Relativity's Snow White Movie to Be Called 'Mirror Mirror'

Relativity Media announced on Friday that the title for its upcoming reimagining of the classic Snow White fairy tale will be Mirror Mirror. The film, starring Lily Collins, Armie Hammer, Julia Roberts and Nathan Lane, is slated for a March 16, 2012 release. Directed by Tarsem Singh, the feature centers on an exiled princess who enlists the help of seven resourceful rebels to win back her birthright.

Relativity'sMirroris one of two Snow White movies that have been racing toward the screen. Universal Pictures is readyingSnow White and the Huntsman, starringKristen Stewartas the titular heroine,Chris Hemsworthas the hunstman andCharlize Theronas the evil queen.Rupert Sandersis directing. Originally, Universal's movie was set for release in December, 2012. But after the Relativity Snow White movie then claimed June 29 for its bow, Universal jumped ahead of it by shifting its movie to June 1. Relativity then countered by moving its movie even further ahead to March 16. Although Relativity'sMirrorwill hit theaters before Universal'sSnow White, both companies are now maintaining that the two films are different enough that they are not targetting identical audiences. Relativity'sMirroris being billed as the more family friendly of the two, while Universal'sSnow Whitelooks more like an adventure tale with Snow as an armor-clad woman warrior.
