Julia Roberts has closed a deal to play the evil queen in Relativity Media’s Snow White movie, according to The Hollywood Reporter’s Jay A. Fernandez.

Tarsem Singh [The Cell, The Fall] is directing from a script by Melissa Wallack and Jason Keller. The edgier take on Snow White finds Snow and her seven dwarvish friends seeking to take vengeance on her evil stepmother for killing her father. Production is scheduled to begin in April, with a July 29, 2012 release date.

So, is this take on Snow White going to be Grimm, or grim? I wonder…
