"Snow White and the Huntsman": Eddie Izzard, Bob Hoskins, Toby Jones cast as dwarfs

There are no small parts in Hollywood. But these days there are plenty of dwarf roles to go around.

Universal is ramping up its casting of the dwarfs in its high-profile "Snow White and the Huntsman" action adventure movie, with Eddie Izzard, Bob Hoskins and Toby Jones in negotiations to board the movie. Eddie Marsan ("Sherlock Holmes") and Steven Graham are in negotiations to play warriors in the film.

Evan Daugherty wrote the initial script and Evan Spiliotopoulos is currently working on it.

As Heat Vision first reported Monday, Ian McShane was cast first as the dwarf leader. The dwarf names are veering mightily away from the well-known Disney version, with McShane as Caesar, Jones as a timid dwarf named Claudius and Izzard will be Tiberius, described as the biggest and burliest of the crew. Hoskins will play Constantine, a blind dwarf.

Izzard, will be heard as part of the "Cars 2" voice cast. Hoskins, last appearerd in "Made in Dagenham". Jones will next be seen in "Captain America: The First Avenger" and does voicework in "The Adventures of Tintin". He next shoots a part in "Hunger Games".
