Universal's The Huntsman, the prequel to Snow White And The Huntsman, is being set for an April 22, 2016. The movie recently had director Frank Darabont (The Walking Dead) come aboard to take over the project and he has written the latest draft of the script. The movie will focus on the previous meeting of the Huntsman Eric (Chris Hemsworth) and Ravenna (Charlize Theron) prior to meeting Snow White.

This pushes Universal's other film, The Mummy, back to a June 26, 2016 release date. The first film in the reboot of the classic monster franchises was just in the news this week as Alex Kurtzman, who had originally been brought on to produce and guide the reboots with Chris Morgan, is now set to direct the film according to deadline.
