KRISTEN STEWART DROPPED FROM 'SNOW WHITE' SEQUEL?

August 15, 2012, 1:26 pm

After Kristen Stewart was busted cheating on boyfriend Robert Pattinson with 'Snow White and the Huntsman' director Rupert Sanders, someone was always going to get dropped from the franchise. The question until now was whether it would be leading lady Kristen Stewart, or director Rupert Sanders.

Now it appears that the movie studio who made the film, Universal Pictures, has made its choice.According to The Hollywood Reporter, the studio -- who had already approved a sequel -- hasn't actually dropped Kristen Stewart per se, but is 'reimagining' the franchise to focus on Chris Hemsworth's character, The Huntsman, instead. Their sources suggest that if the film goes ahead, it will be a spin-off similar to 'Wolverine' from 'The X-Men' franchise.

The screenwriter for 'Snow White and the Huntsman', David Koepp, has also been dropped from the follow-up film."The studio is currently exploring options to continue the franchise," a Universal spokeswoman says.At this stage it's unclear if Rupert Sanders will return to work on the following film, although one source suggests that he will.

'Snow White' grossed a modest $329 million at the global box office, from a $170 million production budget. Given Kristen is the highest paid actress in Hollywood right now, shaving her hefty fee would assist in a higher return if a follow-up film ever does make its way to the box office.Watch our interview with Chris Hemsworth and Rupert Sanders for 'Snow White and the Huntsman'

She is one of those women that look stinky. Can't decribe what I mean, but when I look at her I know that she stinks. Sort of like old socks - yeah, that kind of smell. She has a stinky looking face. does anybody else know what I mean?

All you people saying she can't act are delusional and just plain jealous. You're living in the past and not understanding that acting has changed. Liz taylor wouldn't even be considered a decent actress these days. I don't like stewart for what she has done to her boyfriend but she is still a very good actress.
