Snow and the 7?

Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael Chabon will write " Snow and the Seven," an East-meets-West retelling of " Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," for Walt Disney Pictures.

Hong Kong director Yuen Wo Ping will make his English-language debut on the film.

" Snow and the Seven" will be set in 1880s British colonial China and will have fantasy and martial arts elements, with the " seven" being Shaolin monks. The story also will hearken back to aspects of the original Grimm Brothers' fairy tale.

Chabon is the author of " Wonder Boys" and " The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay," which won him the 2001 Pulitzer for literature. Chabon also was a writer on " Spider-Man 2."

Yuen Wo Ping is a veteran of the Hong King action scene, with almost 30 films to his credit, including " Iron Monkey" and " The Red Wolf." He also was the action choreographer on the " Kill Bill" movies and " The Matrix" films.
