And the Backlash Begins: Kristen Stewart Dropped from “Snow White” Sequel

“Universal has decided to shelf its planned Snow White and the Huntsman sequel and is instead focusing on a solo Huntsman movie starring Chris Hemsworth. Kristen Stewart will not be invited to return if the follow-up goes forward.”[THR]

As Robert Pattinson continues to make him media rounds to promote his new release of the week, Cosmpolis, his ex (?) Kristen Stewart is facing the full fledged backlash from studios that don’t seem to trust her around their eye-roving directors. Rupert Sanders, the director with whom she had the much publicized fling that inspired the ire of Team Edward, is reportedly set to return to helm the sequel of Snow White, which raises the question: if Sanders can be invited back to the film and trusted to behave professionally, why not Stewart? Is the old Boys Club back in full swing, ostracizing women while turning their heads from men accused of the same indiscretions? I’m hardly a fan of Stewart’s but I have to say this one reeks of archaic double standards. Hopefully, the franchise dead.

Hey Moe, not sure why the next comment changed names to mine. I didn't make it and it was already here on this thread before I commented. The time changed on it too. I didn't reply to it.

I wouldn't necessarily say that the director got away with it. Who knows if he gets divorced or what his next job is? I haven't seen any KStewart movies yet, am I lucky?

He is the director and she's a terrible actress, it was as easy as that.

and for the record, she was horrible in the film.

She simply can't act, so unless she starts doing more Twilight-esque films, I just see her popping out shitters until she finally fizzles out.

wow, the industry is really taking this seriously.

why can men fuck around, but when a chick does it, she gets bitch slapped?

I don't get it.

it is a sexist move but the director brings more to the table than she does for this movie, she will be fine long term
