Universal Pictures really wants Kristen Stewart for 'Snow White'
Even though she's had little box office success outside of the "Twilight" franchise so far in her career, Universal Pictures wants Kristen Stewart and they want her bad.
The studio's tentpole "Snow White and the Huntsman" is a much different take on the classic "Snow White" tale. While Charlize Theron is rumored to be on board for the Evil Queen and Viggo Mortenson is in talks to play the Huntsman, Ms. White is still up in the air. A number of actresses including Riley Keough ("The Runaways"), Felicity Jones (in Sundance fav "Like Crazy"), Swedish up and comer Alicia Vikander and Emily Browning ("Sucker Punch") have auditioned for the role, they are still hoping Stewart will respond to their overtures. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the "Snow White" team has been reaching out to Stewart, who is shooting "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn" in Louisiana, as last as last week.
Stewart has used her off "Twilight" time to shoot indie fare such as "The Runaways" and "Welcome to the Rileys," but it may be time for her to settle into another studio role to cement her long term playability. Whether that will be "Snow White" remains to be seen.

January 29, 2011 at 2:24PM EST Reply to CommentKristen is in no way right for this role. What a joke! She's a horrible actress to begin with, and Snow White is supposed to be the fairest of them all, not an average-looking tomboy who rolls her eyes, bites her lips, breathes out of her mouth constantly, and whines about everything. If she takes this roll, she'll do what she does with every film she's ever been in: She'll play herself. And in the process she'll ruin the movie. Let's face it, they want her for her name, not her "talent".

Or maybe I was trying to say that Minka should be playing Wonder Woman... Dunno...

KRISTEN STEWART is the fairest of them all!!!
KRISTEN STEWART will again smash the box office as the Best Fantasy Actress!!!
KRISTEN STEWART can go all out with fight scence together with huntsman Viggo Mortensen!!!
KRISTEN STEWART is so popular that movie goers globally, internationally and of all ages young and old will watch her play SNOW WHITE!!!
Although many describe Kristen as girl with tough attitude, her facial features is adoringly stunning and georgeous! that's why she fits the role "Snow White and The Huntsman"! Although she likes to play her roles in Runaways, On the Road and Welcome to The Rileys, we think she's still perfect to play lead roles in fantasy movies!
