'Snow White and the Huntsman': Charlize Theron Promises Chris Hemsworth a 'Handsome Reward' (Video)

Director Rupert Sanders offered further evidence that Snow White and the Huntsman, his interpretation of the classic fairy tale, would be markedly different from Tarsem Singhs Mirror, Mirror when he premiered a clip from the film Thursday on Yahoo! Movies.

In the 50-second scene, Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth exchange sharp words as she attempts to recruit him to find a young woman presumably Snow White whos disappeared into a dangerous forest.

Unlike the playful, comedic tone of Singhs film, Sanders version of the story is much darker and takes itself more seriously. Theron, a formidable actress in almost any role, is particularly intimidating as Queen Ravenna, as she first promises Hemsworths character, The Huntsman, he will be handsomely rewarded for his efforts, and then screams her insistence that he help her as her guards threaten him at spearpoint.

Meanwhile, Hemsworths reluctance is driven primarily by the fact that the forest Ravenna is referring to is incredibly dangerous, and hed rather not go there no matter how much hes being compensated. But it remains to be seen whether her charm, or her authority, prevails over the Huntsmans common sense.
