Beloved American actress Julia Roberts has long been rumored for The Brothers Grimm: Snow White to play the Evil Queen.

Well the rumors are no longer that, it has been confirmed! Filming is to begin in April, and will hit theaters sometime next year.

Entertainment Weekly Reports:

The Brothers Grimm: Snow White has found its Evil Queen. EW has confirmed that, as rumored, Julia Roberts will be playing the villainous role for the Brett Ratner-produced film for Relativity, which starts production in April. This project, of course, is not to be confused with Snow White and the Huntsman; that Universal film, which may feature Kristen Stewart in the role of Snow White, will likely star Charlize Theron as its Evil Queen. (Viggo Mortensen is in talks for the Huntsman role.)

Relativity Media officially confirmed Roberts will play the Evil Queen. ”Julia was our first and only choice to play the Queen,” said producer and Relativity CEO Ryan Kavanaugh in a statement. “She is an icon, and we know that she will make this role her own in a way that no one else could.”

Yeah, I’m so confused… There’s this film, and then there is Snow White and the Huntsman with Charlize Theron as the Evil Queen.

Wonder which one will be the better film. Guess we’ll just have to wait it out!
