Surprisingly Great Trailer for THE HUNTSMAN: WINTER'S WAR
Jessica Chastain, Emily Blunt, and Charlize Theron are three of my favorite actresses working today, and the fact that they star in The Huntsman: Winter's War together is pretty exciting. That's one of the main reasons I'm interesting in seeing this film. Snow White and the Hunstman ended up being disappointing, but this sequel looks a hell of a lot better.
Universal Pictures has released a full trailer for The Huntsman: Winter's War, and it really looks like it could be a great film! I had no interest in this movie at all when it was first announced, but now I'm completely on board. I just hope the movie ends up actually being as good as it looks. It kind of has a Frozen vibe to it. I also included a couple new posters that have been released.
The movie was directed by visual effects supervisor Cedric Nicolas-Troyan. Hopefully, he has a better sense of storytelling than director Rupert Sanders did with the first film. Here's the full detailed synopsis:
The fantastical world of Snow White and the Huntsman expands to reveal how the fates of The Huntsman Eric and Queen Ravenna are deeply and dangerously intertwined.
Long before the evil Queen Ravenna (Theron) was thought vanquished by Snow White’s blade, she watched silently as her sister, Freya (Blunt), suffered a heartbreaking betrayal and fled their kingdom. With Freya’s ability to freeze any enemy, the young ice queen has spent decades in a remote wintry palace raising a legion of deadly huntsmen—including Eric (Chris Hemsworth) and warrior Sara (Chastain)—only to find that her prized two defied her one demand: Forever harden your hearts to love.
When Freya learns of her sister’s demise, she summons her remaining soldiers to bring the Magic Mirror home to the only sorceress left who can harness its power. But once she discovers Ravenna can be resurrected from its golden depths, the wicked sisters threaten this enchanted land with twice the darkest force it’s ever seen. Now, their amassing army shall prove undefeatable…unless the banished huntsmen who broke their queen’s cardinal rule can fight their way back to one another.
The Huntsman: Winter’s War opens in theaters on April 22nd, 2016.
