Armie Hammer is Snow White's Prince

He's already played a dizzyingly hot, Harvard-educated Olympian, but now Armie Hammer is gearing up for something even… better?

We guess that depends on how you feel about royalty.

Hammer has officially closed the deal to play Prince Andrew Alcott in "The Brothers Grimm: Snow White," which promises to be a heart-pumping retelling of one of the most beloved fables of all time.

Helmed by director Tarsem Singh, this version will slant toward a modern tale full of comedy and adventure, Deadline reports.

After her evil stepmother kills her father and destroys the kingdom, Snow White bands together with a gang of seven quarrelsome dwarfs to reclaim what is rightly hers.

Hammer joins Academy Award-winner Julia Roberts, who will play opposite him as the infamous Queen—and possibly Saoirse Ronan, who is rumored to be up for the title role.

Pre-production has already begun and the release date is set for June 29, 2012.

But don't worry; you don't have to wait that long to see Hammer strut across the silver screen. He's already filming Clint Eastwood's "J. Edgar" with our boy Leonardo DiCaprio, which should be out early next year.
