Jessica Chastain to Star in THE HUNTSMAN

Jessica Chastain ("Zero Dark Thirty") has signed on to star in "The Huntsman" opposite Chris Hemsworth. The film is a spinoff/prequel of "Snow White and the Huntsman" and will be directed by VFX supervisor and second unit director Cedric Nicolas-Troyan, who replaced Frank Darabont ("Shawshank Redemption"). Darabont spent quite a lot of time on the film's script but dropped out of the director's chair due to "creative differences". The story will take place before the events of Snow White and will focus on the Huntsman and Ravenna (Charlize Theron). Emily Blunt is also set to star as Ravenna's sister, the prequel's villain. "The Huntsman" will be released on April 22, 2016.
