Sean Bean Joins Tarsem's SNOW WHITE
Former Game of Thrones star Sean Bean is in final negotiations to take on the role of Snow White's father in Tarsem Singh untitled Snow White film. Bean is a great actor that is a perfect fit for the role, and he'll make a fantastic addition to the cast of this film.
The movie is currently shooting in Montreal, and stars Julia Roberts as the evil queen, Lily Collins as her Snow White and Armie Hammer as the handsome prince. As the classic tale goes, the queen wants be the most beautiful woman in the land, and will murder her young step daughter to achieve that goal.
Here's the previously released description that gives you some more detail about the film:
While many of the classic Snow White elements show through in the film's design -- particularly in the look of the forest -- the artwork seems to draw from a wide range of inspiration, including a very Indian-looking palace and several masquerade designs reminiscent of Mardi Gras and old storybook illustrations.
Multiple costume parties are said to play a role in the film and promise to be extremely bright and colorful. Against them, the Prince (Armie Hammer) is seen in a coat and tales costume with (for the party) rabbit ears emerging from his top hat.
Snow White herself (Lilly Collins) is the biggest departure from the original story and will be portrayed as a bit of a fighter, allowing for multiple action sequences. Exiled from her kingdom, she's actively trying to win back her rightful throne and combines a blue dress with black, leather armor.
Each of the film's seven dwarfs features a distinctive look and seems to be nicknamed by their costume. "Cowboy" wears a cowboy hat, "Wolf" is draped in animal skin and another wears a crooked top hat.
The Evil Queen (Julia Roberts) takes the cake for costume changes. Her character had pages and pages of different elaborate dresses in various colors and shapes, including an impressive ice-inspired design.
The film also stars Nathan Lane, Robert Emms, Mare Winningham, Michael Lerner, Mark Povinelli, Jordan Prentice, Danny Woodburn, Sebastian Saraceno, Ronald Lee Clark, Martin Klebba and Joey Gnoffo. Snow White is set for release on March 16, 2012.
