Kristen Stewart Closes The Deal For ‘Snow White And The Huntsman’
Sometimes people get a pinch too excited over a bit of news and can’t help but tell everyone what’s going on before they’re supposed to. That’s the case today with “Snow White and the Huntsman” producer Palak Patel who revealed a lot sooner than he should have that actress Kristen Stewart is closing the deal to play the fairest of them all. She was rumored to play Snow White in the latest re-telling of the classic tale, but now this unexpected news further shows that this will become a casting reality. That’s not good news for everyone, since there’s been an online groan over the casting ever since the rumor first rose to the surface, but we’ll just have to deal with it.
Although Patel immediately erased his “tweet” that he posted on his Twitter account about the deal, this is what he said: “KStew is officially playing Snow White and her deal is in final negotiations and will close next week.”
Kristen Stewart will be joining a cast that includes Viggo Mortensen and Charlize Theron. Rupert Sanders is directing the Universal Pictures production written by Evan Daugherty. This version of “Snow White” begins the same, centering on the Evil Queen (Theron) who hires a Huntsman (Mortensen) to bring the fair maiden into the woods just to kill her. Instead he spares her life and the two end up going on the run, teaching Snow how to defend herself against the Queen.
Principal photography for “Snow White and the Huntsman” begins later on this year with a release date set for December 21st, 2012.
