'Snow White and the Huntsman' Wins for the most buzz & anticipation at Comic Con

In his excellent new Kindle essay, "Comic-Con Strikes Again," Douglas Wolk observed "that showing up at Comic-Con and impressing ultra-fans has become an obligation for everyone who works on anything that has fans. If your company is launching a big fantasy film or sci-fi TV series of massively multiplayer video game in the next year, you have to be there. No way around it.” But now that the dust has settled from this year’s Comic-Con and said fans been sated, the question remains: Who won Comic-Con?


Among the non-superhero movies, the Comic-Con effect was actually even more pronounced. Snow White and the Huntsman saw a 3,466% spike in interest after its Saturday panel, making it the Anticipation Index's Most Improved for the weekend … but since then, it's lost more than 98% of its buzz, sending it down to number 48. Soderbergh's Haywire debuted a trailer at the convention, and saw a 2,476% spike as a result (down almost 98% now), and Nicholas Refn's Drive shot up 1,388% after director Nicholas Winding Refn's panel discussion and the release of the film's trailer. Drive is now down 95% and out of the Anticipation Index top 50; a little worrisome, given that it comes out next month.


So, what can we conclude? Though both Amazing Spider-Man and Avengers saw big drops in their buzz in just the two weeks since Comic-Con (95% and 89% respectively), they still remain near the top of the Index, and neither is coming out until the middle of next year. They have a strong foothold in the public consciousness, which Comic-Con boosted.


More surprising was the impressive showing of Snow White and the Huntsman, which does come with a brand name and news-making, well-respected actors -- Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron, Eddie Izzard, and Ian McShane -- but no superheroes. The film has been at the center of a rivalry with Tarsem Singh's unnamed Snow White film, which is currently scheduled to come out a mere two-and-a-half months before Huntsman. Huntsman may have settled back from its Comic-Con high, but it has a whole year to gain momentum, and with a solid cast and a rock solid rivalry to play on, it will. 


Winner: Snow White and the Huntsman.

3. First Look at Universal’s SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN

Granted, there are enough Snow White projects currently circulating Hollywood that over-saturation is less a possibility and more an inevitability. Nevertheless, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t at least a little intrigued by the grittiness and slightly darker tone that director Rupert Sanders’ Snow White and the Huntsman looks to embody.Click here to check out the first look at the film along with Adam’s recap of its Comic-Con panel.

Kristen Stewart Excited For "Snow White and The Huntsman"

In between the two “Breaking Dawn” movies, you’ll see Kristen Stewart starring as the title character in “Snow White and the Huntsman.”  (Kristen, of course, will be Snow White, not the Huntsman.)  When you think of Snow White, it’s not exactly the edgy kind of character you associate with Kristen these days… or is it?

She’s talking about director Rupert Sanders there… Kristen will be starring alongside Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron in the movie, which opens in theaters everywhere next June 1st.
