You may or may not have heard but for a while now there has been in the works a sequel of sorts being made of the infamous "Snow White and The Huntsman" which starred Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron and a whole load of CGI dwarves some of which were none other than Nick Frost (shrunken of course), Ray Winston (again shrunken), Bob Hoskins, Ian McShane/ or you might recognise him as Lovejoy,- I'm sorry I just couldn't resist,-Eddie Marsan, Toby Jones, Johnny Harris and Brian Gleeson all shrunken down to dwarf size, as well as Sam Clafflin who's character William pretends to be part of the group sent by Ravenna (Charlize Theron's character) to kill Snow White after she escapes the castle and runs through the dark forest in a bid to get away from Ravenna who killed Snow White's father and basically does a "Mummy" style thing and sucks the beauty and youth out of people in order to stay young forever, and in order for the spell that her mother put on her when she was younger to be complete she must have Snow White's heart...as it says in the movie "...by pure blood it is undone..."
This film though you'll probably remember more so because during the filming of this the director whilst still married had an affair with Kristen Stewart.
And also in my opinion Charlize Theron played a really good evil queen Ravenna a bit too well if you ask me.
Anyhew... yesterday Empire Magazine and IMDb.com put up the new trailer for this prequel called "The Huntsman: Winter's War", here is the link to it on IMDb.com's website:
http://www.imdb.com/?ref_=nv_home
As you can see from this trailer for this prequel...Emily Blunt who plays Freya Revenna's sister looks to be just as badass but with a difference, that difference being she becomes the Ice Queen and hides herself away in a wintry palace and gathers herself an army of warriors that have been trained in combat from childhood to become hardened fighters that love combat more than anything else...and this of course was all because her sister Ravenna was jealous of how Freya's baby would grow up to be "...the fairest in the land..." and also because she didn't listen to the mirror about not harming the child as if she did it would make her sister even more powerful than she had ever known.
But one thing this movie nor the new movie trailer for this film seems to have explained is where is Ravenna's brother from the first movie or has the filmmaker's just breezed over this and started this story all over again as if the storyline from the first film never happened?
But this does seem odd to me as Empire Magazine's website says that not only is this a prequel of sorts with it being set before Ravenna's run in with Snow White as it shows how she betrayed her sister, but it also shows events after Ravenna's run in with Snow White as Empire Magazine's website says that "...which sees Ravenna restored after her clash with Snow and Eric using the Magic Mirror and all manor of trouble for the residents of The Enchanted Wood..."
Which by the looks of things ends with a big ol' fight between both sisters which I imagine could go on for a while as one turns everything into ice and the other has been around for a very long time given the amount of youth and beauty she has stolen from people through the ages.
It also looks like to me both the new and the old stories have been incorporated for this new film with there also being a few new faces added to the cast list in this film with the addition of Jessica Chastain among just some of the new additions in this film.
This time around Cedric Nicolas-Troyan has directed this film and it will be released on April 8th 2016 in the UK.
