to kiss you. -The bandits' leader is a she. - The bandits' leader is Snow White. (Queen laughs) - Who feels like crashing a wedding? (howls) (Queen) And here I was having such a good day! Everyone has magic within them. - Yes. - Snap! (screams - chirruping) I definitely have a happily-ever-after theme going on! ...Mirror, Mirror... The untold adventures of Snow-White! - Anyone knows how to break a spell? - Say hello to my little friend! (cheering) Snow White As kind and generous as she is beautiful, Snow White was the apple of her late father’s eye and is beloved in the royal household by all but the Queen and her simpering minions. Surviving mistreatment and neglect to blossom into a spirited young woman gifted with her father’s courage, wisdom and love for his subjects, Snow transforms herself into a battle-ready people’s princess to win back the kingdom from the conniving Queen.

The Queen A bewitching beauty with a towering temper, the scheming Queen is actually an enchantress who keeps herself alluring with extreme beauty treatments, from bee stings and snake venom to flesh-eating worms. After usurping the throne, she bankrupts the kingdom with her extravagant ways. When the wealthy Prince Alcott fortuitously comes her way, she uses every weapon in her arsenal to beguile him.

Prince Alcott The devastatingly handsome and somewhat earnest heir to the throne of Valencia is looking for the princely adventure of a lifetime when he stumbles into the Queen’s court. The unrivalled prosperity of his realm makes the Prince catnip for the cash- strapped Queen—but he only has eyes for her lovely ward, Snow White.

Brighton The Queen’s executive bootlicker, Brighton is also her favourite whipping boy. The hapless, bumbling sycophant is always ready to bear her insults and do her bidding, from extorting ruinous taxes from the people to planning the murder of her rivals.
