Written by . Published: August 02 2014
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.
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
Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson. Stewart is not expected to
return as Snow White.
Snow White and the Huntsman 2 is slated to hit cinemas in April,
2016.
