When Sean Bean rolled up to talk to us at the Mirror, Mirror premiere recently, it was all we could do to keep from shouting “GAME OF THRONEZZZ OMG!” Yes, the show is that amazing, thanks in large part to Bean’s portrayal of Ned Stark. (His role in Mirror, Mirror is kind of blink-and-you-miss it, but pivotal and classic Sean Bean nonetheless.) We asked the British actor for his thoughts on another niche show with a mega-following, Downton Abbey. He surprised us by not being as big a fan as, well, the entire Internet seems to be. “I’ve kind of seen it all before,” he said when asked if he was into the show. “I might sound a bit flip, but I don’t think it’s representative of what the English are, of what the English were.

Game Of Thrones Returns: Will Sean Bean Reclaim His Head? (CONTACT MUSIC)

Game Of Thrones will begin its second series in the US tomorrow (1 Apr 2012).

The previous series of 'Game Of Thrones' saw the character of Ned Stark, played by Sean Bean, lose his head in the cliff-hanger finale. The series is based on fantasy book series 'A song of Ice and Fire' by George R.R. Martin. Ned faced a similar fate in the novel, shocking viewers and readers alike considering that he was a lead character.

Ned was a family man and the king's hand, whilst viewers got to know about his wife, played by MICHELLE FAIRLEY and their kids. It has now been suggested that eldest son Robb, played by RICHARD MADDEN, will be seeking justice for his father's death. Rumours have been circulating on the net on whether Sean Bean will make a surprise re-appearance in the second series or not.

Sean Bean: Mirror Mirror‘s Surprise Cameo Will Draw In The Straight Guys (CRUSHABLE)

By Natalie Zutter

In the lead-up to Relativity Media’s Mirror Mirror, the only male cast member who’s gotten much attention has been Armie Hammer as the sweet but conceited prince that Lily Collins‘ Snow White falls in love with.

But when we saw the movie at a press screening a few weeks ago, we were amused at the very end when it turned out that Snow’s presumed-dead father was a familiar face in the fantasy world: Sean Bean!

Despite its PG rating and candy-colored costumes, Mirror Mirror saves some jokes and winking asides for its older audiences, whether parents of squirming kids or young Millennials tuning in for Lily and Armie.

Making Sean Bean the dethroned king who — spoiler – is cast into the woods in beast form brings to mind his most recent medieval role: Playing Eddard Stark on HBO’s Game of Thrones.

Though the latter has like 200% more nudity and gore than the former, both are powerful men humiliated and punished for doing the right thing.

'Mirror Mirror' is anything but Grimm ✭✭✭ This fairy tale princess holds her own in a lively 'Snow White' reiteration (CHICAGO TRIBUNE)

By Sheri Linden,
Special to Tribune Newspapers
March 30, 2012

Encased in a coffin, waiting to be brought back to life: That's how Snow White spends a good portion of the folk story that bears her name. There's no such downtime for the princess in the snappy retelling"Mirror Mirror," a fractured fairy tale that occupies the divide between Disney and Grimm.

A booster shot of testosterone lends kinetic kick to director Tarsem Singh's visually inventive interpretation, without shortchanging the requisite froufrou or sugarcoating the story's dark Oedipal heart. The mashup can be choppy, but the fable zings along on the sharp comic timing of the cast, led by a royally wicked Julia Roberts. 

The screenplay by Marc Klein and Jason Keller (a screen story credit goes to Melisa Wallack) pointedly rewrites the fairy tale convention that finds every damsel helplessly imperiled until a prince delivers her from danger. This Snow White (voiced by Lily Collins) can get gussied up with the best of them, but she also holds her own in a fencing duel. And — hello, switcheroo — she rescues a prince in distress.

When in exile, Snow (it's a first-name-informal kingdom) receives martial-arts instruction from the dwarfs. Like the famous septet from Disney's 1937 classic, this woods-dwelling crew provides sidekick slapstick, and each has a character-defining shtick — most memorably the love-struck Half Pint (Mark Povinelli). But they've also been restored to their folk tale roots as bandits and outcasts. They're action anti-heroes with hearts of gold.

Sean Bean: Phil Collins daughter Lilly plays Snow White in Mirror Mirror (Mail OnLine)

FIRST LOOK: The Seven Dwarves provide comic relief as they join Lily Collins and Julia Roberts in new Snow White adaptation Mirror Mirror

By Nadia Mendoza

Last updated at 7:02 PM on 27th January 2012


They have been translated in various ways on the big screen.

But in the new adaptation of Snow White, Mirror Mirror, it seems the Seven Dwarves are there to provide comic relief.

In a new trailer of the upcoming movie, viewers have been treated to their first look at the dwarves, who help out heroine Snow White, played by Lily Collins, in her time of need.

The pretty brunette plays an exiled princess who must seek the help of seven 'resourceful rebels' to protect herself from the villianous queen who has taken control of the kingdom.

The film also stars Sean Bean as The King and Armie Hammer, who catapulted to fame playing the dual role of the Winklevoss twins in The Social Network, as handsome Prince Andrew Alcott.

Despite accusations she is trading off her father's fame, 22-year-old Lily actually embarked on her own career two decades ago with a debut role in BBC series Growing Pains at the tender age of two.

She has since starred as Sandra Bullock's daughter in 2009 production The Blind Side and co-starred with Twilight hunk Taylor Lautner in last year's action film Abduction.

Mirror Mirror - Julian Roberts, Lily Collins, Sean Bean (She Knows Entertainment)

Whom Will You Choose?

Get ready to fall under Snow White's spell. The beautiful Lily Collins and Julia Roberts are front and center of Relativity's Mirror Mirror. Naughty meets nice in the latest poster for the fable-inspired comedy.

 

Who's the fairest of them all? With leading ladies like Julia Roberts and Lily Collins, it's hard to choose! Relativity Media has released a new poster for their upcoming Snow White adaptation, Mirror Mirror.

The film is a fantastical comedy that tackles inner versus outer beauty. In Mirror Mirror, Collins stars as Princess Snow White, while Roberts plays her nemesis the Evil Queen. The devious matriarch forces the princess into exile, and seizes control of their magical kingdom.

While on her own, Snow White gets a helping hand from seven dwarf rebels. The group devises a plan to expose the Queen and her deeds once and for all. With new friends by her side, Snow White quickly goes from meek maiden to independent woman.

Mirror Mirror co-stars Armie Hammer as the charming Prince Alcott, Nathan Lane as Brighton, the Queen's spineless servant and Sean Bean as the regal King. The film is directed by Tarsem Singh, who previously shot the November blockbuster Immortals.

Before landing the coveted role of Snow White, Lily Collins appeared alongside Taylor Lautner in the thriller Abduction and Sandra Bullock in the acclaimed drama, The Blind Side. Oscar-winner Julia Roberts recently starred in the comedy Larry Crowne, and last year's Eat Pray Love.

Collins is currently filming the dramedy The English Teacher with Julianne Moore and Greg Kinnear.

She's also attached to Scott Charles Stewart's The Mortal Instruments, where she'll play a teen who discovers a dark secret about her family's past. Miss Collins is a very busy girl!
Mirror Mirror opens in theaters nationwide March 16.

Tarsem Singh will direct Killing on Carnival Row

Original italian article badtaste.it

Kindly translated by Simona Fonda.

He had said, Tarsem Singh, that he was considering various hypotheses, and he has now decided: his next film will be Killing on Carnival Row. From peplum epic Immortals, who has just received $ 75 million worldwide in its opening weekend, to the fantasy of Mirror Mirror, now the director will devote to the project that Arnold and Anne Kopelson were trying to accomplish almost six years and was written by Travis Beacham (Pacific Rim).

Kopelson had initially developed the film for New Line Cinema, and over the years there have involved directors like Guillermo del Toro and Neil Jordan. Deadline, which publishes the news says that the producers are in talks with a major study but did not want to disclose which one. The idea is to start filming in June in New Orleans, just over two months after the release of Mirror Mirror. Casting is already underway.

A fantasy thriller with noire tones, the film is set in the future in one town, Burgue, which looks very Victorian London. Inhabited by humans and other creatures (such as elves, fairies and vampires), Burgue lives in terror sown by a serial killer. According to Deadline, Tarsem has also explored the Escape Artists project, Nautica, and Marco Polo by James Stern and Gianni Nunnari
