After months in nameless limbo, Tarsem Singh's Snow White movie finally has a name.

And it's? Mirror Mirror. Well, at least it's a little more distinctive than Untitled Snow White Project, which it will need to be as it's going head to head with Kristen Stewart vehicle Snow White And The Huntsman.

For a handy reminder, this version stars Lily Collins as the titular pale-skinned beauty, with Julia Roberts as the Evil Queen. Armie Hammer is the dashing prince in this one.

Huntsman stars Stewart, with Thor's Chris Hemsworth playing the burly, axe-wielding hunter, and Charlize Theron will be practising her best vain cackle as the queen.

The new title does fit with Tarsem's fantastical, brightly-hued take on the material, which is in stark contrast to its gritty, battle-armoured rival.

Sean Bean is the King in Tarsem Singh's Snow White [16th July 2011 04:04:43]

Sean Bean is in final negotiations to join Tarsem Singh's as-yet untitled Snow White movie, according to Heat Vision.

The actor, and all-round top northern geezer, will play Snow White's father, the king, in one of many competing adaptations of the fairytale story.

To clear up any confusion, this one stars Lily Collins (The Blind Side) as the eponymous beauty and Julia Roberts as the Evil Queen. Armie Hammer is also onboard as the handsome, and no doubt charming, Prince Andrew (no, not that one).

The project's closest rival is Snow White And The Huntsman, which stars Kristen Stewart and Chris Hemsworth in the title roles, and boasts Charlize Theron as the wicked sorceress. Huntsman has recently added Nick Frost to its impressive collection of dwarves.

Bean should at least bring gravitas to Tarsem Singh's movie, which is guaranteed to be hugely stylish if it's anything like his previous output.

Having starred in The Lord Of The Rings and, more recently, HBO's Game Of Thrones, Bean is pretty experienced in this fantasy lark.

Singh's Snow White is expected to open in March 2012, ahead of Snow White And The Huntsman, which is due in June that year. Source: www.totalfilm.com
