My vote is for this as well. I also would love an actress like Rachel Weisz since I loved her as a villainess in Oz the Great and Powerful (and pseudo villainess in My Cousin Rachel). Janet Montgomery is lesser known but she's become one of my favorite actresses after her role in Salem as Mary Sibley where she plays a witch who turns to darkness but ultimately finds the light again at the end to be redeemed. She has the look and the gravitas to play this role imo and she would look amazing in all the different costumes.

Nicole Kidman is a great actress but looks nothing like the animated version whose design is impeccable and should not be altered imo. Meryl Streep is far too old but she could play the witch version. I'd prefer the same actress play both incarnations of the character. Would be interesting if they brought back Susan Sarandon since she essentially played this character in Enchanted, although she's also a bit too old for my taste for this role.

Oh, Rachel Weisz would be an awesome idea! She's so beautiful and she was great in Oz The Great & Powerful. Plus her British accent is so sexy.
I was also thinking of Susan Sarandon. She's one of the best. I loved her performance in Feud: Bette & Joan. She could be great in Snow White as well. Plus, yes, her performance in Enchanted could be very similar in Snow White. But the problem is Snow White herself. I can't think of anyone who could play her.

Wouldn't it be great if the filmmakers did the same as they did in Jungle Book, and bring back the original book from the opening scene, and have Julie Andrews (as in Enchanted) be the narrator?

What does Jessica Lange have to do with Faye Dunoway?

Speaking of Feud, Jessica Lange has played several roles that are strikingly similar to the Queen's character, such as in Feud as well as in most seasons of American Horror Story. She's also probably too old for the role now but she'd be another great choice. After all, Joan Crawford was one of the initial inspirations for the Queen so it would be fitting if an actress who depicted Crawford would play the Queen as well. Certainly a better choice than Faye Dunaway.

For Snow White, I think an unknown actress would be a good choice. Certainly something more inspired than Kristen Stewart being cast.

One of the best parts of the live-action Jungle Book was them bringing the book back. I'd love to see the book return in Snow White. Julie Andrews is a great choice for narrator and it would be another throwback to Enchanted. It's too bad Adriana Caselotti is no longer with us, otherwise I'd have loved for her to be the narrator perhaps in her distinctive voice.

Oh, thanks for the Joan Crawford explanation.

An older queen might be interesting.

Old Fish Tale wrote:Am I the only person who wants someone very young for this role? Snow White was 14 in the animated film. Marc Webber worked with Mckenna Grace in his last film. I think she'd be great.

I would've never in a million years thought of that, but she would be so good! I know that Disney must have an employee or two that haunts these forums; I have my theories as to who that is. I hope they see this and report back to their masters. She would be perfect.
