Mirror Mirror’s decent critical reception means the gauntlet has been thrown down and Rupert Sanders’ Snow White and the Huntsman has a strong act to follow.

From what we’ve seen so far though this is a very different take on Snow White, one feels the words ‘dark’ and ‘gritty’ being reached for and the trailers and these new images suggest a nicely brutal tale they are telling; this is not your Fariy Godmother’s Snow White.

The ever excellent Lebanese Cinema Movie Guide had these new images first and there are a few more in their gallery so give them a click why don’t you?

A synopsis sir? Why of course,

In the epic action-adventure Snow White and the Huntsman, Kristen Stewart (Twilight) plays the only person in the land fairer than the evil queen (Oscar® winner Charlize Theron) who is out to destroy her. But what the wicked ruler never imagined is that the young woman threatening her reign has been training in the art of war with a huntsman (Chris Hemsworth, Thor) who was dispatched to kill her. Sam Claflin (Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides) joins the cast as the prince long enchanted by Snow White’s beauty and power.
