I was already sold on the movie, but I'm even more sold now that Emily Blunt is involved

Perhaps Darabont dropped out when the studio decided to completely change the focus of the story, going with a completely different period of time. That made the script he worked on completely null - I wouldn't be happy with that, either.

I don't know how well the prequel would've done, but I'm equally unsure about a sequel. Besides being curious over what reason they'll give for Snow White's absence (she's on vacation? She married the prince as a rebound after realizing Eric was emotionally unavailable and they are away on their honeymoon?

), having the Huntsman on a quest while an evil woman wants him dead feels very very similar to the plot of the first movie.
Oh well, we'll see. I was going to watch the second for Chris alone and not for the storylines, anyway.

She's on vacation!!! She married the Prince!

Good questions! I wonder too how they are going to handle this question.
I do not want Kristen in this movie-I love the girl but this would not be good for
her anyway. Too much baggage the media won't let go of. But this is why the
PREQUEL made sense to me. If it's a sequel, it would make more sense to have Snow White in the movie and recast her. But, there again, they're losing the chemistry I and others saw between Chris and Kristen. idk-Universal seems bound and determined to make this one, so...it's their money. I wish all involved luck. They're gonna need it. 'Cause I really don't think Universal has thought this through or knows what the crap they're doing.
I also agree that Emily Blunt is awesome in everything she does!

I am not a fan of recasts, so perhaps it's better if they move away with a fresh angle, I don't know. Personally I wasn't that sold on the romance in the first movie, so perhaps focusing more on the action and the characters' backstories could give it some extra spark.

I agree that I don't see the studio really knowing what they are doing with this one. The first instalment wasn't even successful enough to justify a continuation of the series according to many cinema experts, and the fairytale mania seems to have cooled down.

Fingers crossed things go for the best, mostly for the sake of the cast.

At least they were quick in picking a new director:

Cedric Nicolas-Troyan Set To Direct The Huntsman | Movie News | Empire

You get one job wrangling swords and fantastical elements, you apparently get them all. At least, that seems to be the case for VFX expert-turned-director Cedric Nicolas-Troyan, who is following winning the gig making the Highlander reboot with the big chair on The Huntsman.

The Snow White And The Huntsman sequel hit the news a couple of days ago when it emerged that Frank Darabont, who had been hired to rewrite the script and direct, had bailed citing creative differences. That meant the film needed a director, and Universal have given Nicolas-Troyan the job despite his lack of previous shot-calling work. He does have a big advantage over other candidates though – he worked as visual effects supervisor on the first film.

Plot details on The Huntsman remain sketchy and tough to pin down – previous stories pointed to Chris Hemsworth’s hero on a quest to find the stolen magic mirror and going up against both Charlize Theron’s Ravenna and her evil snow queen sister, potentially to be played by Emily Blunt. Variety’s report on the new director mentions something about exploring how the Huntsman first met Ravenna, before Snow White (Kristen Stewart, who isn’t likely to return for this one) entered the story. Perhaps it will manage both. Whatever happens, the movie needs to be ready for an April 22, 2016 release.

i'm not a fan of recast either..

**HemsyFanatic811** · 01-22-2015, 08:20 PM

I'm afraid no matter what they do, it's gonna be weird.

I did love the character of the Huntsman and Chris did an
excellent job with it but...once again, there are script problems and
a new director who doesn't really have any experience at all.

The first movie cost 170 million. It made about 400 million. It
probably did make money with dvd sales and some merchandising.
They made jewelry, clothing, and a calendar that I know of. Anyway,
the studio was actually surprised it made that much money. Everybody,
but me, fainted when it made 56 million opening weekend.

There really
wasn't much promo, until the last min. when Universal did that 3-day press tour
and had the premiere in London. There was no premiere scheduled for the US
until the last minute again and they called it a "screening"

I honestly think Universal thought this movie
would tank. But, a funny thing happened. People actually liked it and some, like
me, loved it!

Don't know if I said this before, but the music in the first one was just
beautiful! And the main theme from Florence and the Machine was a great
song and perfect for this movie! The soundtrack should have been nominated
for an Oscar too!

sequals are never the same as the originals.. but recasting someone is more stranger. i'm just glad they didn't recast our Huntsman

'Snow White and the Huntsman' prequel will have fewer dwarves

Forget seven—or eight—dwarves. The follow-up film to Snow White and the Huntsman, will reportedly only have two.

According to Deadline, The Huntsman will only feature two dwarves—the original movie featured eight. Nick Frost, Toby Jones, and Eddie Marsan, all of whom played dwarves in the first film, will not be returning to their roles, Deadline reported. Snow White and the Huntsman was criticized for not casting little people in the film, and instead digitally altering average-height actors.

The new film is set to star Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth in their roles from the first film, a prequel about their relationship before Snow White entered the picture. Earlier this month it was revealed that Frank Darabont will no longer be directing the film, which is due for release in 2016.

Universal did not immediately respond to EW‘s request for comment.

dp sorry

**HemsyFanatic811** · 01-28-2015, 07:51 PM

hmmm-so, now it's a PREQUEL again?

I can't keep up with this merry-go-round!

zacsbabyboo · 01-29-2015, 10:00 PM

^ i think it always was planned as a prequel

**HemsyFanatic811** · 02-01-2015, 09:19 PM

I'm so confused! But I stay that way!

In order to get this out in theaters
by April 2016, they're gonna have to start filming by March/April
of this year! So, we should hear more very soon or see Chris
on-set. I wonder if Charlize or Chris have said anything recently
about this? Anybody know?

zacsbabyboo · 02-02-2015, 09:18 PM

i haven't heard anything i don't think..

we need new interviews of them saying something.

**JDM's❤︎Sweetheart** · 02-13-2015, 06:54 PM

Is their anywhere online I could watch this?

**love on the brain** · 02-13-2015, 08:58 PM

I'm sure you can get a torrent, but you prefer a stream?
