3D World takes a look at the brains behind bringing the Mirror Man to life.  3D World writes:

While Tarsem Singh delivered a family-friendly interpretation of the Snow White fairy tale with Mirror Mirror, his fellow ex-commercials director Rupert Sanders reworked the story into a dramatic, action-laden piece for the Twilight generation.


In conjunction with the SWATH DVD release, 3D World reflects upon an interview with Visual Effects Supervisor Nicolas Hernandez of The Mill who are the creators of the Mirror Man's special effects image.

MIRROR MIRROR: MORE CASTING NEWS

UPDATE:

We at The Enchanting Beauty would like to personally thank @malenacasey for providing  casting news with the magical voiceover. The fans are loving it.


Here is the audio transcribed by @Robstenation via @Gossipgyal. There are a couple of words EB personally could not distinguish when listening to the audio but it appears that @Robstenation got them. Thanks ladies!:

"Who will you be when faced with the end? The end of a kingdom, the end of good men...Will you run, will you hide or will you hunt evil down with a venomous pride?


Rise to the ashes... Rise to the winter sky... Rise to the calling.... Make her the battle cry.

Let us scream through the mountains... from the forest to the chapel.... because death is a hungry mouth... and you are the apple.


So, who will you be when faced with the enemy? When the vultures are circling and the shadows descend.

Will you cower or will you fight? Is your heart made of glass or with pure snow white?"

(Disney)

"Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?"  This request will be made to Christopher Obi as the "Mirror" by the Queen in Snow White and the Huntsman.

Although not confirmed officially, we have determined that there are new cast members added to SWATH.

Obi will be the voice of the 'Mirror Man' otherwise known as the "Magic Mirror" according to his official biography and confirmed via twitter.  In addition, another new cast member, Rachael Stirling's fansite also has it posted.  This has to be the coolest role in the film.

Obi has appeared in television ("Dr. Who"), film and stage. Fans can hear a recording of what could be test footage of a potential trailer for SWATH.  Listen here.
