UNIVERSAL Deny KRISTEN STEWART Snub From HUNTSMAN Sequel!

 

Universal Pictures has slammed a Hollywood Reporter story that suggested Kristen Stewart had been axed from the planned sequel to ‘Snow White and the Huntsman‘ – according to Deadline.com!

 

In a direct response to the rumours, the studio issued this statement from Universal Co-Chairman Donna Langley, saying:

“We are extremely proud of Snow White And The Huntsman and we’re currently exploring all options to continue the franchise. Any reports that Kristen Stewart has been dropped are false.”

 

No firm plans have been drawn out in terms of the direction of the Huntsman sequels, and it has been revealed that David Koepp, who’d been hired in April to script a straight sequel, has not started work on this yet. There has been talk about focussing on the Huntsman character (played by Chris Hemsworth), but as he becomes an even larger name in Hollywood, will the studio be able to afford him a second time?

 

Whether this is true or not, it would seem that rumours soon began to circulate that Stewart had been dropped from the franchise altogether, fuelled by the witch hunt she has endured following her public apology for cheating on her partner Robert Pattinson.

 

There you have it!
