‘The Walking Dead’ Creator Frank Darabont will Direct ‘Snow White and the Huntsman’ Prequel
The Walking Dead creator Frank Darabont has been tapped to direct the Snow White and the Huntsman prequel.
The film will see the return of Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron. Both are set to reprise their roles as The Huntsman and villainous Ravenna, respectively.
According to Universal, the prequel expands to reveal how the fates of two characters, The Huntsman Eric and Ravenna, intersected before they met Snow White.
Darabont replaces Rupert Sanders who directed the first film, but grabbed headlines when he was caught kissing the movie’s leading lady, Kristen Stewart, in a Los Angeles car park after the shoot had wrapped. The fling ended his marriage and her romance with Twilightco-star Robert Pattinson. Stewart is not expected to return as Snow White.
Darabont is responsible for developing hit AMC series The Walking Dead before being released from the show in 2011.
Snow White and the Huntsman 2 is slated to hit cinemas on April 22, 2016.
