‘Snow White & The Huntsman’ Sequel: Kristen Stewart In, Rupert Sanders Out

After grossing nearly $400M at the worldwide box office, a sequel to Snow White & The Huntsman was immediately green lit. But, after it was revealed that star Kristen Stewart and director Rupert Sanders had been involved in an affair (cry about it some more Twilight fans) many wondered if either would be returning for the sequel.

There was also talk about just giving Chris Hemsworth’s Hunstman character his own spin-off film rather than a direct sequel. Well, earlier today it was revealed that Kristen Stewart has indeed signed on to reprise her role in the sequel but director Rupert Sanders will not be involved with the project.

“The script has already been written and production will begin late next year. 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.”

So, unless Chris Hemsworth signs on to reprise his role, I could definitely care less about this movie. The first one was enjoyable but that was mostly due to Sanders directing and Chris Hemsworth being involved. I am definitely interested to see who they bring on to direct though because that can definitely make or break this sequel.
