Mirror Mirror
The relatively unknown Lily Collins (daughter of singer Phil Collins) plays a Snow White with girl power in "Mirror Mirror". Based on the trailer, Julia Roberts steals the show as the petulant Evil Queen. It is definitely a family movie, containing a bit of action, romance and comedy to ensure it appeals to a broad audience. My guess is that it will prove to be an entertaining, but forgettable movie to anyone other than diehard Julia Roberts fans.
Snow White and the Huntsman
The more maturely-themed "Snow White and the Huntsman" appears to be a re-imagining of the classic fairytale as a war movie. Twilight fan favourite Kristen Stewart plays Snow White, opposite Charlize Theron, who plays the chillingly ruthless Queen Ravenna.
Even if the movie turns out to be flawed, its beautiful imagery has me sold. I will be eagerly awaiting its summer release.
The Order of the Seven
Disney's "The Order of the Seven" is another live-action retelling of Snow White, but heads in a much different direction than any other version. Set in 19th-century China, seven warriors assist an English woman who goes to Hong Kong to attend her father's funeral, only to find out her step-mother is plotting her murder.
Not much more information is currently available, but based on what I've heard so far, I'd much rather watch Disney's 1937 animated film, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves".
