First Look at Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron in Snow White and the Huntsman

If fans at the Comic Con convention were looking for a little action and verbal sparring, that's exactly what they got when Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron took stage to promote their movie Snow White and the Huntsman.
Kristen, 21, and Charlize, 35, engaged in some playful fighting talk yesterday as they unveiled the first character images from their upcoming fairytale film.
The South African actress admitted she didn't really know Stewart, but said she had a feeling the Twilight star was going to 'give me a run for my money.'

Stewart told the massive crowd of assembled fans that doing a traditional Snow White was not something 'I was jumping at.'
What attracted her was that this Snow White is more edgy: 'I get to have a sword and stuff,' Stewart said.

It is now scheduled to open in the U.S. in March, to beat the Huntsman into theatres by two and a half months.

The film's director Tarsem Singh was also at Comic Con and bumped into the cast and crew of The Huntsman.
But he took it all in stride and even joked about the competition between the duelling Snow White films.
'I met them, wished them luck,' Singh told New York Magazine's The Vulture blog.
