Above is a stunning closeup of Kristen Stewart as a warrior Snow White in Rupert Sanders' upcoming Snow White and the Huntsman. Some have remarked that Charlize Theron's Evil Queen would never have been jealous of a little girl like the Bella Swan of the Twilight movies — but this picture proves them dead wrong. In fact, it's easy to see why the Evil Queen's mirror, mirror would find Snow White the most beautiful of them all.
Snow White and the Huntsman, which also stars Thor and The Avengers' Chris Hemsworth as the second half of the title, opens (via Universal) on June 1. Others in the cast are Sam Claflin as Prince William, Ray Winstone, Ian McShane, Bob Hoskins, Toby Jones, Eddie Marsan, Lily Cole, Vincent Regan,Noah Huntley, and Nick Frost.
Relativity Media's "rival" version, Tarsem Singh's Mirror Mirror, opens March 30. It stars Lucy Collins as Snow White, Julia Roberts as the Evil Queen, and Armie Hammer as Prince Charming. I have "rival" between quotes because anyone who has seen the trailers for both Mirror Mirror and Snow White and the Huntsman know that those movies are as different as, say, Catherine Hardwicke's Twilight and Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula.
Also in 2012, Kristen Stewart will likely be seen in Walter Salles' eagerly awaited On the Road, co-starring Sam Riley, Garrett Hedlund, Amy Adams, Kirsten Dunst, and Viggo Mortensen; and in the final installment of the Twilight Saga movies, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2, with Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Kellan Lutz, Ashley Greene, and dozens of other vampires and werewolves — plus a scattered few humans.
