Kristen Stewart Confirms 'Snow White' Sequel

Actress Kristen Stewart has confirmed she will reprise her starring role in the sequel to Snow White and the Huntsman after her headline-grabbing "indiscretion" with the film's director earlier this year.

The Twilight star was photographed kissing moviemaker Rupert Sanders, who is married to model Liberty Ross, over the summer and the story led to speculation over whether the actress would be axed from the planned follow-up.

However, Stewart has now insisted she will be involved in the second film, but she remained tight-lipped about the details.

She tells Indiewire.com, "Oh, it's gonna be f**king amazing. No, I'm so excited about it, it's crazy. The other day I said that there was a strong possibility that we're going to make a sequel, and that's very true, but everyone was like, 'Whoa, stop talking about it'. So no, I'm totally not allowed to talk about it."

Stewart has since patched up her relationship with long-term boyfriend and Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson.  

Kristen Stewart Says 'Snow White' Is 'Everything I Wanted'

Those familiar with the Hollywood moviemaking process likely know that what is first scripted on the page, and then performed by the actors, and then released unto the masses doesn't always turn out to be an accurate representation of what was initially written. Scripts change, performances alter. In short, after an actor wraps their work on any particular production, they can't be totally sure about what will end up on screen until they see a finished cut of the film.

That does not seem to be the case with the highly anticipated "Snow White and the Huntsman", in that star Kristen Stewart recently revealed that director Rupert Sanders' brilliant plans became a brilliant film.

"I was so excited," Stewart said of her reaction upon seeing the finished product. What's unique, she said, is that the movie is just as "cool" as its concept art — the sketches, storyboards or short videos that directors and producers often assemble in order to sell studios and actors on the concept behind a movie.

"That's the way Rupert Sanders got the job as director of this movie, by putting together a five-minute version of the movie and presenting the darkness and lightness of the world. I thought that it was insane because it felt like two different people did it, it was so, so beautiful when it was light and so exuberantly happy, and then when it was dark it was wretched and disgusting. I think when I first saw the movie I saw that. It was like, 'Wow.' Everything I wanted it to feel like, everything I wanted to say, it's there."

Kristen Stewart - Kristen Stewart was a 'Baby' On Set Of Action- PAcked Snow White Film

Actress Kristen Stewart realised she wasn't as tough as she thought she was after struggling to get to grips with the heavy action sequences in Snow White And The Huntsman.

The star tackles light action scenes in the Twilight vampire franchise and she was sure that was enough experience to prepare her for the battles she would fight in the dark adaptation of the classic fairytale.

But Stewart was left licking her wounds when she actually stepped onset with her co-stars Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron - and she ended up hurting her hand and injuring her foot when certain stunts went wrong.

She tells Mtv.com, "It's funny too because I became such a baby on the movie. I was scared of so much that I didn't think that I was going to be.

"I tasted little bits of action in other movies, and I thought that I was such a huge bada**. I was like, 'I love it. Honestly, I just love how it (doing an action scene) makes you feel. It feels real. You get to actually do it, and then at the end, you're not like I faked it.' I faked a lot. It was hard. I hurt myself, but it was fun."

Kristen Stewart took the stage for the second time at Comic-Con on Saturday afternoon as part of Universal's panel for Snow White and the Huntsman. Though the film's intriguing cast which also includes Chris Hemsworth (Thor One glance as Stewart donning armor and a shield in the role of Snow White fortifies Universal's description of the project as being darker, edgier and more adult than the competing The Brothers Grimm: Snow White film currently in production at Relativity or the classic Disney take. Stills of Hemsworth as The Huntsman and Theron as the Evil Queen show each character gripping a weapon as well.

Snow White and the Huntsman will also stray from Disney's Snow White by utilizing eight dwarves instead of seven. Those dwarves will be played by Nick Frost (Paul), Ian McShane (Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides), Ray Winstone, Toby Jones and others.

Universal will release Snow White and the Huntsman on June 1, 2012, approximately three months after Relativity's The Brothers Grimm: Snow Whitestarring Lily Collins, Julia Roberts, Armie Hammer and Sean Bean arrives in theaters on March 16, 2012.

Trilogy planned for ‘Snow White and the Huntsman’ with Kristen Stewart

Snow White and the Huntsman may have more to overcome than just one clash with the Evil Queen.

Producer Joe Roth tells EW that he plans on making the folktale action-adventure movie into a trilogy. “It’s meant to be the first in a series of films,” he said. “This story will end, but there will be questions remaining for these three characters.”

It’s an ambitious move by the Alice in Wonderland producer, who is in a neck-and-neck competition with a rival Snow White film starring Julia Roberts. Shooting is already underway on that movie, while Roth’s film — which stars Kristen Stewart and Thor‘s Chris Hemsworth as the title characters and Charlize Theron as her wicked royal highness — begins principal photography in August.

The two movies will open roughly two-and-a-half months apart next year. Roth’s movie debuts second, on June 1, but he’s hoping audience’s will be drawn in by a Lord of the Rings-style take on the centuries-old tale.

“We retain the basic story in the same way we retain the basic story of Alice, a young girl meant to be the queen who is cast out,” Roth says. “The Huntsman is a mercenary, in the sense that he’s a guy who is very able in the woods, more able than most anyone. His job is to capture runaway girls, who are all fleeing the kingdom because of the queen. He’s a nondescript bounty hunter, as we first meet him.”

But he’s no killer, Roth stresses. Snow White’s bounty is the first time he has been directed to return with only a part of the missing girl — her heart. When he finds he doesn’t have it within his to cut hers out, the two become unlikely allies — at first fleeing the Queen’s forces, and then mounting a counterattack on her kingdom.

“He’s not a nice guy, but not only that he’s someone who has lost hope and lost faith. He has lost his wife, given up on everything,” the producer says.

This take on the character of Snow White is also different from the sweetly-singing princess we’ve seen before. “She starts out not a damsel in distress, but innocent, and after 11 years of imprisonment by the Evil Queen, she escapes and learns the ways of a warrior in the woods,” according to Roth.

If the previous work of first-time feature director Rupert Sanders is any indication, expect major battle sequences. Sanders is known for harrowing (and sometimes hilarious) live-action ads for videogames Halo 3 and Call of Duty, as well as the NSFW short-film adaptation of the graphic novel Black Hole.

As for casting Stewart in the role: “Frankly, what we did, we searched high and low for an unknown. Which was my want after Alice,” he says. “As we went through it, it just became evident to me that Kristen occupies a space in the universe where she’s a terrific actress only known for one part. I hope this is a movie that will appeal to those who find Twilight appealing, but also [Stewart] is someone who has some piss and vinegar in her.”

If the “fairest of them all” is described that way, imagine how the Evil Queen will be. ”She’ll be larger than life,” Roth chuckles. “Evil without any burden of guilt.”

Expect more details when Snow White and the Huntsman makes its presentation at Comic-Con later this month.
