Universal’s Snow White and the Huntsman is hitting theaters June 1, and as we wait, they’re trying something new with the marketing. We’ve seen commentaries for trailers before, but now we’ve got an interactive trailer that lets you comment, share, buy tickets, and also get snippets of factoids about the making of the film. Check it out below
While the big summer buzz is mostly attached to The Avengers, Prometheus, The Amazing Spider-Man, and The Dark Knight Rises, Snow White and The Huntsman has been steadily building up steam on the way to its June 1 premiere. We’ve already seen a great full trailer, received news of a pre-approved sequel, and caught a great poster and solid new clip. Now, MTV has released a clip of what looks like the climactic battle between Kristen Stewart’s Snow White and Charlize Theron’s Queen Ravenna—and it looks good.
After four years, five films, and countless castings, The Avengers have finally assembled. In less than 24 hours, anxious fans will see Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye fight side-by-side on the big screen. The Avengers Hollywood premiere took place last month, and immediately after, the cast participated in a press conference where they dished on their characters and each other.
Check out some highlights below…
Despite the fact that the Snow White and the Huntsman won’t be released until June, just like The Avengers 2 and The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Snow White and the Huntsman 2 has already been fast tracked into development. So, even before seeing the upcoming film starring Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth, and Charlize Theron in an epic adventure in which the vampire girl and Thor do battle with Aileen Wuornos. Do I have that right?
Wow. I mean, seriously, WOW. The Cabin in the Woods is unlike any horror film you will ever see, bending not only the horror genre on its totally whacked ear but twisting all kinds of other cinematic techniques as well. From the minds of Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard, it is truly one of the most inventive and ingenious movies to come around in a long time.
Joss Whedon’s having a rather eventful 2012—in addition to writing and directing the megabudget superhero colossus that is The Avengers, a horror film that he produced and co-wrote with director and former Whedon Buffy the Vampire Slayer collaborator Drew Goddard in 2009 called The Cabin in the Woods is finally seeing the light of day after three years of silence due to the film’s parent studio, MGM, going bankrupt. And if you’re curious about the unconventional horror film, we’ve got a spooky clip after the jump.
Though The Hunger Games may have set the event film bar higher with its record-breaking $155 Million opening, the summer movie season is only a few weeks away and it’s going to kick off with The Avengers – which is looking to be a monster of a release. It’s not a sequel, per se, but it does bring together Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man with Mark Ruffalo‘s Hulk, Jeremy Renner‘s Hawkeye, Chris Hemsworth‘s Thor, Chris Evans‘s Captain America, and Scarlet Johansson‘s Black Widow. To get you more stoked, there’s a new featurette on the film, check it out…
Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron are heading up the big-screen action-fantasy film version of Snow White and the Huntsman, and it feels weird to say this, but man does this look right. Perhaps it’s films like Mirror, Mirror that set the tone for films like this – we’re used to redresses of classic fairy tales done in a mockish style – but there’s something about this trailer that suggests scale and it never feels cloying about its origins. Check out the full trailer…
The latest and possibly most grotesque trend in marketing is now to offer a preview of an upcoming trailer. Or – to put it bluntly – a trailer for a trailer. These thirty second clips tease the images that will be teased at greater length in the near future. We’ve seen it with Super Bowl ads, and now we’re seeing it as a common practice for tentpole releases. Why not drag out the hype a couple more days with this sort of promotion? The latest is for Snow White and the Huntsman. Check it out.
