SWATH Update: Shooting begins August 15, Kristen's Excitement, Collider's Top 5

examiner SWATH Fansite This weekend, Kristen Stewart was seen landing in London, England to continue pre-production work on Snow White And The Huntsman, and yesterday, producer Palak Patel confirmed the start date for principle photography on the picture: August 15th.

Patel also confirmed the castmembers chosen for each of the eight dwarves from the film (during Comic-Con, it was revealed that there would be eight dwarves and that one of them would perish).

The 8 dwarfs are: Ian McShane, Ray Winstone, Bob Hoskins, Nick Frost, Eddie Marsan, Toby Jones, Johnny Harris, and Brian Gleeson.

Snow White And The Huntsman's release date is set for June 1, 2012.

SWATH production is expected to take around three months, just in time for Kristen to begin promotional work for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1, which hits theaters on November 18th.

The first character stills from the film, debuted at Comic-Con during the SWATH panel, are attached - as well as a video of the full Comic-Con panel - in the sidebar.

3. First Look at Universal’s SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN



collider.com Granted, there are enough Snow White projects currently circulating Hollywood that over-saturation is less a possibility and more an inevitability. Nevertheless, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t at least a little intrigued by the grittiness and slightly darker tone that director Rupert Sanders’ Snow White and the Huntsman looks to embody. Click here to check out the first look at the film along with Adam’s recap of its Comic-Con panel.

Foxallaccess (click on the source to listen to the audio clip) In between the two “Breaking Dawn” movies, you’ll see Kristen Stewart starring as the title character in “Snow White and the Huntsman.” (Kristen, of course, will be Snow White, not the Huntsman.) When you think of Snow White, it’s not exactly the edgy kind of character you associate with Kristen these days… or is it?

She’s talking about director Rupert Sanders there… Kristen will be starring alongside Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron in the movie, which opens in theaters everywhere next June 1st.
