Report: Kristen Stewart Will Return For Snow White & The Huntsman 2; Rupert Sanders Is Out
November 20, 2012 by Hollywoodite
Kristen Stewart readily admitted on the red carpet for Breaking Dawn: Part Two that she hadn’t worked steadily in months. There was no need for her to explain that it’s because no one wanted to touch her after the cheating scandal AND she removed herself from the running for several movies.
But now there’s one project to which she can say she’s attached: the sequel to the movie during the filming of which she had an affair with a married director only to get caught by a supermarket weekly.
For some reason wanting anything to do with the sequel, given what happened last time and the inevitable spurious claims about with whom she’s cheating during filming, Stewart is reportedly attached to pre-production for which there’s a script and a start date. Whereas her former lover, Rupert Sanders, is reportedly out.
As Kristen Stewart sulks down the red carpet promoting the final movie in the Twilight series, the actress has signed on to reprise her role in Snow White and the Huntsman, but director Rupert Sanders, who was caught making out with [Stewart] in her car earlier this year, won’t be a part of the project.
“The script has already been written and production will begin late next year,” a source close to the situation tells Radar. “However, Rupert Sanders definitely won’t be a part of the project. Rupert didn’t want to be a part of it to begin with because he is desperately still trying to save his marriage. The search is still on for a new director.”
As… previously reported, Stewart released a statement shortly after news broke of her affair with Sanders insisting that it was a “momentary indiscretion” but there were several reports that the affair lasted for “months.”
The affair resulted in a dramatic bust-up of Stewart’s romance with her Twilight costar Robert Pattinson, but after months apart, the pair has reconciled.
Meanwhile, Kristen is panicking about her career prospects following filming of Snow White.
“Kristen is extremely concerned about her acting career,” the insider says. “Other than the Snow White sequel she isn’t attached to any other projects. There are scripts coming in, but not as many good ones as she would like. It’s distressing to Kristen that Rob is attached to four separate movies over the next year-and-a-half. Even her Twilight co-stars, Taylor Lautner and Ashley Greene, are more in demand than ever, with both committed to two different movies each. Kristen just hopes that that the fallout over her relationship with Rupert doesn’t hurt her career.” – via RadarOnline.
