British director Rupert Sanders has made the jump from television commercials and shorts to feature films. And what a jump! Snow White And The Huntsman, his first feature film, has swiftly become one of 2012s must-see flicks – grossing $270 million at the box in mere weeks. A true labour of love, Rupert is unsurprisingly thrilled with the reception.
With an feel eerily reminiscent of Tim Burton's Batman Returns and Alice In Wonderland, Snow White And The Huntsman retells a tale we're all too acquainted with. Let's not forget that once upon a time, these stories were told to scare children. And the tale of a poisoned apple, a malevolent evil queen (Academy Award-winner Charlize Theron) and tortured huntsman (Australia's Chris Hemsworth) seems just the right fit for a twisted fantasy epic on the big screen.
