Title: A Dangerous Method Director: David Cronenberg Cast: Michael Fassbender, Keira Knightley, Viggo Mortensen, Vincent Cassel and Sarah Gadon If you buy into the Auteur Theory of film criticism (that a filmmaker’s films reflect the filmmaker themselves), then you can see “A Dangerous Method” fits perfectly in David Cronenberg’s canon.

Just coming off a huge $66 million opening weekend, “Thor” star Chris Hemsworth is in talks to join Kristen Stewart (The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1) in Universal’s “Snow White and The Huntsman”. The angle of this rendition of “Snow White” will emphasize the Huntsman in the famous story by The Brothers Grimm. The Huntsman is Snow White’s protector. Chris Hemsworth would be playing the Huntsman, which had its flirtations with other strong leading males like Viggo Mortensen, Michael Fassbender, Hugh Jackman and Joel Edgerton. If Hemsworth could play it like he played Thor, with a large and bruiting screen presence, then I can see no reason why…
