With two Snow White movies on the horizon, you might think Hollywood would find another fairy tale to plunder on the silver screen.
But it appears that Disney is ready to bring us a third big-screen version of Snow White.
Order of the Seven began as a sort of displaced version of Snow White called Snow and the Seven—a kung fu-esque story about a Western woman who joins forces with seven martial artists—but it seems to have strayed even further from its fairy-tale origins. Here’s how The Hollywood Reporter is describing it:
In this iteration, the seven are a 19th century-set disparate band of international warriors belonging to a centuries-old order who have lost their way. They meet with an Englishwoman who is being chased by an ancient evil, and she proves to be the catalyst for their redemption. … While the project is set in China, the warriors will be from locales near (the U.S.) and far (Russia), and each warrior will have a unique fighting style.
