'The Huntsman Winter's War' Official Trailer is Full of Ice and Action
November 18, 2015
Universal Pictures released the first official trailer for The Huntsman Winter’s War, the follow-up to 2012’s Snow White and The Huntsman. The action-adventure film, directed by Cedric Nicolas-Troyan, takes us deeper into the world and origins of the Huntsman (Chris Hemsworth) and his connection to the warrior Sara (Jessica Chastain). This film wouldn't be a proper fairy tale without an evil witch and lucky for us it actually has two. Through the trailer, we meet the Ice Queen Freya (Emily Blunt) and witness the return of her sister Queen Ravenna (Charlize Theron). Who will be the most powerful one of all?
Watch the trailer for The Huntsman Winter’s War below.
Official Synopsis from Universal Pictures:
The fantastical world of Snow White and the Huntsman expands to reveal how the fates of The Huntsman Eric and Queen Ravenna are deeply and dangerously intertwined. Chris Hemsworth and Oscar® winner Charlize Theron return to their roles in The Huntsman Winter’s War, an epic action-adventure in which they are joined by Emily Blunt and Jessica Chastain, as well as director Cedric Nicolas-Troyan. Producer Joe Roth (Maleficent, Alice in Wonderland) once again leads the team in a breathtaking new tale nested in the legendary saga.
Long before the evil Queen Ravenna (Theron) was thought vanquished by Snow White’s blade, she watched silently as her sister, Freya (Blunt), suffered a heartbreaking betrayal and fled their kingdom. With Freya’s ability to freeze any enemy, the young ice queen has spent decades in a remote wintry palace raising a legion of deadly huntsmen—including Eric (Hemsworth) and warrior Sara (Chastain)—only to find that her prized two defied her one demand: Forever harden your hearts to love.
When Freya learns of her sister’s demise, she summons her remaining soldiers to bring the Magic Mirror home to the only sorceress left who can harness its power. But once she discovers Ravenna can be resurrected from its golden depths, the wicked sisters threaten this enchanted land with twice the darkest force it’s ever seen. Now, their amassing army shall prove undefeatable…unless the banished huntsmen who broke their queen’s cardinal rule can fight their way back to one another.

very interesting trailer! i didn't know they were making a sequel until it came up on line yesterday. i've seen bits and pieces of the first one.
ReplyDeleteYou didn't miss out on much with the first one. I was surprised by number of people whom I consider good actors that are part of the cast of the upcoming film. I wasn't super impressed by the first movie but this one seems like it will be better.
