From the beautifully paced editing, and perfect choice of music, to the narrative concept, dialogue and visuals/special effects; the Snow White And The Huntsman (2012) trailer provides just enough detail to make you aware that this is a wonderfully different retelling.

The decision to make Charlize Theron the key focus of the trailer is just right. This isn’t a film aimed at the traditional young Disney audience. Hence the absence of elements that quite frankly I’m glad are nowhere to be found. Musical numbers being just one of them.

This tantalisingly dark 1-minute 54-second trailer arrests the senses and refuses to let go until the very last second. What a wonderful marriage of audio-visual delight delivered to perfection.

For many, Kristen Stuart is the big draw, which is unsurprising due to the success of The Twilight Saga. For me though, without question, it’s Theron.

The tone and delivery of Theron’s performance is such a thrill to behold, that to date, I’ve watched the trailer countless times.

The Snow White & The Huntsman trailer has a place in a compilation of my favourite film trailers of 2012. It also makes it on my list of favourite Charlize Theron performances; Monster (2003) being one other.

Happy Snow White And The Huntsman 🙂
