Teaser Promo Art for Tarsem Singh's SNOW WHITE
Earlier this week some details were released for the untitled Tarsem Singh's directed film of Snow White. If you've seen Tarsem's film like The Fall and The Cell then you know the guy has an incredibly visual imagination. I think it's exciting that he is doing this Snow White because if anyone could bring something special and different to it, it's him.
Here is some promo art for the film that was released recently giving us our first look at the style and direction he is going to take the film. Take a look and tell us what you think!
Here's the previously released description:
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.
