Armie Hammer joins "The Brothers Grimm: Snow White", Saoirse Ronan in talks for leading lady

Armie Hammer is the most handsome of them all.

"The Social Network" breakout star officially joined Julia Roberts in the fairy tale adaptation "The Brothers Grimm: Snow White" as Prince Andrew Talcott. Roberts has been locked to star as the Evil Queen initially. Hammer is currently filming Clint Eastwood-directed movie along with Leonardo DiCaprio, "J. Edgar", in which they reportedly become a couple and had numerous 'kissing' scenes. I am definitely going to watch that movie! xD

Meanwhile, Irish actress Saoirse Ronan is currently in talks to play Snow White, but haven't confirmed about her involvement. This is an absolute great choice. In a very young age, Ronan received an Oscar nomination for her terrific performance in Joe Wright's "Atonement", and then landed a leading role in Peter Jackson's sci-fi drama "The Lovely Bones". Her latest movie would be "Hanna", where she gets to play a teen assassin. She is also rumored to join cast of "The Hobbit", which means there's a little possibility for her to join "Snow White" if the "Hobbit" rumor is true.

This project will be directed by "Immortals" and "The Fall" helmer Tarsem Singh, while Melissa Walack writes the screenplay. Assuming that it will be derived from the original Brothers Grimm story (not the 1937 Disney cartoon), I thought this Snow White version will be way darker, even than upcoming "Snow White and the Huntsman" and Disney's "Snow and the Seven". But IndieWire revealed a bit after peeking on Walack's draft, that "the tone is lighter and more comic". Even so, it is possible that the team rewrites and darkens the storyline, as Jason Keller is now involved to write the script.

"The Brothers Grimm: Snow White" will come to theatres in June 23, 2012 in 3D.
