By now, the images of Julia Roberts as Evil Queen (in one of two upcoming Snow White adaptations) while clad in an array of budget-looking costumes has been ingrained within our collective gossip memory. If those stills accurately portray the characters’ appearances, Julia looks truly ridiculous in her role and almost like she’s prematurely tossing in the towel to Kristen Stewart’s movie in her corner of Snow White Battle of the Bitches. It’s just as well, because Kristen’s movie really does look better anyway.
However, Julia has a much more pressing matter on her mind in relation to her take on the Evil Queen. As the mother of three children, Julia’s hoping that no one will dare tell them that she’s playing a character that scares the hell out of them. Such a calamity!
SHHH! Don’t tell Julia Roberts’ kids that their mommy is a monster — at least, on the big screen!
The Pretty Woman star recently revealed that she hasn’t told her three children she’s playing the Evil Queen in a live-action version of the animated Disney classic Snow White — because they’re terrified of the character!
“I haven’t spelled it out that I’m the Evil Queen,” Julia admitted in a recent interview. “Because I showed them [Disney's] Snow White and they had nightmares and they cried.”
Julia, 44, has three children with cameraman hubby Danny Moder — fraternal twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, 6, and Henry, 4 — and she never dreamed they’d react so violently to the Evil Queen in Disney’s feature-length cartoon.
“When the kids cried and had nightmares, Julia went to Danny and asked him, ‘Now what do I do?’” a source close to the Moder family told The ENQUIRER.
“She’s afraid to break it to them that she’s now playing that horrible, mean character. So, she’s putting it off as long as possible, and hoping no one else will tell them!”
But a top psychologist believes that Julia should explain her movie character to her kids.
“Children that young are still confused about the difference between reality and fantasy,” famed psychologist Dr. Judy Kuriansky told The ENQUIRER.
“Julia should tell her kids that she can pretend to be mean in a movie, but she’ll never treat them that way.”
Thankfully, Julia’s got some time. The still untitled film won’t be released until March 2012.

Well, I guess this rules out Julia offering up the “I did it for my kids and not the money” excuse when someone inevitably asks why she did this movie. Still, she’s in quite a pickle because, sooner or later, someone’s going to end up telling Julia’s kids that their mommy is playing the Evil Queen, so she may as well ‘fess up to them while they’re still young and capable of virtually unconditional forgiveness. Either that, or perhaps Julia should start being nicer to everyone around her so that she doesn’t have to live in fear of retaliation, including the overweight sister that she takes such joy in tormenting. With stories like that, Julia really seems fit for the Evil Queen role in real life too.

Considering her costume makes her look like a low budget drag queen and not the evil queen, I’d say she’s safe in showing her kids.

Really? She has never explained to her kids that everything they see on the big silver screen is fake? Just a “pretending to be someone else”? When I was a little girl (please don’t ask me how many years ago) and I was watching some films on tv, there was always someone (my beloved grandpa or one of my parents) who kept repeating “It’s fake, it’s a film, if you crash with your car against a wall that way, you die in real life.” It was just a comment, but I heard that so many times, that I never have problems to understand the difference between a film (or cartoons) and reality. But each person is different…

On the contrary to everybody, i love these costumes. There are perfect for this family friendly universe. I think this movie will be better than the other.

Uh, Julia? Pretty sure your kids are already aware you’re the Evil Queen. They’ll just wonder why you’re dressing up weird.

Agree with Elvynn. It’s by the guy who made The Cell and The Fall and the upcoming Immortals, so the still photos probably don’t do it justice. And there’s a slim chance this Snow White can emote…

I adore the costumes as well!

If her kids think movies are reality they’ll be in for a shock when they watch Pretty Woman for the first time.

@kaboom I was thinking the same thing. lol
The costumes are so over the top and Disney-like that I can’t imagine anyone getting scared during this version of Snow White.

This Snow White looks very butdget but I actually like Roberts on screen. Or rather I don’t hate her. Kristen Stewart makes me twitch … every performance is sooo … awkward … like I fidget in my seat the whole the whole time trying to avert my gaze from the lip biting.
How about, neither movie looks good.

Playing an Evil Queen? Playing? Hahaha. She’s the first Angie Jo, Leann Rimes and all those other homewreckers. And that’s only a fragment of her antics. She raised the bar pretty high for those who followed. Not to mention she Goops too, thinking she’s it because she’s a film star and has loads of cash to burn and moves in “important” circles. Branding normal people as “beneath her”. She is the example of the typical “American Sweetheart” who isn’t sweet at all (side-eye to Reese Whitherspoon). I can’t stand her mug either, she’s as fake as they come.
Forget Mother Monster Gaga, Julia is Mother B*.

I’m pretty sure her kids already know that she “plays” the Evil Queen.

Ugh, in all of those stills she’s got the same exact facial expression. What, is she just phoning in the whole evil queen thing? She’s doing morr evil queen emoting in that pic of her with her kids!

Have you guys seen a clip that The Soup showed last week where some reporter asks Julia Roberts about the “the dog who’s afraid of Julia Roberts” clip, and wants to know what she thinks about it? She went all “I don’t understand the words that are coming out of your mouth” on him. haha. SO bitchy.

This from the same woman that was a hooker and an “it’s normal to wear low-cut tops and crotch-high skirts to the law office” legal assistant? At least in this movie Julia is fully clothed.
