The Hollywood Reporter has an interesting article about the possibility of a live-action martial arts film based on Snow White, with a script by Michael Chabon. As they summarize it, “Snow and the Seven will be set in 1880s British colonial China and will have fantasy and martial arts elements, with the ‘seven’ being Shaolin monks. The story also will hearken back to aspects of the original Grimm Brothers’ fairy tale. Chabon is the author of Wonder Boys and The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, which won him the 2001 Pulitzer for literature. Chabon also was a writer on Spider-Man 2.“
