How am I contradicting myself? Universal had been in talks with Daughtry long before Relativity green lit their project. Relativity just had the fortune of getting ball rolling faster with casting and getting a director.

Sorry, you are contradicting yourself. Relativity clearly made the first move with Universal playing catch-up, as evidenced by everything in their schedules being a few months apart, and Universal resorting to desperate tactics like forcing their release dates earlier and announcing without basis that their project might be turned into a trilogy (it won\’t).

No, Liz.

Relativity acquired The Brothers Grimm: Snow White in June, Universal didn\’t buy Huntsman until September.

@Linda

Universal has had a Snow White project in the works since 2009. Evan Daughtry\’s original script had been on the market even longer than that.

@Mia and Linda.

That is not true. Universal had purchased the rights to the first draft of the SWATH script before Relativity even considered doing a Snow White project. The only thing Relativity got right was its cast before Universal had even finished casting process.

Besides Sean Bean and Lily Collins have a better resemblance to Snow White, I think Relativity\’s project is weaker. Singh might be good, aesthetically, with a lens, but he\’s worked with weaker plots. His upcoming film \”Immortals\” doesn\’t look to promising either.

Universal\’s film looks more promising, but we will just have to wait and see.

Relativity and Jason should just give me the money they\’re spending on this sure fire failure and let me go to Vegas. I have a very good winning record at Harrah\’s and could make a lot more money for them than they\’ll make with this \”I have to get mine out before you do even if we did it in ten minutes it\’s still great\” piece of b.s. lol

oh and in response to Kim who posted: \”Those movies you listed may not have been the greatest, but her name (Julia Roberts) still holds more weight than Theron and Stewart.\” Thanks for the laugh! Kristen Stewart rules these days, sweetie….

Universal\’s cast OWNS Relativity\’s so much it\’s embarrassing. Julia hasn\’t made a good movie in YEARS. Sean Bean plays the same character in every film, plus he\’s hardly in this. I\’ve never heard of Lily Collins and Armie is know for one film.

The dwarf cast ALONE makes me want to see Huntsman, and I just want to see Kristen Stewart in anything but a Twilight film. I know a helluva lot of people like those films but she is a proper actress and does not get to show it there.

Agreed @Mia.

And why doesn\’t anyone mention it\’s only become a rush job (on both films) because Universal moved up their original December release date to a week before Relativity\’s original June release, forcing them to retaliate by moving theirs earlier? The writer\’s comments and the media\’s interpretations of his comments are misconstruing the situation, making it seem like Relativity only wanted to do the movie to mess with Universal, when really, it\’s more the other way around.

That\’s a misleading title. They already had a script and the project in the works before Uni. Keller is saying that he re-wrote the original script and it was fast-tracked so that they could get the film out first which is understandable and standard practice.

He sounds proud of the script so I don\’t see what the problem is. You are acting like he wrote the first draft of his version and they started filming a week later! They\’ve had six months to make revisions to the script before they even started filming.

What good is sean bean if the film is a \”comedy adventure\” with nathan lane making jokes throughout the whole movie? This gig sounds like a \”mortgage\” job for him. You know it\’s in bad shape when the writer can\’t even play along.

@beth

Those movies you listed may not have been the greatest, but her name still holds more weight than Theron and Stewart.

translation: ryan kavanaugh isn\’t interested in making a good film, he just wants a pissing contest.

Julia Roberts being interested doesn\’t mean anything. She has been in a rut recently. I don\’t care which one does better, I just can\’t wait for them to end.

Sean Bean is in, that means I\'m in!!! I actually think this cast is better than Universal\'s cast. Bean>>Hemsworth, Hammer>>The other dude playing the prince, Roberts and Theron is a toss up IMO, and so to is Collins and Stewart. But Relativity having Sean Bean certainly gives them an edge for me, the guy is the boss. Can\'t wait to see him and this movie.

Julia Robert\’s recents projects were shit : valentine day, eat pray and love and Larry crowne so her name being involved in this movie doesn\’t mean anything. Also They dropped the first script ( that was good) because it wouldn\’t allow them to rush out.

And Tarsem doing a comedy and adventure movie? what a gag. Bad move.
