Universal Pictures is set to give the world a new view of the classic fairy tale. But when we say new, we actually mean they're giving you the REAL story. With a hauntingly darker tone, top notch visual effects, adrenaline pumping action sequences, and slew of talent actors and actress such as Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth, and Charlize Theron, It is clear this defiantly no fairy tale. We’ll see if even this more darker retelling can still end in happily ever after when Snow White and The Huntsman arrives in theaters on June 1st.

Prometheus (20th Century Fox, June 8th)

In 1979, film director Ridley Scott gave the world Alien, a terrifying Sci-fi horror classic that set the bar for other film of the genre. 33 years later, Scott returns to his horror roots with Prometheus. Headline by an impressive crop of talent such as Michael Fassbender, Chalize Theron, Idris Elba, and many more, Prometheus has become one of the more intriguing entries into the Summer Movie Season. Mystery, suspense, and all out creepiness surround this potential summer blockbuster. But you can't expect anything less from Ridley Scott film. Will the Prometheus gang's search for our beginning lead to our end? We will see when Prometheus lands in theaters on June 8th.

Merida explores the dangers that lurk outside of her Kingdom

Brave (Walt Disney Pictures/Pixar Animation Studios, June 22nd)

For years, Disney and Pixar have been the purest example of consistency when it comes to making movies. Each one their films from Toy Story 1, 2, & 3, Finding Nemo, Wall-E, and Up have been some of the greatest acts of storytelling over the past decade. However, after a less than impressive reception brought in by Cars 2, Disney and Pixar have found themselves for the first time on the negative side of universal acclaim. But the studios will look to change their fate with Brave, their latest fantasy adventure told through the eyes of their heroic heroine Merida. Based on what has been seen, Brave seem to be just what Pixar needs to get back in the fans and critics good graces. The ultimate test of courage, love, and sacrifice will be on full display when Brave comes to theaters on June 22nd.
