mirror mirror Hits tHeatres marcH 30 tH Fresh snow In only her fourth feature film, newcomer Lily Collins takes on the iconic role of fairy tale heroine Snow White for Mirror Mirror. So how did she get the role? Well, those eyebrows didn’t hurt n By IngrId randoja 26 | Cineplex Magazine | MARch 2012
Armie Hammer as Prince Alcott LEFT: Snow White (Lily Collins) with her dwarf pals prince leads his horse through a foggy, snow-covered forest lined with silver birch trees. Except it isn’t really a prince, it’s actor Armie Hammer, the fog is actually a mixture of compressed mineral oil and C02, the snow isn’t snow but three different types of road salt mixed together, and the birch trees are, in fact, dead birch logs standing on their ends to resemble live trees. The horse, however, is real. We are on the stunning Montreal set of Mirror Mirror, also known as “one of those Snow White movies.” Filmed under the watchful eye of director Tarsem Singh (Immortals), Mirror Mirror arrives in theatres a little more than two months before the year’s other Snow White pic, Snow White and the Huntsman. What’s the difference between the two films? Snow White and the Huntsman is the edgier, darker tale that stars Kristen Stewart as the avenging Snow White, while Mirror Mirror is the comedic, family-friendly version starring up-and-comer Lily Collins as the naive princess who goes toe-to-toe with her evil queen stepmother (Julia Roberts) and falls for the handsome prince (Hammer). The daughter of Genesis drummer and successful solo artist Phil Collins, the 22-year-old Collins has a fresh-faced beauty perfectly suited to a fairy tale princess. Oh, and a pair of dark, thick eyebrows that director Singh says caught his attention immediately and clinched her casting. “It’s a compliment,” says Collins. “He’s a very visual director so he knew exactly what he wanted Snow to look like, and apparently he responded well to my eyebrows. [Laughs.]” Collins is seated in front of another of the film’s amazing sets — the dwarfs’ home, which is located inside a huge tree. Poke around and ConTInUEd MARch 2012 | Cineplex Magazine | 27
