But what the wicked ruler never imagined was that the young woman who has escaped her clutches and now threatens her reign has been training in the art of war with a Huntsman named Eric (Chris Hemsworth of Thor, The Avengers) who was dispatched to capture her.
The epic action-adventure is brought to the screen by Joe Roth, the producer of Alice in Wonderland, producer Sam Mercer (The Sixth Sense) and, in his feature-film debut, commercial director and visualist Rupert Sanders.
