Today, let’s take a look at Charlize Theron’s new movie, The Huntsman: Winter’s War.
Plot:
As a war between rival queen sisters Ravenna and Freya escalates, Eric and fellow warrior Sara, members of the Huntsmen army raised to protect Freya, try to conceal their forbidden love as they combat Ravenna's wicked intentions.
Trivia:
• In the weeks following the Sony e-mail hacks, which made public thousands of privately circulated messages relating to the studio and its practices, it was revealed that Charlize Theron was to be paid substantially less to reprise her role in this film than her returning co-star, Chris Hemsworth. Theron, herself a proven box office draw, refused to sign on to the film unless Universal agreed to pay her the same salary as Hemsworth. The studio accepted her terms, and both Theron and Hemsworth were paid just over $10,000,000 each for the film.
• Universal Pictures originally planned this film as a sequel to Snow White and the Huntsman (2012), but then dropped Kristen Stewart from the film. It was speculated that this was because of her widely reported affair with the previous film's director, Rupert Sanders. However, Universal's statement in August of 2012 emphatically denied that Stewart had been dropped from the film because of any indiscretion, and that the studio was exploring all options: it was eventually decided that this film would instead be a prequel about the Huntsman rather than Snow White.
• Like the movie 300: Rise of an Empire (2014), this movie is both a prequel and sequel and takes place before and after Snow White and the Huntsman (2012), as it details how The Huntsman became Huntsman and Ravenna's rise to power.
• Jessica Chastain's character, Sara, is mentioned in Snow White and the Huntsman (2012) as being the Huntsman's late wife, who is discovered to be alive but was thought to have been dead due to an Ice Queen deception.
• Colin Morgan starred in Merlin and loved a woman named Freya, in this movie he also loves a woman named Freya.
Goofs:
• Sara shoots Eric in the middle of the chest. The arrow is pulled off and leaves a shallow wound beneath his throat, with not a dent to the medallion.
• In the previous film, Queen Ravenna had a very close, somewhat mystical bond with her brother Finn, who was her head enforcer. He is also seen during a flashback to when Ravenna received her magic powers. This film, however, makes absolutely no mention of him in either the scenes set prior to the first film or the ones set afterward. In addition, there is no indication in the first film of Ravenna having any other siblings besides her brother.
Have a fangtastic Monday, and Happy Birthday to Kelly Murphy !
