Kristen Stewart chooses fairy tale over franchise

NEWS - MOVIE NEWS

Is anyone else thinking that the mirror is going to have a tough time choosing?

Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron could play Snow White and the Evil Queen respectively in 'Snow White and the Huntsman' (2012)?

Kristen Stewart is having a big week. While filming an adaptation of Jack Kerouac's On the Road (picture below) she was reportedly considered for the part of Lois Lane playing opposite Henry Cavill's Superman. However, as Stewart is notoriously publicity-shy, Comic Book Movie reported that she 'wasn't ready to jump into another potential multi-film franchise'. Close on the heels of that decision, Entertainment Weekly announced today that she has been offered the part of Snow White in the upcoming Snow White and the Huntsman. Also rumored are Charlize Theron as the Evil Queen and Viggo Mortenson as the Huntsman.

While Snow White may not offer the opportunity for a multi-series franchise, it's a far cry from the indie movies Stewart has been making outside of the interminable Twilight movies. Adventureland, Welcome to the Rileys, The Runaways; all smaller-budget films in which she played alternatively a surly teen, a surly teen stripper, and a surly teen punk rock legend. Should the Snow White rumor come to pass let's hope that we don't get a surly teen fairy-tale princess.

Hearing that she's passing on the role of Lois Lane is great news. And I didn't think they could think of a worse actress than Kate Boswell for the role.

2+ hours of Boswellian whining in Superman Returns made The Man Of Steel look even worse for having the faintest interest in her. When he was sky-stalking her you could almost hear him think 'Gee, I sure do miss back when you were Margot Kidder'.

Margot Kidder was sooo much better than these two "ladies". I don't know why they didn't just offer the cast of Smallville a bunch of money to do a film version, but I guess that would negate the idea of rebooting the franchise.

Parker Posey got the wrong role in Superman Returns - she would have made a briliant Lois Lane, and a nice segue from Kidder's take on the character.

I don't think the mirror will have any trouble at all. I really think Kristen is fairer. If she does go on to do this film, it will be quite interesting.
