When we first heard Hollywood was making a movie about the relationship between Snow White and the Huntsman, who in the original story is ordered by the evil Queen to take the maiden into the woods and kill her, only to later help her flee, we were a tad lukewarm to the news.

That was until a couple of months ago when they announced the cast would feature seven dwarfs, all named after Roman emperors, featuring Nick Frost, Ian McShane, Eddie Izzard, Toby Jones, Eddie Marsan, Stephen Graham and Ray ‘facking‘ Winstone and would be a dark and twisted re-imagining of the original story, where the Huntsman swears allegiance to Snow White to protect her and mentor her in a quest to vanquish the evil Queen.

Then we watched the trailer below and it’s looking like this movie could be a sleeper hit in the making, (apparently there are two more planned to complete trilogy), especially if, according to the trailer and our finely tuned bat-like ears, Chris Helmsworth has a Scottish accent only Mel Gibson would be proud of.
