"I decided for the evil queen, this is going to be a person who sees her good self - but there's a mirror personality."And, in keeping with her character, she prefers to let others do her dirty work. "She outsources her evil, just like most people," says Singh. "I wanted a person who is just schizophrenic. She's a person who would just do all the evil she needs to do to stay in power."As for poor old Snow, she's a victim of circumstance who ends up teamed with the seven dwarfs to help overthrow her stepmother. "They all train her in different things," the director says.{New Snow White Pics}There's more from Singh over at EW.

It's out in the US on March 16, so expect it shortly after that.Update: People magazine has added a few new images.
