Monsters and Critics reports:
Roberts is set to play the evil queen in the new film by Relativity Media, which will go against the traditional story for a modern telling and will include more comedy and adventure, according to Variety.
Well, Tarsem Singh is directing, so I expect a lot of eye popping visuals that hopefully won’t distract from the story (as Tarsem’s The Fall and The Cell did) and I don’t know if audiences are going to be game for this. Casting Julia as the antagonist is tricky, but I think she can pull it off. Will the filmgoing public feel the same?
I don’t know. I mean, I felt the same way I felt about Uma Thurman in Percy Jackson- a villain who is too pretty to be scared of. But I can see Roberts hitting a mark with a cheesy, over the top wicked laugh…and keeping her smile.
