From Twilight to Snow White

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Kristen Stewart is on the top of the list to play Snow White in Universal’s new movie, ‘Snow White and the Huntsman’.

The movie, being directed by Rupert Sanders, is in deep casting mode, with Viggo Mortensen entering negotiations to play the Huntsman earlier Wednesday. Charlize Theron is in negotiations to play the evil queen.
Stewart is a name that Universal has kept coming back to since acquiring the project even as it went through a series of screen tests with actresses such as Riley Keough, Felicity Jones and Alicia Vikander. Emily Browning tested this past weekend (Stewart has reached a point in her career where testing isn’t required).
Stewart, arguably one of the biggest stars in the world thanks to the Twilight movies, has focused on indie projects in between the vampire romancers, and this could become her first studio project since becoming a name. It also would put her in the shoes of an iconic character.
The Gersh-repped actress is currently shooting the Breaking Dawn movies, but the Snow White team has been making repeated overtures even as late as last week.

What do you think? I’m on the fence with this casting. Snow White is a sweet, innocent, loving character. I’m not sure if Kristen can really pull off the sweet and innocent thing. She always looks a bit awkward onscreen – like she’s having her teeth pulled or something. Most characters she plays are more of the tortured type. Snow White seems like a bit of a stretch – I’d be impressed if she could pull it off.
