Brett Ratner to Make Snow White Edgy

Since Hollywood is running out of 1980s television series to pillage and plunder for big screen glory, why not turn to the 1780s next? Fresh off the success of Alice in Wonderland, studios are already planning reboots of Cinderella and The Great and Powerful Oz -- and now comes word of Snow White getting the makeover treatment. But before you take a bite out of that forbidden apple and end it all, just remember: This isn't your grandfather's Snow White. Right, producer Brett Ratner?

"This is not your grandfather's Snow White. [Screenwriter] Melisa Wallack went back to the 500-year-old folk tale and put in some of the things that were missing from Walt Disney's film. His dwarves were miners, and here they are robbers. There is also a dragon that was in the original folk tale. Walt made one of the great movies of all time, but ours is edgy and there is more comedy. The original, made for its time, was soft compared to what we're going to do."

Well, Relativity Media sure hopes so, considering they are the ones who invested in Wallack's script. That this is being planned for 3D should come as no surprise, but who will play Snow White? For what it's worth, Megan Fox is available. And nothing says edgy like Megan Fox...
