Deadline reports that hot scribe Hossein Amini has been brought on board to do rewrites on the film. His most recent credits include Nicolas Winding Refn‘s acclaimed “Drive” and the currently shooting “47 Ronin” with Keanu Reeves, and he also had a hand in one of the many Jack Ryan reboot drafts. Set to be directed by Rupert Sanders, and starring Charlize Theron, Kristen Stewart, Sam Clafin and Chris Hemsworth, the film is a retelling of the classic fairy tale which places the woodsman who is meant to bump off the titular princess front and center of the story.

McShane will play Caesar, the leader of the dwarfs. Universal is in the process of casting the rest of his crew. With Universal and Relativity Media racing separate Snow White projects into theaters next year (Relativity's untitled project also is ramping up production and is currently set to hit theaters in March), there could be serious competition to find strong character actors to fill the roles.
McShane, repped by ICM, Gallant Management, Independent Talent, and attorney Mark Wetzstein, is currently shooting Bryan Singer and New Line’s Jack the Giant Killer, in which he plays a benevolent king.

There are no small parts in Hollywood. But these days there are plenty of dwarf roles to go around.

Universal is ramping up its casting of the warrior dwarfs in its high-profile Snow White and the Huntsman action adventure movie, with Eddie Izzard, Bob Hoskins and Toby Jones in negotiations to board the movie.

Eddie Marsan (Sherlock Holmes) and Steven Graham are in negotiations to play dwarves in the film as well.

The project, being directed by Rupert Sanders, is a revisionist take on the fairy tale and features Snow White (Kristen Stewart) as a princess who escapes her evil stepmother (Charlize Theron) with the help of a huntsman (Chris Hemsworth) who was to have killed her but now trains the princess to survive and fight back.

Evan Daugherty wrote the initial script and Evan Spiliotopoulos is currently working on it.

As Heat Vision first reported Monday, Ian McShane was cast first as the dwarf leader. The dwarf names are veering mightily away from the well-known Disney version, with McShane as Caesar, Jones as a timid dwarf named Claudius and Izzard will be Tiberius, described as the biggest and burliest of the crew. Hoskins will play Constantine, a blind dwarf.

Izzard, who will be heard as part of the Cars 2 voice cast, is repped by UTA, the Collective and UK-based Conway Van Gelder.

Hoskins, who last appearerd in Made in Dagenham, is repped by CAA and the UK's United Artists.

Jones, repped by UTA and ARG Talent, will next be seen in Captain America: The First Avenger and does voicework in The Adventures of Tintin. He next shoots a part in Hunger Games.

Evan Daughtery wrote the script with Hossein Amini doing the most recent polish on the script.

Pic is expected to go into production this fall with a release date set for June 1, 2012.

The news comes on the heals of the pic casting its dwarves with Ian McShane on board to play the leader of the dwarves Caesar.
