Snow White And The Huntsman Sequel Changes Director
Frank Darabont isn't going to direct The Huntsman. But Cedric Nicolas-Troyan is. Work on the sequel to Snow White And the Huntsman - which now goes by the name of The Huntsman - is set to get going in earnest later this year. But before it does, there's a change in director that we need to tell you about. Earlier this week it was revealed that The Shawshank Redemption and The Mist helmer Frank Darabont had dropped out of directing The Huntsman. The reason? "Creative differences" is all we've been told thus far. So who's going to be stepping into his shoes? That'd be a man by the name of Cedric Nicolas-Troyan. Once mooted to helm the reboot of Highlander that Summit Entertainment is putting together, Nicolas-Troyan has thus far built a steady career as a second unit director and visual effects supervisor. On his CV? The likes of Maleficent, Snow White And The Huntsman, One Hour Photo and The Ring. The Huntsman will mark the Frenchman's directorial debut, and the film will star Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron. Emily Blunt is a rumored addition to the cast. The Huntsman is currently set for release in April 2016.
