Universal Pictures Film 'Snow White and the Huntsman' Auditions Now in High Gear

With news of Kristen Stewart being Universal Pictures favorite to play Snow White opposite Viggo Mortensen as Eric the Huntsman, things are getting very interesting in the casting offices at the studio. Charlize Theron has signed on to play The Evil Queen, and auditions for the remaining co-starring and supporting roles will begin very soon.

Universal is moving full steam ahead on the project, possibly to give production a head start on Disney's kung-foo infused version titled "Snow and The Seven," which is in active development. Primetime Emmy nominated Joe Roth and Palak Patel, who currently runs Roth's company Roth Films, will produce from an adapted screenplay by Evan Daugherty.

Originally, Universal Pictures execs stated that they were leaning towards a new face for the role of Snow White, but have obviously decided to go with a proven box-office powerhouse the likes of Kristen Stewart. The remaining co-starring, supporting, and day player roles are up for grabs and unknown talent could be considered.

Details on how talent can submit to be considered for acting roles or register to work as an extra can be found on the following casting post:
