Hollywood filmmakers are always trying to experiment with different kinds of films. Last year, Hollywood movie buffs were treated with a wonderful fantasy film, Ex Machina. The movie, which featured Domhnall Gleeson and Alicia Vikander, dealt with the relationship between a human being and an AI. The film was something that was never seen before and people loved it. While some filmmakers make movies on newer subjects, the rest rely on the age old formulas. One of the most common trends in Hollywood is sequels. If a film is a hit, the makers always try to make the second part of it. And if that works too, then you can expect it to turn into a franchise. The only downside of sequels or franchises is that very few of them manage to retain the charm that the original film had. Even die-hard fans of the Fast and the Furious series are slowly losing interest in the franchise.
While making instalments in a franchise, makers sometimes opt for prequels too. They show the backstory of the characters and how it all started. One of the upcoming adventure movies, too, is the second instalment of a series. Titled The Huntsman: Winter’s War, the movie is a prequel of Snow White and the Huntsman. The first movie was loved by many and that is why the makers decided to continue the series. The Australian actor, Chris Hemsworth, will reprise his role of the huntsman and besides him, the other actors that will be seen in the film are Charlize Theron, Emily Blunt, Jessica Chastain, Nick Frost, Sam Claflin, Rob Brydon, Alexandra Roach, Sheridan Smith and Christopher Obi.
The plot of this series is loosely based on the fairytale, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The films talk about the story of the huntsman, a pivotal character in the Snow White series. The story of this second instalment will show a war between two sisters. The Huntsman and a fellow warrior have to protect one of the sisters. While one of the sisters is a nice person, the other one is evil and has wicked intentions.
