"Walt Disney made Snow White as an entertainment to watch in family, but our version will be much more darker. Anyhow, Grimm's tale is a material filled of wealth. As Shakespeare's plays, every kind of rereading is allowed."
(On the first trailer) "It's one of the first things we shot. A lot of key elements are in there: the mirror scene, the queen's bath, Ravenna's transformation into a crow... That allowed us to affirm our ideas and to show the visual language of the movie."
"I haven't seen one picture of Tarsem's version but our projects seem so different, that's why I'm not worried. It's not like two girls who arrive at a party and find out that they wear the same dress!"
"The idea of the eight dwarves was in the first version of the script. I found it excellent so I guess this was crazy enough."
"It's an amazing cast. With such actors, I could have shoot a gansta movie!"
"The names of the dwarves, Snow White's costume.. In the end, they're just details. We approach the same topics as the Grimm brothers: the obscure journey of a young girl who became a grown-up, the need to bring light back in a world infested by darkness. They are universal metaphors and, I hope, timeless."
