Poll: New Snow White movie

[Hero in a half shell]

That and that they've changed the story so it's now primarily a romance between Snow White and the Huntsman. (who was otherwise a completely unimportant character in the traditional Snow White story, in fact in most renditions he was killed by the queen at the end of the opening scenes.)

Can you point to anything specific that hints at a romance between the Huntsman and Snow White? The only person she's shown kissing in the trailer is clearly not Chris Hemsworth (The Huntsman), and is presumably Prince Charming.

They turned the Huntsman character into a less two-dimensional character, that's it. He's no longer a (dis)obedient kill machine. Any romance you see between the Huntsman and Snow White from this trailer is thoroughly in your own head, conjured from your heavy biases.

Heavy biases? Steady on, I didn't say the film would be crap, (In fact I think it looks pretty good) I was just saying that casting the actress that played Bella Swan as the lead heroine in a romantic fairytale movie gives reasonable grounds to say that the marketers are trying to draw in the Twilight audience.

Ok, I watched the trailer again and I admit that there are no romantic implications between the two, but I can't find any evidence of the prince either (apart from the 1 second kissing scene where we see his lips and nose.) Apart from that there was no reason to believe he existed in this version. And the dwarves are relegated to about 2 seconds screentime in the trailer (1:11-1:13ish)

Since they massively changed the plot, bringing in big battles and making Snow White a Warrior Chosen One is it really so biased of me to presume that the bloke mentioned in the title of the film and given 90% of the trailer screentime was the love interest? rather than the guy who doesn't actually appear in the film title and is curiously absent from the trailer.

Kristen Stewart is supposed to be more beautiful that Charlize Theron?!

HA! oh boy, that movie's already funnier than Ben Stiller's recent top comedy.

Seriously, another movie concept that has NO reason for existence whatsoever...
especially not as a trilogy.

Wow, the Disney nostalgia is running thick in here.

Disney didn't invent Snow White, guys - that's a classic fairytale from oral tradition, as collected by the Grimm Brothers.

OT: I loved Red Riding-hood. Awesome movie (and I can think Movie Bob for recommending it). This looks to be in the same vein - looking forward to it.

Also, here's hoping someone picks up Cinderella and uses Finette Cendron [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finette_Cendron] as the basis. That's the classic version of Cinderella where she fights ogres and is an absolute bad-ass (not to be confused with the Perrault version which was the basis of Disney's Cinderella).

Yes, it is. Your insistence that because they got an actress from a romance based movie, that this movie will be a romance based movie, is biased. Unless you commonly use inductive reasoning, poor inductive reasoning I might add. I like to think that isn't the case, and something about this movie is causing you to see the opinion you made before you watched the trailer (confirmation bias).

I might add the prince barely features in the original versions, too. The prince is the happy ending. Even if everyone knows the ending, it'd be bizarre to focus most of the trailer on the third act.

But Snow White is in itself a romantic movie, the whole plotline of the poisoned apple, being put to sleep and only being awoken by true loves kiss, (although there is a lot more to the story) is intrinsic to most tellings of the story. To think that they would be keeping that particular angle on the story isn't bias, and in fact was a correct assumption, I only got the focus of the love interest wrong. (thinking it was the huntsman and not the prince)

I'm sorry, but I feel like you've been unfairly insulting me a lot here, I watched through the trailer once and scanned the description of the film before writing that first post, where I made the simple mistake of thinking that one of the many changes they had made to the traditional storyline would be making the huntsman Snow White's love interest instead of the prince (It's not like other fairytale movies haven't played with this idea before)
There's no confirmation bias, or poor inductive reasoning, it was a simple mistake from a single viewing of a movie trailer.

What's insulting about being wrong? People are wrong all the time. Numerous other people have come to the same false conclusion you have in this thread, and I've pointed it out to them as well.

You're free to have your opinions as to why you jumped to the conclusions you did, and I'm free to have mine.

There's nothing insulting about being told you're wrong, it's just that while you were saying that, you got a bit heavy on the personal insults, telling me it was my own heavy biases conjured in my head, that was leading me to believe that, as if I was mad in the head, and then telling me I had poor inductive reasoning (which I won't dispute, but being told that because of a mistake I made watching a movie trailer is a bit much)
I dunno, it just rubbed me up the wrong way and hurt my feelings, making it feel like you were personally insulting me and not just correcting me.
