With "The Twilight Saga" taking its final box-office bite in 2012 (we know…we're not ready yet either), all eyes are on series star Kristen Stewart. How will her career progress in a post-Forks world? Judging from the footage we've seen of "Snow White and the Huntsman," KStew isn't going to have any problem forging an excellent future—one of many reasons this fantasy flick scores the No. 3 spot on our list of 2012's most-anticipated movies.
We all know the story of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," but this movie puts a whole new spin on the traditional fairy tale. As we saw in the first trailer for the film, Kristen stars as a fierce warrior version of Snow. She's a tomboy fighter (not some primped princess) trained to rebel against the Evil Queen, who ordered her dead at the hands of the titular Huntsman, played by the smokin' hot Chris Hemsworth.
Charlize Theron, who plays the deliciously evil Queen, does wicked well (as we know from "Young Adult"), and we can't wait to see this whole thing come to fruition. The rich, dark colors and atmospheric music made for a tantalizing trailer—one of our favorites of the year, to be honest.
And before you say something, yes—there's another Snow White movie in the works ("Mirror Mirror" starring Lily Collins and Julia Roberts). But while "Mirror Mirror" goes for the comedy aspect of the story, "Huntsman" appears to be all drama. That means a fierce, brooding heroine—just the way we like our KStew.
"Snow White and the Huntsman" gallops into theaters June 1, 2012.
