Rumour Mill: Is Portman Snow White

While only wild rumour as it stands this information is intriguing. Natalie Portman, fresh from delivering the chills in Black Swan is mooted to be interested in attaching herself to Brothers Grimm: Snow White Pajiba reports.

It was a couple of months ago that Deadline reported Brett Ratner and Relativity Media were looking to produce a edgy adaptation of Snow White under the moniker Brothers Grimm: Snow White (is this the start of a planned franchise of re-imaginings of fairy-tales?). Maybe.

What we do know is that The Hollywood Cog is reporting that Jean-Pierre Jeunet is considering directing duties with Portman interested in playing the 'edgy' Snow White. This would be Jeunet's first foray back in to the Hollywood scene since Alien:Resurrection. But check out Micmacs and you will undoubtedly see that such an undertaking would be a perfect fit. Fantastical, dark, humour.

Portman's involvement at first may seem odd, she always looks so innocent could she really play a 'slutty' Snow White. Yet, the same could be said for her roles n V for Vendetta and more recently Black Swan.

This project would join a growing list of 'dark fairy tales' currently being adapted, with Hanse; and Gretal: Witch Hunters and Ron Howards' attempt to develop the Legends comic.

More as it arrives
