Walt Disney Pictures has hired Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael Chabon to pen SNOW AND THE SEVEN, a martial arts take on SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS, reports HOLLYWOOD REPORTER. Hong Kong director Yuen Wo Ping will make his English-language directorial debut on the film. Andrew Gunn is producing with Gunnfilm's Ann Marie Sanderlin serving as exec producer.

I've gotta say, I think I'm actually looking forward to this. I'm sort of hoping they go for a more campy feel, because I don't know how seriously I could take the story when it has shaolin monks. Still, I'd prefer this over a Snow White II DTV.

A martial arts take on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs?! What is Disney coming to? Sounds rather interesting though.

Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael Chabon will write "Snow and the Seven," an East-meets-West retelling of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," for Walt Disney Pictures. Hong Kong director Yuen Wo Ping will make his English-language directorial debut on the film, which Andrew Gunn is producing.

"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.

Brigham Taylor is the Disney exec on the project, and Gunnfilm's Ann Marie Sanderlin is executive producing.

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."

The Sun is the source? As in the same magazine that puts out trash, lies, and half-truths. I find it HARD to believe.

No, that's the Enquirer.

And actually, to be honest, the Sun is more to the truth than our tabloids are.
