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
Between the abysmal Mirror, Mirror and the upcoming Bella and Thor Battle Aileen Wuornos (you make know it as Snow White and the Huntsman) it seems remixing and revising the classic Snow White premise is the hot new trend in Hollywood—as long as it’s relatively cheap that is, as a post-John Carter Disney has announced they’ve halted development on their own Saoirse Ronan-starring Snow White revision.
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.
It seems like it was so long ago when we saw the very first trailer for Snow White and the Huntsman. Since then, the excitement has been building–there’s just something about Rupert Sanders‘ live-action version of the Snow White tale that feels right. And now, Universal has released a new official clip and poster for the film. Check those out after the jump.
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?
The summer season is a week away at this point, so it’s time to start making predictions about the biggest movies of the summer. These predictions are always going to be a just little off, but that’s the fun of making wildly inaccurate guesses months before we’ve even seen a film – sometimes you’re right. So here are the top ten films that are going to be trying to make more than $200 Million when they hit.

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.
As we bid farewell to 2011, it’s time for us to look ahead and get excited about the movies that 2012 will bring. The Golden Globes and Oscars haven’t named their favorites yet, but we’re not waiting around for that. We are excited about the future. There are some great movies to look forward to in 2012 – sequels, re-releases, film adaptations, and even a Pixar movie. Distinguished directors like Judd Apatow and Quentin Taratino both have movies coming out next year, so we’re excited for that too. Below is a list of what we think are some of the most anticipated movies of 2012.
