It may have 'Snow White' in the title, but the new Kristen Stewart film version of the fairytale is clearly a far cry from the classic Disney cartoon version so beloved by fans.
A new film still from Snow White and the Huntsman shows Stewart and co-star Chris Hemsworth in a dramatic pose where it looks like they are hiding from danger.
A scared looking Stewart comes face to face with Hemsworth axe in the photograph which sees the pair hiding out behind a tree.
Hemsworth, meanwhile, wears what looks like battle dress and clutches on to both Stewart and his axe in the shot, which is the latest teaser to be released ahead of the film's release later this year.
The grown-up version of the children's story boasts Stewart in the title role, with Hemsworth as the huntsman and Charlize Theron as a malevolent evil queen.
The axe factor: Hemsworth plays The Huntsman who is ordered by the evil queen to find Snow White, before he switches alliance
However, she is told by the Magic Mirror that if she consumes Snow White's heart then she will live forever.
She is thwarted somewhat, when Snow White escapes into the Dark Forest.
Who's the fairest of them all? Kristen Stewart is pale as snow in the trailer for Snow White and the Huntsman
Steals the show? Charlize Theron's malevolent evil queen is the star of the trailer at least
However, the Huntsman takes pity on the girl and instead of killing her, takes her under his wing, and with his help Snow White begins to learn the art of war.
She starts a rebellion to bring down the evil queen, with the help of dwarves and Prince William (Sam Claflin), who is also in love with her.

Forever young: The queen is prepared to stop at nothing to remain the fairest of all
Break from tradition: Chris Hemsworth, plays the Huntsman, who ends up falling in love with Snow White in this adaption
The dramatic trailer for the film opens with a chilling speech from Theron, who utters in a (convincing) English accent: 'Do you hear that? It's the sound of battles fought, and lives lost. It once pained me to know that I am the cause of such despair. But now their cries give me strength.'
'Beauty is my power,' she adds, before the scene cuts to her 'sucking' the life from a hapless girl before throwing her mercilessly to the ground.
The magic mirror morphs into a cloaked human shape to answer his mistress's question: 'Mirror mirror on the wall, who is fairest of them all?'
Full interaction: The magic mirror morphs into a human-like form to pass judgement on his mistress's reflection
Surprises in store: It's no wonder that few are brave enough to venture into the dark forest
Outraged, the queen orders her minions: 'Find me someone who doesn't fear the dark forest to hunt her down.'
Hemsworth's huntsman is threatened with death unless he captures and kills Snow White.
Highly anticipated: The official trailer for the film was released today, and has already caused a stir with its stunning visuals
Sweet dreams: The trailer shows the queen stabbing someone in their sleep
The film also stars Ian McShane, Eddie Izzard, Bob Hoskins, Toby Jones and Ray Winstone as the dwarves.
Produced by Alice In Wonderland's Joe Roth, it is clearly a visual feast, with no expenses spared on sweeping landscapes and stunning effects.
Despite revealing she was not initially attracted to the role of Snow White, Stewart recently let slip a few more details about her character.
Fury: Charlize plays the villain with admirable gusto and emotion, with shards of glass flying
Is that the prince? The hero isn't quite who you'd expect in this version
'It’s a total identity movie, all about not finding yourself, but actually just being okay with who you know you always have been,' she added, revealing the movie will also take on a darker twist.
'It’s an enormous burden and she’s so stunted. She was put away when she was seven years old and her mother and father were killed basically right in front of her and we’re not doing the version of a fairytale where you just sort of skim over those things.
... but the actress has insisted that she chose the role because it promised a daring break from tradition
'She literally bleeds for her land and her people, and that’s a cool concept for me because it’s other people caring about people. Every day you see people not caring about each other, and this is just about that.'
'She’s a very fully formed but “very far fetched from the reality that we live in” type of person. She also is strong in a very different way than you’d expect.'
The 21-year-old star at times looked pale and exhausted while being spotted filming scenes for the movie in the UK last year.
She was seen riding on a horse while filming several scenes in a rain soaked Wales, and filming by a river in a brown tunic and matching boots.
With her long hair soaking wet, she rode alongside Hemworth, who certainly looked the part in grubby shirt and trousers, chunky knee-high boots and hair pulled back into a ponytail.
The poster for the film is no less dramatic, featuring Stewart, Theron and Hemsworth in a three-way banner.
Theron's villainous Evil Snow Queen is pictured armed with a hefty blade.
Wearing a high-collared cape, ravens ominously circle around her.
Meanwhile, The Huntsman emerges from the tree branches wood wielding an axe, edging dangerously close to Stewart in the middle.
