Tarsem Singh Offered to Direct THE BROTHERS GRIMM SNOW WHITE

If anyone could end up making a visually stunning and crazy live-action Snow White film it's Tarsem Singh. In fact, I had no interest at all in this project until I heard that Tarsem was offered to direct it. This is the same guy that made The Cell and The Fall. I couldn't think of a better director to bring this fairy tale life. I seriously can't even imagine what he will come up with. 

The Brothers Grimm Snow White isn't the only Snow White film going into production, there is one being developed at Universal Pictures called Snow White and the Huntsman, and Disney is working on a film called Snow White and the Seven

This project is the one being set up at Relativity Media with Brett Ratner producing. In a previous interview he had this to say about the project.

This is not your grandfather’s Snow White. Melisa [Wallack, who wrote the script] went back to the 500 year old folk tale and put in some of the things that were missing from Walt Disney’s film. His dwarfs were miners, and here they are robbers. There is also a dragon that was in the original folk tale. Walt made one of the great movies of all time, but ours is edgy and there is more comedy. The original, made for its time, was soft compared to what we’re going to do.

I hate the fact Ratner is involved with this project, but I love that Tarsem might end up directing it. If he doesn't end up taking the directing gig, then any interest I have in the project goes with it. Tarsem has the ability and creative vision to bring us a Snow White film that none of us could have ever imagined, and that's what gets me excited about the project. 

What do you all think about Tarsem possibly directing this Snow White film?
