Is Julia Roberts the fairest of them all?

The 43-year-old Oscar winner plays the Evil Queen in Tarsem Singh's adaptation of the classic fairytale Snow White. The film, which is currently untitled, also stars Abduction's Lily Collins and The Social Network's Armie Hammer.

"I don't turn into a witch. I became a hag. There's a difference," Roberts explained on Access Hollywood Live Monday. "A little glimpse into the future for Mrs. Moder!"

Tarsem tells Entertainment Weekly that Roberts' character "outsources her evil, just like most people. I wanted a person who is just schizophrenic. She's a person who would just do all the evil she needs to do to stay in power."

Roberts added that the their version of Snow White won't stay true to the original. "We don't have the classic dwarves," she explained on Access Hollywood Live. "Our dwarves have different names and personalities than the fairytale."

The untitled Snow White film hits theaters March 16.

    Julia Roberts is beautiful when she is made up but like anyone no matter who unattractive, once a professional make up artist does their magic anyone can become beautiful. Seems we forget what money can buy to stay and look great, and an artist can do the trick anywhere on your body or face. Let's all get a life and quit worrying about the outside and start looking at the inside of a person. Personally I do not know much about Roberts personal life.

    After reading these opinions I have to say wow, the woman done some fine movies and yes the make-up makes the woman stand out from the crowd, she is a successful actress with a nice bank roll and I would think a sharp business woman. She can stop by here anytime she wants. At least she isn't messed up or dead from drug abuse.

    Julia is an all time favorite and great actress although she must being doing this film just for the fun of it because I can't imagine it being much of a hit.

    Is this a cartoon? Everything I've seen about this movie looks so bad! Don't like Julia anymore, her last few movies bombed!

    Very few "red-heads" are what I'd consider "fine," but just one kiss from her, I could die a satisfied a happy man. I married my childhood sweetheart who was "Christmas Queen, and most attractive senior girl. (looks like "Patti" has a guilty conscience! Randy has probably never BEEN kissed in his life/.............

    @Melissa Warden: 'TARSEM tells Entertainment Weekly that Roberts' character "outsources her evil, just like most people. I wanted a person who is just schizophrenic." ' Not Julia.

    Melissa: Tarsem Singh said that, not Julia.

  • October 12, 2011 - 5:14am Melissa Warden

    I wish she wouldn't use the term schizophrenic like that.

  • October 10, 2011 - 2:28pm Randy Bellows

    I saw her in person about 8 years ago. Nothing to look at..really.

  • October 10, 2011 - 1:25pm Isabel Lani

    Nice photoshop and make up work! If she really wanted to scare, she should go en nature...saw her a few month ago on a market in LA, and it wasn't pretty. She is not aging well, and she is so overrated as an actress. Any Lily Collins? Please...she is a daughter, and that's that. Waiting for Kristen Stewarts Snow White, seems to be at least different, and Kirsten looked fantastic on the first pictures, more Neil Gaiman-like and unconventional.
