SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN 2 Close To Signing Director, Three Contendors


The wheels on Snow White and the Huntsman 2 are really beginning to roll.  Universal has narrowed the director search to three: Frank Darabont, Gavin O'Connor and Andy Muschietti.

Did Snow White and the Huntsman really warrant a sequel?  I didn't think so, but most don't.  I'll shut up now.
While all eyes have been on who’ll ultimately direct Ant-Man, Universal is getting down to finding a helmer for Snow White And The Huntsman 2. I’m hearing the shortlist consists of Frank Darabont, Gavin O’Connor and Andy Muschietti.
