Julia Roberts is no longer the most beautiful in the kingdom. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actress, recently seen in Eat, Pray, Love, has signed to play the Wicked Queen in a new film adaptation of Snow White, that the studio is currently developing Relativity Media. "Julia has always been our first choice to play the Queen, "the studio said in a statement.

"It's an icon and we know she will perform this role in a way that only she can do." The shooting of the film, directed by Tarsem Singh (The Cell), scheduled to begin next April for release in U.S. theaters already scheduled for June 29, 2012. Produced by Brett Ratner (of the series Prison Break), this Snow White will be a modern replay of the account of the famous Brothers Grimm.

The film is not to be confused with another adaptation of Snow White, which is currently developing Universal. Called Snow White And The Hutsman, this version should see Kristen Stewart play Snow White (Read our news), while Charlize Theron encamp certainly atrocious evil stepmother in beauty.

We can already imagine a match between the evil queen Julia Roberts and Charlize Theron. It may be tight!
