A Hollywood film crew have descended on Pembrokeshire to shoot scenes for a new film.

Scenes for Snow White and the Huntsman, directed by Rupert Sanders, will be shot on Marloes Sands near Dale, where construction on the film set has already begun. The film crew headquarters is being set up east of Sandy Lane.

Filming is thought to be getting underway on Monday. It is believed 80 horses will gallop towards Gateholm Island, where a castle will be digitally superimposed.

Due for release next summer, the film boasts a distinguished cast including Twilight star Kirsten Stewart who plays Snow White, Charlize Theron, Chris Hemsworth, Lily Cole, Ray Winstone and Bob Hoskins.

It is believed to be a twist to the fairy tale, with the Huntsman who is ordered to take Snow White into the woods to be killed winds up becoming her protector and mentor in a quest to vanquish the Evil Queen.
