Variety.comRelativity Media is bumping up the release date of Tarsem Singh's untitled Snow White pic to March 16, 2012. Pic was original skedded to open June 29, 2012, and the move, announced Tuesday afternoon, puts the fairy-tale adaptation more than two months ahead of Universal's rival project, "Snow White and the Huntsman," which is slated for release on June 1, 2012.
"Huntsman" is now set to square off against Relativity's adaptation of Nicholas Sparks' bestselling novel "Safe Haven," for which the studio just assigned a release date.
Pic is a gripping love story that follows a young woman who escapes her past and moves to a small North Carolina town where she falls for a loving widowed father who heals her heart and helps her escape the danger that threatens her.
Good point from Entertainment Weekly re SWATH vs. TBG SW - But, still, it all depends on the project. Should one of the Snow White parties create an excellent film with good word-of-mouth attached, we’re more likely to be willing to wait for a later release date. It’s about quality, not… when-ity. via KStewAngel
Variety-Showbllitz Is this "checkmate" in the Snow White release-date chessgame? Might be. One week ago, Universal moved its "Snow White and the Huntsman" project to June 1, leapfrogging it ahead Relativity Media's version. Then on Tuesday, Relativity countered, bumping its untitled Snow White pic from June 29 to March 16. There's virtually no chance Universal will be able to squeeze ahead of that schedule -- "Huntsman" doesn't get shooting until August, and a seven- to nine-month turnaround is virtually impossible these days, given the demands on the visual effects houses needed for post-production work. And with Chris Hemsworth -- who's committed to "Marvel's The Avengers" all summer -- just signed to "Huntsman," there's no way to move up the production schedule. Even Relativity is setting itself up for a squeeze: With shooting starting next month, they'll have less than 10 months to go from lens to screen. Will Relativity be able to pull that off? If not, and they back down, things could get interesting again. But if they stick with this plan, Universal will have to be content with its second-place prize.
