Mirror, Mirror on the wall, there’s a snow white adaptation after all! Julia Roberts stars as the evil queen in this magical version of the Disney classic, which puts a comical spin on the beloved tale.
The trailer starts with the typical voiceover about a ‘beautiful princess’ with ‘skin as white as snow and hair as black as night’, which is interrupted by Roberts saying, ‘la, la, la, her hair isn’t black it’s raven, she’s 18-years-old and her skin has never seen the sun, so of course it’s good!’
Director, Tarsem Singh’s main spin on the tale is that the Evil Queen is struggling for money so needs the Prince to marry her. This of course means that Snow White – played by Phil Collins’ daughter Lily – has to be destroyed.
Due to be released around the same time as dark and evil Snow White and the Huntsman – another adaptation of the classic, starring Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron – Mirror Mirror looks set to be the more light-hearted, family orientated option!
