Kristen Stewart Not Dropped From 'Snow White' Sequel

Rumours yesterday, truth today.

From MTV:

Reports of Kristen Stewart being dropped from a proposed "Snow White and the Huntsman" sequel have been greatly exaggerated. Universal co-chair Donna Langley issued a statement to MTV News on Wednesday (August 15) confirming that no such action had been taken. "We are extremely proud of 'Snow White and the Huntsman' and we're currently exploring all options to continue the franchise," she said. "Any reports that Kristen Stewart has been dropped are false." The statement follows a story published Tuesday by The Hollywood Reporter, which intimated that the fairy-tale film's follow-up would be reconceived as a spin-off, focusing largely on the Huntsman character played by Chris Hemsworth. Though the trade magazine made mention of Stewart's affair with "Snow White and the Huntsman" director Rupert Sanders, the report also noted that "it is not clear why the decision to move forward without Stewart was made." It is not known whether Sanders will return to direct the sequel. The first film, co-starring Charlize Theron and Sam Claflin, has grossed $389.28 million worldwide.
