Snow White Kicks Bad Guys Ass

Snow White is ready for a return to movie screens. And no, it's not a re-release of the classic Disney animated feature.

This Snow White knows martial arts. And she's in China.

Snow and the Seven, from director Francis Lawrence (Constantine) and gay producer Scott Rudin, will be a live-action re-telling of the fairy tale.

The story, set in British colonial China, finds a refugee girl taken in by a group of Shaolin monks. What happens next is anyone's guess, but expect lots of elaborate flying kicks and wire-work fighting.

Casting is still in process, but the rumor mill is abuzz with news of a Natalie Portman/Jet Li pairing, even though Li has repeatedly stated that he's retiring from martial-arts-related film roles.
