Kristen als Schneewittchen?!
Hollywoodreporter: "The Twilight star is on the list for the role of Snow White in Universal’s 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. "

Deadline: "With word circulating that Viggo Mortensen is in talks to play one of the title characters in the Rupert Sanders-directed Snow White and the Huntsman for Universal Pictures, will Twilight Saga's Kristen Stewart end up with playing Snow White? Though the studio has been testing young actresses and no one is set, there are persistent rumors that Stewart looms large as a potential lead. Mortensen surfaces in the lead of that movie in a role that had been rumored for Michael Fassbender. But Fassbender never had an offer and he committed to the Ridley Scott-directed Prometheus with Noomi Rapace and Charlize Theron. Ironically, Theron is also starring in Huntsmen as the Evil Queen. Stewart is repped by Gersh. Stay tuned..."

Celebs.gather:"Several young actresses are being tested for Rupert Sanders' "Snow White and the Huntsman," in which IMDB says that the huntsman doesn't just let her go but instead becomes her mentor and protector while helping her escape from the evil queen. It sounds like this will be a darker version of the original classic.
Kristen Stewart of "Twilight" fame tops the list of actresses up for the role. Production originally wanted to go with a fresh face; and, so far, the contenders are Felicity Jones, Swedish actress Alicia Vikander and Australian actress Bella Heathcote.
Charlize Theron is cast to play the evil queen, and there is talk about Viggo Mortensen playing the huntsman.
Kristen Stewart is one of America's sweethearts, and her look is perfect for a part in a dark, creepy fairy tale. Who better to portray naivete and innocence yet with a mysterious edge?
Viewers will just have to wait and see, but rumor has it that teenage masses are rooting for Kristen.

Moviefone: "Universal has conducted screen tests with actresses such as Riley Keough, Felicity Jones, Alicia Vikander and Emily Browning, the studio has its heart set on Stewart (with no screen test required).....The film will begin shooting this summer with a Dec. 21, 2012, release date"

Screenrant: "Stewart’s casting in this retelling of The Brothers Grimm story would mark her first major studio lead role outside of the Twilight franchise since it began and a departure from her less-mainstream indie fare as of late. Snow White and the Huntsman is one of three different Snow White movies in development"

Empire: "...they’ve been testing various talents, but Universal is apparently to either secure the talents of a draw like Kristen Stewart or track down an unknown..they’ll have to find someone before summer, as the aim is to have the movie shooting then for a December 2012 release"
