Back in November of last year, we got our first look at the OTHER Snow White movie, the one NOT starring Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron. This one is called Mirror, Mirror, and Julia Roberts is the Evil Queen and Lily Collins (daughter of Phil) is Snow White. The first trailer was just awful – Julia is cackling away, seeming to aim for… camp, I think. Armie Hammer as the prince was the only highlight, just because he already looks like a cartoon prince.
But the film falls on the unsteady shoulders of Lily Collins, and dear God, I feel bad for this girl. She might be a fine actress – sure. But she was utterly miscast as Snow White. She’s an attractive girl, but Snow White is supposed to be beautiful, and considering how many references there are to Snow White versus the Queen’s comparative beauties, you’d think they would have gone with someone less… hairy? There’s just a grooming problem. And she looks so young, it’s kind of gross to see her with Armie Hammer.
Anyway, there’s a new international trailer, and if possible, it’s even worse than the first one. The first (domestic) trailer was more Julia Roberts-centric, and in this one, we’re seeing more of Snow White and the dwarves. It’s just… awful. Why was this poor girl cast as Snow White?!?!?

Those eyebrows… O_O

What’s wrong with them? Are they not generic enough for you?

Right on scylla… the trailer is forgettable and the acting may be questionable, but I think it is silly to pick on Lily’s appearance. She definitely has a more classic beauty and it’s nice to see a face with distinctive characteristics rather than the cookie cutter clones we’re so used to.

totally agree with both of the above!!
i think she’s actually beautiful and thicker eyebrows can be really lovely on a woman–they totally “work” with her look! (also, i love, love, LOVE her Audrey Hepburn-esque bangs…want!)
if she had them tweezed/waxed down she’d disappear in the crowd that is Hollywood’s starlets..
I kinda want to see this movie…

Lily is lovely. She has a beautiful complexion and her face is classic.
I’m more concerned about the casting of Julia Roberts – I can’t stand her. And on the other movie, there’s no way I buy Kristen Stewart as Snow White. She’s sullen and not the least bit attractive, nevermind beautiful.

Hairy or not she is way better than lifeless Kriesten Steward. BTW who cares about Snow White it’s all about the villian.

ITA she still makes a far better Snow White than K-Stew. The movie is catered for kids so I don’t the hair thing will be an issue

I also think she got the part right in the heels of that Abduction-mess and dating Taylor Lautner. They probably think that Twilight fans will want automatically like/see this movie because of the link.

Oh, I agree. Crazy Twitards will watch any movie featuring Pattinson, Stewart, and Lautner. I don’t doubt Collins+Lautner was another showmance. They “dated” long enough to promote Abduction, which tanked in the U.S. Remember when Lautner and Taylor Swift were linked for about 3 months to generate extra publicity for that crapfest movie Valentine’s Day? Hah. Sorry publicists, many of us aren’t fooled by that BS.

Maybe I have officially lost it but I want to see this one more than Kristen Stewarts version. It maybe because that my small son wants to see this one and it is not a cartoon. It looks campy and funny to me.

I don’t think so. It’s a matter of taste. I like camp so I’m looking forward to this one more too. It looks like it’s meant to be campy not accidentally campy.
Plus although the other one looks good I still say it looks like they invaded WETA workshop. Kinda turns me off.

Exactly. Call me childish (some people do), but I actually like this trailer. It makes me want to see the movie.

Ahem–jokes aside, this looks dreadful. Agreed that Armie Hammer looks downright creepy hitting on underage Lily Collins. WTH were they thinking?!
Meanwhile, I think the Snow White movie with Kristen Stewart & Charlize Theron looks awesome. I didn’t think KS would work physically as Snow White, but from the trailer, she looks great in the role. She’s really grown into her looks lately. I may change my mind once I see/hear her actually ACT the part. But so far, so good. And Charlize is clearly going to kick ass as the queen.

Another Snow White film?! How many versions can you make from ONE fairy tale? They’re really running out of ideas now.
Why not try The Six Swans? Or The Twelve Dancing Princesses? The Goose Girl perhaps? There are lots of really good fairy tales out there but they only focus on the popular ones…

Yeah, I don’t get either (maybe it’s a punishment for starring in 2 absolute stinkers – Abduction and this one — and for pretending a showmance with Tay-Tay who can’t act his way out of a paper bag). I actually like bushy, natural brows, way more than chola pencil-drawn ones. It’s a bit petty to focus on that as an object of complaint, so am glad of all the comments in favour of the poor girl on the matter here.
The trailer does indicate that it’s going to be one hot mess, not even worthy of an ABC Lifetime special movie! Yes, G-rated. But still, don’t people want to achieve goodness nowadays? What happened to caring about delivering a quality product? Sigh.

And I also think KStew looks nice enough for Snow White (and in my estimation Twilight is super-bad).

I think she looks great, honestly. Variety is the spice of life and her brows suit her face. I’m delighted they left them alone and didn’t come smacking a pair of tweezers at her.
Besides, she kind of reminds me of Jennifer Connelly in Labyrinth, and that CANNOT be a bad thing, ever.
I still won’t see it though, because, well…Julia Roberts. I can’t bear the woman anymore.

what a bad casting decision. her brows are truly awful….for snow white.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
Well, I personally find it terrifying when all girls and women don’t conform to my idea of how they should look.
The possibility of even ONE actress with thick brows existing in Hollywood fills me with horror. Doesn’t she understand that it is undesirable for an actress to have a genuinely unique or distinctive look – we want cookie-cutter pseudo-uniqueness!
And think about it – what if other young girls who are also naturally hairy see an actress who looks like them portraying a famously beautiful character and start thinking they’re okay the way they are?
Quite frankly, I think this Lily Collins is dangerous – part of being a proper woman is being a conformist, fighting your biology tooth & nail, and undergoing frequent, high-maintenance beauty rituals that have no health benefits.
I say we shame & mock her until she understands that. Otherwise, those brows will be terrorizing multiplex audiences for years to come.

“Isn’t this site called celebitchy?”, as I see people point out in these threads quite a bit.
I’ve been reading this site for ages and it seems there is a complex system of what or who is ok to snark on, and what/who is not. Those brows (or “browns” as someone called them upthread) are the first thing my eyes go to and truly overwhelm her face. I am sure I am not in the minority on that either. Kaiser noted the obvious. Give her a break. If it were someone you all hate on regularly it would be ok to rip the brows apart, so somehow this chick gets special treatment? Why?
And, like many others, I also find nepotism distasteful and questionable. There are multitudes of far more beautiful girls in the world who can’t get a break in Hollywood because they weren’t born connected.
This girl would not be my first choice as Snow White. Any girl with such overwhelming brows would not be my first choice. I appreciate unique looks, but they are always going to be subjective, and a gossip site with ‘bitchy’ in its name seems an appropriate place to share such opinions without reprisal.

You know something, Audrey Hepburn had HUGE eyebrows too.. They were shaped, but they were large. I applaud this young lady for keeping what was a natural feature of her face, but do somewhat agree that the makeup artists should have done something to make it look less unibrow.
She is lovely lovely though, and I don’t think she was miscast. I agree with K, with her being an actress, she is fair game to discuss her appearance.. but it is a pity that with her first shot out into the public awareness…. all we can talk about is the state of her eyebrows, not her actual talent.

She is cute. But this is a role-so lets stop with the hater comments-where physical appearance will be judged since Snow White is supposed to the most beautiful girl ever!
Lily is not fugly. She’s average. There ain’t nothing wrong with that. I think I’m average in looks and didn’t have a problem with feeling beautiful or attracting the opposite, and in some cases the same sex. It is what it is.
Kristin, as much as I loathe her personality that she projects, is beautifulish. I can see her in her Guinivere warrior knock off role a lot more than I can Lily.
However, if I’m supposed to believe that anyone would find Kirstin better looking than Charlize, then that’s where I say that movie fails. Charlize is like one of the top five most most beautiful women in Hollyhell. Now, Lily compared to Julia might seem a better suited comparison. I used to love Julia before she did that Woody film and she did that BS with Moder’s ex. Her beauty has faded in my eyes.

I think this version will do much better than the other. The Kstew on is in the middle of the blockbuster season and is riding on Kstew alone with some minor help from Helmsworth and Theron.

I find Lily Collins kind of interesting. She had a bit part in the Blind Side and then roles in Abduction and some vampire crap. I remember reading several reviews for both of the latter films and her acting got slammed. Personally, I don’t even find her very pretty. I’ve seen better looking girls at my local coffee shop. I suspect she got so far in Hollywood because of nepotism. Her father is of course Phil Collins and I think her mother is also connected behind the scenes. However, people keep defending her and saying she is a better Snow White than Kristen Stewart blah blah blah even though Stewart isn’t playing a traditional Snow White at all. I seriously wonder if any of these people have seen Lily act. I’ve seen some of Stewart’s movies outside of Twilight…she’s pretty decent and she gets good reviews. Also, she may not be as attractive as Charlize but (what under 25 starlet with a big name (Mia W, Emma Stone, Emma Watson, Kristen Stewart, Blake Lively) is besides maybe Jennifer Lawrence. When I see Kristen Stewart, I see a very pretty girl. When I see Lily Collins, I see an incredibly awkward looking 15 year old. It is just really interesting to me to see how people have such different opinions on the matter.

My question is not why this girl was cast as Snow White. Sure, she has hairy eyebrows but I think they work, for the most part.
My question is why was Kristen Stewart cast as Snow White in the other film? There is no way on or off Earth that she could be considered the fairest of them all.

Snow White is supposed to have skin white as snow, lips red as blood, and hair black as ebony. People with hair black as ebony usually have black eyebrows. I like them – they set off her face and make her look distinct.
The plucked look is so boring and makes every young woman look somewhat the same.

Wow, I really don’t understand all the dislike you have for this girl. I don’t see anything wrong with her eyebrows. They’re natural, unlike most of the plucked-to-death brows most celebs have. And I think she’s far more suitable as Snow White than Kristen Stewart. If there is any casting choice you should be questioning, it’s Kristen.
I think Lily at least has likability and warmth going for her, and she’s pretty. They also didn’t cast some gorgeous actress to play opposite her, making it seem unrealistic that the Queen would find her to be a threat. So it works. She also seems more suited to comedy.
I think the movie looks cute and watchable, and it’s so different from the other one that it’s barely worth comparing them. But I for one don’t appreciate a Snow White film attempting to be the next Lord of the Rings. I’d go with the light-hearted one first.

I love Lily Collins’ bold, dark eyebrows and hair. It gives her a very youthful and innocent appearance, which is perfect for Snow White, and it shows off the paleness of her skin, which I think is the point of the styling.
I do think that her eyebrows could have been neatened up a little, but that too could be intentional as it adds to her youthful appearance – I like it. I don’t know that I will see this movie (I really don’t like Julia Roberts), but I think it would be worth seeing just for the costumes, hair, and makeup. You never know, it could be a good, fun movie.

Ok, I take back what I said about Lily Collins’ eyebrows possibly needing to be neater; they are perfect and don’t need to be changed at all.
I also take back what I said about Julia Roberts. I still don’t like her very much, but she looks like she’s going to be a riot in this movie.
Oh my gosh, I can’t wait to see it!

I think she has a charming, lovely face. A very cute Snow White. Kristen’s Snow White is going to be much darker I think, which makes her more suited to the role. To be honest they both look like very watchable films.. I want to see both!

Yes, these movies, while both are about Snow White, aren’t the same and aren’t meant to be the same, so I think people should stop comparing them so much; it’s apples and oranges, basically.
I haven’t seen the trailer for the Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron’s Snow White movie, but it does look interesting, and if Kristen can emote more than she has in the past than it could be really good.

Not only is this girl average looking, but she can’t act worth a damn.
Don’t they have any young talented actresses who look like young Liz Taylor?
Chloë Moretz would have been a better choice here. And Julia Roberts should retire like yesterday, her acting here is atrocious.

I think she is so pretty. Very much like Audrey Hepburn. I am digging the eyebrows.

She’s prettier than Kristen Stewart. It’s just that her eyebrows dominate her face. Groom them and I think she would be very lovely.

I think Lily Collins is VERY beautiful – also I think her eyebrows need thinned. She does look WAY too young for Arnie Hamor.

Where the fuck did they find the most NON FAIREST actresses of them all!
I love how a nobody got the role, but what the fuck is up with the way she is saying her script?
Ya. So will not take my niece and nephew for this one!
It looks REALLY REALLY REALLY bad!!
Bad casting
Bad idea for a motion picture. Would have like an original movie!!!!!!!!! An original story idea!!!!!!
Bad Disney Bad!
I understand what they were trying to go for, but no. Sorry. There is no way I’m wasting 50bucks on the “theater experience” for this piece of shit movie!

i wonder what the comments would have been if celebitchy was around when princess bride was being made?

Okay, who’s the one who revived Frida Kahlo for this role? (trying so hard to be polite and not make a unibrow joke).

I think Lily Collins is really pretty. I even like her eyebrows; mine are too wispy. And I agree with the above commenter that she has a classic beauty– in some of the shots with her bangs down I’d even say she was reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn.

lol all you jealous hags who say Kristen is ugly, give me a break, you might not like her acting, but she is gorgeous, stop hating so much, ohh ans SWATH looks much better than this crap

I think I have this image of Snow White from Disney, and Lily interpretation of the character chafes against that ideal. Kristen Stewart is a joke, aesthetically and as an actor. I am willing to give Lily a chance, though.

She looks adorable with the bangs. The picture is blah but she looks very pretty in the trailer. Armie Hammer is only 25, he just looks much older.
I think the movie looks cute and I DESPISE Julia Roberts.

I’ve already seen this in a screening. My friends and I (all twenty-somethings) actually really liked it (except for the very end, but that can be changed and I think most people hated it so maybe all our combined surveys will change it). It was pretty fun and campy, and Lily did fine, acting-wise. Julia was an over-the-top villain, but that suited the tone of the movie. I would recommend it, especially for a fun movie with the family.

Whenever I wonder why an actress was cast, I automatically think ‘casting couch’.
It still exists.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
Yes, it has always existed. But if you’re not particularly talented AND one or both of your parents are famous, then you can avoid the casting couch because of your family connections.

Both are not nearly attractive enough for their respective roles as fairest in the land. Especially Roberts. I couldn’t believe it when I heard she was playing the evil queen. She could pull it off when she turns into the hag, though.

Ewww she is so close to having unibrow in the picture with the yellow cloak.
Does anyone watch the tv show Once upon a time? Ginnifer Goodwin portrays the best snow white and she is absolutely beautiful.

Are they sure the girl is really Phil Collins daughter? She looks with the pout and the big bottom lip more like Daniel Craig’s and Rachel Weisz’ long lost daughter.

LOL! Now that you mention it, I can see it too.

I don’t mind her brows. I think she is very beautiful, that doesn’t bother me, but the whole movie looks really dull and campy in a very boring way. Maybe a better cast could have pulled it off and I find out a bit strange and creepy that both Julia Roberts who looks 40 and Collins who looks about 15 are going for the same boy.
Sorry, Kristen Stewart’s Snow is winning if only because I do love Charlize Theron.

I don’t understand why we need either Snow White movie! Really — can Hollywood ever come up with an original idea these days. But I think Lily Cole is an extraordinarily pretty girl, even if
the eyebrows are a bit think. She has the sweet, fresh,innocent prettiness of a Snow White.

By the way, has anyone seen the original Disney Snow White. They are obviously trying to emulate the character in real life and the eyebrows and curve in the mouth are all part of that. Also, did anyone see Harry Potter and his eyebrows? It’s an artistic touch that no one has said a world about. The girls always get the flax and can do nothing right. If you don’t like it blame the makeup artist but why pick on this very pretty young woman.

Thick, shapely eyebrows used to be the standard for beauty. I think Lily is gorgeous beyond words, and the unplucked eyebrows make her look young and fresh-faced. I think a gossip blog who prides itself on being more intelligent and thoughtful that the others should know better than to rag on a girl for something like how hairy her eyebrows are. Seriously, petty and cruel. Get over it.

i want to see the 2 versions:this one looks so campy and more kid-oriented

One of my fav actresses (Jennifer Connelly) is also a thick brows girl: love her, love her acting and love the fact that she stands out and doesn’t compromise to generic features in the hopes of getting more roles/recognition. Collings gets no hate from me on that, I find her face lovely and unique.
That said, the trailer still looks super shite to me. Still prefer the Theron/Stewart film also because the plot seems more like my cup of tea.

Pretty girl, but her eyebrows could use some serious attention.

I think she is beautiful, if a little unusual looking by typical Hollywood standards (not botoxed to hell, and plastic).
It looks like a goofy kids movie.

Yikes. It looks awful and so budget looking.

She doesn’t look hairy to me. I really like her brows.

Still better than Kristen Stewart that’s for sure.

I think the movie looks like it could be fun, especially with kids. Armie Hammer DOES look like a cartoon prince, LOL! (He’s cute, but it’s true.)
I think Lily Collins is lovely, but her brows need *just a tad* more thinning. Just a teeny bit, so her face looks more balanced rather than the brows being the first thing you see. I do like the natural brow look.
I am American, but I found Snow White and the Prince’s American accents rather jarring. Maybe because the fairy-tale clothes and the casual, modern accent seem odd together? Wondering if anyone else had the same thought.

Kaiser must love the pencil thin drawn on eyebrow look. All my life I have had thick black eyebrows, and always made fun of like the bitches on this this site! Good to see someone can make it in HW without looking like everyone else.
