Lily Collins As An Updated Snow White (PHOTO)

A few months ago, news broke that Lily Collin was cast as the fairest of them all in The 'Brother's Grimm: Snow White.'

Relativity just released its first photo of Collins as Snow White. And it's not what we were expecting. The fluorescent blue sky and deeply ornate dress has already taken fresh twist on the storybook classic. While at one point "The Lovely Bones" and "Hanna" star Saoirse Ronan was rumored to be in talks, but Collins, who will next be seen in the Taylor Lautner-led thriller, "Abduction," more than looks the part.

The fairy tale isn't the only thing that's being changed, Julia Roberts will shed her typical likability for the role of the Evil Queen and Armie Hammer will save the day as the prince.

This isn't the only "Snow White" flick headed to theaters; Universal is racing to complete its own spin on the fairy tale, the Kristen Stewart-starring "Snow White and the Huntsman." In that take, Charlize Theron is cast as the Evil Queen, while "Thor" star Chris Hemsworth will play the life-saving Huntsman and "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" breakout Sam Claflin will take on the Prince role.

I like her eyebrows, they are alot better than all these girls with pencil thin brows. And I think her acting was good in the movie Priest. Before you critic someone try to look at some of the things they have been in first people!

Is it the first time that something like this happen?
Currently in third place production-wise is Disney's 'Snow and the Seven,' which is still in the scripting stage. Michael Arndt ('Toy Story 3') was just brought in by the studio to write a new draft of the screenplay, which is a radical transformation of the Snow White story that finds the forelorn lass in China in the 1800s with seven expert warriors taking the place of the dwarves. Francis Lawrence ('I Am Legend,' 'Constantine') will be directing, though who he'll be bossing around is completely up in the air. Natalie Portman had been attached to the project at one point in time, but The Hollywood Reporter's recent post about Arndt's hiring seems doubtful that is still the case.

Beautiful girl. I can see her as Snow White. Kristen Stewart?? Oh hell no.

She does look a bit manufactured. Besides being Phil Collins' daughter, what has she done? I don't recall seeing any of her work.

@chitown alexandra: I agree. Since Relativity's Ryan K. has Beverly Hills money connections, it's not surprising to see Ms Collins (Beverly Hills) "enchanting Relativity execs " for this part as well as conveniently having her name linked with the latest, popular celebrity, Taylor Lautner.

Anyone with the right connections can "act" in a movie. How sad for movies....

She played the daughter 'Collins' in the movie, The Blind Side, with Sandra Bullock.

Lily does look like a more traditional Snow White. I'm looking forward to both versions, though. Even though I think Kristen Stewart was pretty 1-dimensional before, I can see her being in a more darker version of Snow White.

Who ARE these people and what 'actress' mill spit them out? And no she doesn't look Vivien Leigh or Elizabeth Taylor, whom in this century we will never see the likes of again. I mean really!?!?!?

"Grimm", not "Grim". We need an edit button. Grr!

First sentence of first paragraph: "Brother's Grim".

Oh dear. Someone needs to learn how to use apostrophes. (Or should that be apostrophe's?)

She also resembles a young Vivienne Leigh.

Yeah, she should have them shaped just a little bit. At least they're not pencil thin.
