Sep 23, (THAINDIAN NEWS) ‘Black Swan’ star Natalie Portman is in talks to play the legendary character of Snow White in an upcoming 3D version of the classic tale. The producer Brett Ratner revealed that some elements of the original 500 year old story will be left out from the script to make the movie more edgier. According to some insiders Natalie Portman’s role will not be as innocent as the Snow White in the original story and the characters of the dwarfs will also have some darker shades.
Mellisa Wallack, who is writing the script of film, will replace some of the facts from the original story where the dwarfs were all miners. In the upcoming 3D version of the story the dwarfs will be shown as robbers. The producer explained that the latest version of the film will not only have more comedy but also be slightly more hard hitting than the original folk tale. He also said that among some of the things retained from the 500 year old story there is a dragon that will be seen in the 3D version. Some of the reports suggest that Natalie Portman’s role will also be raunchier in comparison to the image of Snow White that fans all over the world.
Though no official announcement about the film has been made there are reports that suggest that French director Jean Pierre Jeunet has shown interest in the project. It is unlikely that Natalie Portman will be starting the shooting of the film quickly as she has around 6 projects lined up which includes ‘Zombies’ and the horror version of ‘Pride and Prejudice’.
