"It's meant to be the first in a series of films. This story will end, but there will be questions remaining for these three characters".
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.
The Snow White in this film "starts out not a damsel in distress, but innocent, and after 11 years of imprisonment by the Evil Queen, she escapes and learns the ways of a warrior in the woods."
Roth adds that "We retain the basic story of [Alice in Wonderland] a young girl meant to be the queen who is cast out. The Huntsman is a mercenary, in the sense that he's a guy who is very able in the woods, more able than most anyone. His job is to capture runaway girls, who are all fleeing the kingdom because of the queen. He's a nondescript bounty hunter, as we first meet him... He's not a nice guy, but not only that he’s someone who has lost hope and lost faith. He has lost his wife, given up on everything."
Sam Claflin plays the Prince while Ian McShane is Caesar, the leader of the dwarfs. while Ray Winstone Eddie Marsan Eddie Izzard, Bob Hoskins Toby Jones and Steven Graham round them out
Rupert Sanders will call action
