14 DAY TRIAL // British actor Tom Hardy, whom fans saw last in this summer’s “Inception” blockbuster, is officially the hottest commodity in Hollywood right now: his name has just been thrown in the mix with that of Angelina Jolie.
Disney movies may be a hit with audiences of all ages, but Disney movies adapted into live action films actually have more potential of being money-makers.
Add into the mix Angelina Jolie’s name, officially the highest grossing women in Hollywood right now, and that of Tom Hardy, and we might have a huge hit coming our way, ScreenCrave reports.
“Unlike the animated Disney film that we’re so used to seeing, this one will have a twist! It’s called Snow White and The Huntsman and ‘it’ boy Tom Hardy is up for the role of ‘The Huntsman’ while Angelina Jolie is being courted to play the villainess,” the movie-oriented e-zine says.
While this is the second time this year Jolie is rumored to appear in a remake of a classic Disney story (the first was “Sleeping Beauty”), this time, the reinvented “Snow White” is almost a sure thing.
Jolie would play Queen Ravenna, word in the blogosphere has it.
“Snow White and the Huntsman will be a new take on the classic tale, which will be directed by Rupert Sanders and produced by Joe Roth from a screenplay written by Evan Daugherty,” ScreenCrave says.
“The project takes a revisionist buddy movie spin on the tale, seeing the titular huntsman being hired by the evil queen to track down her runaway stepdaughter, the fairest in all the land. When he realizes that the queen intends to kill Snow White, he helps her escape, and the pair go on the run,” the same e-zine says of the synopsis.
Jolie has already been approached with an offer and, while there’s no word yet on whether she plans to accept it, her schedule would certainly allow her to shoot it in 2011.
Tom, on the other hand, is very close to signing on the dotted line, the aforementioned e-zine notes: if he takes the offer, he will probably start working on the film in between “This Means War” (now shooting) and “Batman 3” (to which he’s rumored to be attached).
