Big Characters Play Small

Eddie Izzard, Bob Hoskins and Toby Jones will all play dwarfs in Snow White and the Huntsman says THR




Hossein Amini rewrote original scribe Evan Daugherty's version of the classic fairy tale with Evan Spiliotopoulos taking a crack at it The story expands the role of the Huntsman (Chris Hemsworth). Ordered to take the evil Queen's (Charlize Theron) stepdaughter Snow White (Kristen Stewart) into the woods and kill her, The Huntsman instead lets her go and becomes something of a mentor who teaches her how to fight and survive.

Jones is a timid dwarf named Claudius and Izzard will be Tiberius, described as the biggest and burliest of the crew. Hoskins will play Constantine, a blind dwarf.

Eddie Marsan and Steven Graham are both currently in negotiations play two more of the Dwarfs

Love the choices here as well as the character nameplay for the Dwarves

Sam Claflin plays the Prince while Ian McShane is Caesar, the leader of the dwarfs.

Rupert Sanders will call action for producer Joe Roth

Snow White and the Huntsman is scheduled to open June 1, 2012 and is not to be confused with the rival flick staring Julia Roberts, Lily Collins and Armie Hammer called The Brothers Grimm: Snow White with Tarsem Singh sitting in the big chair for its March 16, 2012 bow.
