Kristen Stewart Dumped From "Snow White and the Huntsman" SequelPosted by: artemis on Aug 15, 2012 Tagged in: Beehive Blog

Oh dear! According to Hollywood Reporter, Universal has reportedly dropped Snow White from the Snow White and the Huntsman sequel and proceed with just The Huntsman, focusing on Chris Hemsworth's character. You know how over the years Kristen Stewart has been pictured giving THE FINGER to whoever catches her fancy? Well, it seems as though, the Universe is finally giving her THE FINGER back.
Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that the sequel to June's Snow White, which starred Stewart, Hemsworth and Charlize Theron, is being reconceived as a spinoff movie. It's unclear whether director Rupert Sanders will return, though one source with ties to the production says he will. However, screenwriter David Koepp, who had been hired to pen the continuation of the original film, is being settled out of his rich contract, according to sources, as the project is being transformed into something other than the movie that Koepp had been hired to write. "The studio is currently exploring options to continue the franchise," a Universal spokeswoman says.
The move comes in the wake of Stewart, 22, and the married Sanders, 41, apologizing publicly for a romantic affair after compromising photos of the duo were published in July. (Stewart was dating her Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson.) While it might have been awkward for Stewart and Sanders to reunite for a sequel, it is not clear why the decision to move forward without Stewart was made. It is highly unusual for Hollywood studios to drop stars of franchises between the first and second installments. The original plan, according to sources, was to make two films featuring the Snow White character and a third film spinning off the Huntsman, similar to how Fox's X-Men series has spun off Wolverine.
Hold on, hold on, HOLD ON...
Okay, so the much older, married cheater with kids, Rupert Sanders is still attached to direct and Kristen Stewart has been kicked to the curb. That's very interesting because it's fairly known that the only reason the movie did well in the first place was because of Kristen's huge fanbase, not Charlize Theron or Chris Hemsworth -- although he does have mighty fine arms — and certainly not the nobody first-time director. Kristen's popularity put butts into seats, period.
I get it, Kristen's perceived as a spoiled, snotty, BRAT who flips people off and was thrust into the stratosphere of superstardom because of Twilight. She's still all of those things but she's added home-wrecker to her long list of disagreeable traits. There's a reason she's called a BRAT and that's because she's still 22 years old and at that age, you make mistakes, lot's of them. In fact, you're supposed to make mistakes. I'm not defending Kristen, merely pointing out the old double standard. This sequel should just go far, far away.
