Universal Pictures has just released the second trailer for The Huntsman: Winter’s War starring Chris Hemsworth reprising his role as the title character and Charlize Theron, who also returns to reprise her role as Ravenna, the Evil Queen. The film is a prequel and sequel of sorts that is set before and after the events of Snow White And The Huntsman. Trust me, the trailer doesn’t make it exactly clear which one of the two it is. The two will be joined by Emily Blunt, who plays Freya, the Ice Queen and sister of Raveena, and Jessica Chastain, Sara, the Warrior, Eric’s (Hemsworth) lover.

Check out the latest trailer for the film below.

Universal has released the first trailer for The Huntsman: Winter’s War starring Chris Hemsworth as the title character. In the film, Freya the Ice Queen (Emily Blunt) summons her greatest warriors to retrieve the all-powerful mirror that could revive her older sister, Queen Ravenna (Charlize Theron). Jessica Chastain also stars as Sara, The Warrior, who will aide Eric, The Huntsman, in stopping Freya and Ravenna from carrying out their evil plan. Nick Frost also stars.

Check out the full trailer for the film here below.

The cast for the sequel to 2012’s Snow White and the Huntsman is getting more and more impressive, more than compensating for the removal of the Snow White character, who was played in the first movie by The Twilight Saga star Kristen Stewart.

Academy Award nominated actress Jessica Chastain is the latest to join the Universal Pictures production, which is simply titled The Huntsman at the moment. Also confirmed for the cast is Emily Blunt, who was reported to be in talks for a villain role in January when The Shawshank Redemption director and The Walking Dead creator Frank Darabont departed as director.

Something is amiss, as The Doctor (Peter Capaldi) rushes back to Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman) after receiving a dire warning from Santa Claus (Nick Frost). Something dark and disturbing is happening at the North Pole… who ya gonna call?

During TARDISblend 85, we discuss the mixed reactions from this year’s Doctor Who Christmas Special, but also some of the behind-the-scenes contractual issues that may have affected the BBC and Steven Moffat production.

Doctor Who
2014 Christmas Special “Last Christmas”
Directed by Paul Wilmshurst
Written by Steven Moffat
Starring Peter Capaldi, Jenna Coleman, Nick Frost, Samuel Anderson
BBC America
Air Date: Thursday, December 25, 2014

Will she, or won’t she? That is the question hanging over “Last Christmas,” the Doctor Who 2014 Christmas Special. Does Jenna Coleman as Clara Oswald stay for Series 9 or not? Real world considerations like contracts aside, there is unfinished business between Clara and the Doctor from the end of Series 8. There was the overt problem of Clara wanting her traveling life with Doctor, but a more challenging career as a teacher and a more settled home life with Danny Pink at the same time. Underneath all that was the problem that Clara and Peter Capaldi‘s Doctor were thrown together about a year ago and they’ve tried to get along as best as they can. Knowing what they now know, do they want to continue or just let it end?
