The Huntsman Winter's War (a 'Snow White and the Huntsman' sequel)

Universal has just debuted posters for their sequel to 2012's Snow White and the Huntsman, which was written by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles's Evan Daughtery. The project was originally announced as a prequel/spin-off, but now it has been confirmed that this movie will indeed be a sequel. Kristen Stewart will not be returning as Snow White though and that does not bother me at all.

Quote:

The fantasy world of Snow White and the Huntsman expands with the new sequel, which reveals how the fates of The Huntsman Eric and Queen Ravenna are deeply and dangerously intertwined.

Long before the evil Queen Ravenna (Theron) was thought vanquished by Snow White’s blade, she watched silently as her sister, Freya (Blunt), suffered a heartbreaking betrayal and fled their kingdom. With Freya’s ability to freeze any enemy, the young ice queen has spent decades in a remote wintry palace raising a legion of deadly huntsmen—including Eric (Hemsworth) and warrior Sara (Chastain)—only to find that her prized two defied her one demand: Forever harden your hearts to love.

When Freya learns of her sister’s demise, she summons her remaining soldiers to bring the Magic Mirror home to the only sorceress left who can harness its power. But once she discovers Ravenna can be resurrected from its golden depths, the wicked sisters threaten this enchanted land with twice the darkest force it’s ever seen. Now, their amassing army shall prove undefeatable…unless the banished huntsmen who broke their queen’s cardinal rule can fight their way back to one another.

Yeah I think that's her in the third poster and Elsa in the last one. Plus, the teaser trailer also debuted.

No Kristen Stewart plus three amazing actresses?

I'm in.

Me too. Loved the last one.

Really? Was it any good?

As soon as I heard KS from Twilight was starring, I stopped paying attention to anything about the first film. I've heard she's not retaining her role as Snow White because she slept with the married director or producer? Something like that?

Something like that.

I certainly didn't love the first one but I didn't hate it either, and was mostly entertained. I think it was a date movie or something.

I don't know about any of that, and I only ever saw the first Twilgiht film (it's to my great shame I admit seeing ANY of them) but she was at least decent in SWatH. It's certainly a much darker and more interesting take on the Snow White story, and the Queen was probably the best part, though Hemsworth made a good down-in-the-dumps drunk warrior. Basicalyl, I liked it for the very artistic and moody feel, the dramatic story, and- well, let's just say that Stewart's acting improved greatly over Tiwlight. Then again, it might have just been because she had a better script to work with. I TRIED reading the book that movie was based on, and only got two chapters in before putting it down in disgust. Sparkly vampires, indeed.... :trolleye:

A good sequel/spinoff can change that, though... so change it, Huntsman! :tlol:

A brand new trailer has been released.

Universal has just released a new featurette.

I went to see the movie today. It was not the worst thing I've seen in theaters, but it really wasn't all that great. I found the story to be very predictable and not very interesting. Not only did Emily Blunt's character feel like an evil Elsa from Frozen, but Jessica Chastain's character felt like a rip-off of Merida from Brave but with a love interest. The main highlight of the trip to the theater for me was that a got to get candy from a Sweet Amanda's machine for the first time.

I saw it yesterday. It wasn't as good as the first one, and there are a few minor inconsistencies in the continuity from the first, but it had a good story and the relationships and motivations of the charaters were interesting. I liked it though there should have been some continuity editing done on it.
