I'm loving the fairly tale adaptation trend that's happening. I'm a huge fairy tale buff and I love the retellings for adults that tap into the underlying darkness in the stories as well. Provided they're done well (always a big "if"!) I think there's plenty of room for more than one adaptation of a particular story.

Initial thoughts:

-I don't see Kristen Stewart as a Snow White type. Maybe she'll surprise me but as of now I can think of several actresses who I think are more appropriate.

-I also think the visual world that the film creates is very important to it being sucessful. While I wasn't a fan of the recent Red Riding Hood, I did like the "look":

(ace showbiz)

-I'd love for something to take inspirtation from a classic fairy tale and go really dark a la Hard Candy , or The Company of Wolves!
