According to HP
Kristen Stewart is the fairest them of all. The Twilight star is in negotiations to star in Snow White and the Huntsman, putting her on the road to topline the movie alongside Viggo Mortensen and Charlize Theron for Universal’s take on the fairy tale.
The deal is not done and could still fall apart, but both sides want it to happen. Stewart is a name that Universal kept coming back to since acquiring the project. Still, it went through a series of screen tests with actresses such as Riley Keough, Felicity Jones and Alicia Vikander. As The Hollywood Reporter previously reported, Stewart was still being courted as late as last week, and Universal finally made an offer over the weekend.
Commercial helmer Rupert Sanders is making his directorial debut on the pic, which amps up the action quotient from the fairy tale and plays up the relationship between White and the Huntsman. In the new scenario, when she is banished and on the run by the evil queen (Theron), the Huntsman (Mortensen) takes her under his wing to protect her, and she becomes his protege, learning how to fight and defend herself. Stewart is repped by Gersh.

From theplaylist
You gotta love who how careful everybody around “Snow White And The Huntsman” are being about Kristen Stewart taking on the titular role. Last week actress “loomed large as a potential lead” and now it seems things have taken one tiny step closer to Stewart locking the lead role.
Stewart is very much in demand as many studios want to take her “Twilight” tentpole power and plant it in their upcoming films. Earlier today it was reported that Stewart passed on the opportunity to read for Zack Snyder‘s “Superman” saying she didn’t want to fall into another media spectacle that comes with a franchise film, though we’re not really sure what the difference is here—both will be big, blockbuster projects. Anyway, “Snow White And The Huntsman” is set to be directed by Rupert Sanders and clearly, Universal wants to start moving on this production as its already slated for juicy holiday release of December 21, 2012.
