Producer Joe Roth is looking to re-team with his "Alice in Wonderland" star Johnny Depp. The Oscar-nominated actor has been offered the male lead in Universal's upcoming tentpole "Snow White and the Huntsman," an individual familiar with the project has told TheWrap.

When pressed for comment, Depp's representation at UTA referred TheWrap to Universal, which refused to comment on casting rumors/offers.

The revisionist take on the classic fairy tale marks the feature directorial debut of acclaimed British commercials director Rupert Sanders, who will be working from a buzzworthy spec script by Evan Daugherty that was the subject of an intense Hollywood bidding war before Universal snapped it up for $1.5 million against more than $3 million.
