Kristen Stewart could be your new lip-biting, eye-rolling Snow White

wenn2749089

Agent Bedhead emailed me this morning with the news that our joint lover Michael Fassbender was no longer in discussions to play “The Huntsman” in the live-action Snow White reboot, Snow White and the Huntsman. Apparently, Fassbender is now in talks to do a Ridley Scott sci-fi… with my girl Noomi Rapace (Lisbeth Salander in the Swedish Millennium Trilogy films). Bedhead was depressed, because it means that we won’t get to see Fassbender wander around in tights. But I’m happy – because Snow White and the Huntsman is starting to sound like a hot mess. Guess who is in talks to play Snow White now? Kristen Stewart!!! Because Snow White was an angsty, lip-biting, eye-rolling, mouth-breathing, bad-postured, monotone little bitch. No wonder Fassbender pulled out, eh?

Is Kristen Stewart the fairest of them all? 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.

Ugh, Viggo is in talks too? Maybe when Viggo hears about K-Stew, he’ll pull out as well, because Viggo and K-Stew on screen together would be a million kinds of wrong.

I kind of hate that Kristen is one of the go-to young actresses now. I like her a bit more than Blake Lively, but basically Blake and Kristen are the same kind of actress: bad. Like, they have some tricks, but little method.

    Dopey will be her favorite!

  2. jaw says:

    she’s got a bit of potato head thing going on

  3. Lisa Turtle says:

    NO! A princess? Never. I really don’t care for this bratty ugly little thing. She should stick to “gritty” roles because frankly she looks like a little piece of trailer trash.

  4. jen says:

    I like Kristen but NO. Leighton Meester would be a good Snow White.

  5. Oi says:

    Geez. Are all these “updated” fairy tales and children’s stories necessary? I was done with the Damon/ledger Brothers Grimm.

    And yeah, she’s about the worst choice ever.

  6. gabs says:

    I don’t get why you hate her so much. Also you pick the worst pictures of her. I can actually see her as snow white. I read it was a darker grim version where the hunter is her protector and trains her or some crap like that. She wasn’t bad in Adventureland.Shes a decent actress. Im just saying, there are much worse to hate. Saying you like her a bit more than blake lively is sooo harsh. Twilight makes anyone look bad. I blame the writers and cheap budget, not her.

  7. EME says:

    this bitch……

  8. mln76 says:

    I am excited about the Ridley Scott movie apparantly either Angelina or Charlize Theron are going to star in it also. Either one would be a hot pairing with Fassbender.

  9. Tess says:

    @ jaw

    I was just thinking about her resemblance to Bruce and Demi’s spawn (sorry, brain freeze…can’t think of her name.).

  10. Eileen says:

    WHAT? If this happens you know it is hands down just so the crazy Twihards to come see it and that will make it a success in itself. What a joke.

    Also someone. Anyone? Please find me a pic where she looks like she is at least happy she exists. Her attitude is what makes me so insane.

  11. LittleFATMe says:

    OMG! He would be a drop dead sexi huntsman!

  12. anoneemouse says:

    Kristen is the younger version of Gwyneth Paltrow. Both feel “put upon” by their fame. Spare the public and go into hiding if you feel that way. I would not sad to see either go.

  13. Obvious says:

    Emily Browning would be fantastic. She doesn’t get near enough work, but she’s good.

  14. memory07 says:

    omg please dont i cant stand her she is a HORRIBLE actress. I love the twilight saga but im over it because of her lip biting and her lazy eye

  15. Quest says:

    Um No.

    A princess is sweet, she is not

    A princess is enchanting, hell she is not

    A princess has grace, beauty and a touch of a angel, I rest my case

    Maybe they should cast her as grumpy, dopey or any other nocturnal creature from the far beyond. She should be cast in Wizard of Oz. Poor Viggo

  16. Errr says:

    Viggo Mortensen and Kristen Stewart are in On The Road together. So that’s already happened and the universe didn’t explode. Further, Sony full-court pressed her for the Millennium Trilogy redux and she didn’t bite. All THR and Deadline reported was that Universal wanted her, not that she was even in talks with them (yet).

    I get it that people don’t like her. I don’t think she or the kind of movies she tends to make are for everyone. But her directors RAVE about her. Years later, they still go on and on about her. So there must be something to that.

  17. Whatever says:

    My husband was watching the Panic Room last night and I commented that she wasn’t bad in that movie and how she seems to get WORSE with each acting experience. It makes no sense. Also, since she is continuing to seek out movie roles, she can officially STFU about her privacy and how she can’t go to the mall, wah. I’m more sick of her angst than her acting.

  18. Rene says:

    Just read she isnt confirmed. The studio wants her but she hasnt said yes. Don’t get the hate. just because shes not outrageously beautiful and you hate twilight doesnt mean she isnt talented. I think shes gonna say no to this. She probably wants to do the indie thing and will feel like this is too fairy tale for her. I predict we’ll get a denial soon

  19. Arianna says:

    @ Whatever
    I always think that as well! she was pretty decent in panic room!!

    but anyway FUCK NO she’s a terrible choice for this!

    besides i always viewed snow white to be a young woman… not a boyish teen

  20. gia says:

    @Whatever:I AGREE!!!!

  21. Dan says:

    Snow White is supposed to be the most beautiful.

    Also the “studio wants her ” is complete bullshit. This was planted by her publicist the same as with the Millenium trilogy talk. She was never considered buy just like with Blake her PR puts her name out.

    Nikki Finke says it’s just rumours.

  22. almond says:

    @18.Rene Our hating twilight has nothing to do with the fact she is a bad actress. As others have already said, they’ve seen some of her other movies, and they don’t seem particularly impressed.

    And regarding beauty, that’s subjective. I think she has beautiful eyes (when she’s not rolling them like crazy) but I find her mouth and chin disproportionate and unflattering. And I like her body because I appreciate a lithe, slender figure more.

    @Whatever Some time ago some people were saying, more or less in jest, that the reason she’s getting progressively worse in her acting is because she’s smoking too much pot and fucking up her brain. I think it was around the time when the pictures of her smoking on her porch came out.

  23. Tammy says:

    PLEASE NO SHE WILL RUIN THE MOVIE. SHE HAS ZERO RANGE IN ACTING. ONLY GOOD AT PLAYING HERSELF.

    Acting according to K Stew is lip biting,stuttering,hair flipping,inhaling exhaling loudly ,softly,and blinking like a maniac.
    She is best to walk the runway.WOODDEN FACE WITH NO EXPRESSION,TALL AND SLIM AND LITERALLY FLAT CHESTED.
    She should do everybody a favour and leave acting and persue modelling instead

  24. almond says:

    @Tammy ITA. You said everything that needs to be said about her acting and career choice.

    And come on… This as Snow White?

  25. Scarlet Vixen says:

    I’m grumpy today, but I don’t care: Her constant mid-eyeroll bitch face offends me. She is mediocre at best.

  26. jaw says:

    and in what world would she be fairer than charlize theron? charlize freaking theron?!

  27. mia girl says:

    I love Viggo for this role and prefer him to Fastbender. Plus the thought of Viggo long haired, rough and dirty in tights like in LOTR, I am AAAAALLLLLLLL for that.

    Apathetic about Stewart for this role, except to say that I don’t think she is as bad as most commenters. If she could pull it off, I mean really work on transforming herself into Snow White, well then that would be impressive. No evidence yet to say she could, because I agree that she takes roles that play to her personality traits, but who knows?

    @jaw I’m not sure if there is a young actress out there today that can be fairer than Charlize! That’s a real casting challenge!

  28. junk573r says:

    I’ve seen panic room a few times on tv and I had no clue she was in it. I assume she’s Jodi Foster’s kid?

    My mother would take a crowbar to my face if she caught me looking that miserable at a red carpet. It’s disrespectful, juvenile, and unprofessional. It is work you ungrateful brat. She shoud go bag groceries or serve coffee like most 20 year olds if she thinks her job is so unbearable. She bugs the shit right out of me. Suck a nut Stewart.

  29. Stephanie says:

    Oh gag me with a fucking spoon!!!!!! Amy Adams should be the go-to princess, NOT this piece of cardboard. Good night.

    Have a casting call in the high schools across America, for f*ck’s sake. No way.

  30. Gwenevere says:

    @ Jaw – exactly! They’re going to have to look pretty hard to find someone fairer than Charlize. Kirsten is pretty (when she’s not scowling) but certainly not the fairest.

    That top picture is classic! The photog seems to have caught her mid eye-roll!

  31. Crash says:

    I think she is extremely pretty. always have. I don’t see the attraction to Blake Lively. She already looks like a hard used up tramp…but to each his own. It’s unfortunate her attitude is so bad because that directly affects how people perceive her in the looks and other departments. I’ve seen other of her movies and she’s not that bad. Someone should tell her there’s no shame in perhaps taking an acting class or two. Many a “star” has done it…after becoming “famous”. But they were self aware enough to realize they needed some help. Love Love Love Viggo.

  32. Cherry Rose says:

    I cannot stand this chick, who calls her own fans retards and calls being hounded by the paps as akin to being raped. WTF!?!

    She really does not deserve to be where she is and I cannot wait until she fades into obscurity and she starts to whine how no one pays any attention to her anymore.

    Karma’s going to be a bitch.

  33. mimi says:

    Ugh I’m not feeling this idea at all. She’s really only meant to play young angsty characters because that’s all she can do in my opinion.
    I agree Kaiser, she’s in the same boat with Lively for me.

  34. Tara says:

    http://www.dlisted.com/node/40590#comments

    Micheal K has the perfect analysis of this story.

    PS: only women with self-esteem issues consider this below average brat beautiful. But I guess that’s the point, they love anyone who doesn’t make them feel ugly.

  35. Winny says:

    Kill me now. I loved snow white as a kid, this will kill it. Ugh…i hope somehow SOMEHOW she manages a miracle. I don’t understand how she was good in speak then suddenly twilight happened and its like she stopped trying. Please please just TRY GIRL.

  36. bitchPlease says:

    She is always looking mad and pissed off, constant PMS.
    Thanks to parents who work in Hollywood she has the media on her side that writes those ridiculous articles praising her range that consinsts of her making every character look and behave like she does.

  37. crtb says:

    No!!!No!!!No!!!

  38. lucy2 says:

    I don’t think she’s THAT bad of an actress, a lot of that can be blamed on the utter lameness that is Twilight, but I don’t think she’s that great either and her attitude is a big turn off. I don’t think she’s right for this role at all, talent or looks wise. Surely there must be someone better out there.

    Agree about Charlize, it would be hard to find someone fairer than her! She is so beautiful.

  39. mia girl says:

    @ tara love and laughed at what Micheal K wrote but your comment…
    “PS: only women with self-esteem issues consider this below average brat beautiful. But I guess that’s the point, they love anyone who doesn’t make them feel ugly. ”

    That’s pretty vile.

    I’m not a super fan of this actress, but with all due respect, I and I imagine many other women who think she is attractive do not have self esteem issues AT ALL. I think Charlize is beautiful as well, so what does that say? Charlize is definitely more beautiful than the rest of us. Logic flawed…

    Maybe those who post vile comments like yours are the one’s with real issues… just saying.

  40. Lane says:

    Um Viggo has already worked with Kristen in “On The Road”.

    I would understand your dislike for Kristen if she acted dlike the rest of her peers. ie famewhoring, falling out of clubs drunk, and exposing all her naughty bits. However, she doesn’t do any of that. she keeps a low profile and picks roles with subtance.

    Love your snark but you are really off on this one

  41. Str8Shooter says:

    What’s the title going to be? Snow White on Prozac???

  42. loveyourwork says:

    ALL acting = interpretation of character.

    maybe she could pull it off.

  43. Liana says:

    I think she’s a pretty girl and I have no issues whatsoever with my self esteem.

  44. mimi says:

    Now I think Evan Rachel Wood would be good for this role. THAT is someone who I consider to be one of the best young actresses in Hollywood (but not recognized enough for it)! Can’t wait to see her and Kate Winslet in Mildred Pierce…

  45. Sally says:

    ^ Same here, Liana!

    Besides, how do we know that the Snow White reboot won’t have a snarky, sarcastic Snow White? I think she could do a great job 😀

  46. bitchPlease says:

    Lane: She showed her vagina in Australia during the Eclipse promo when she flipped off the entire country during her stay there.
    She was photographed drunk leaving the Welcome to the Riley’s premiere but the media doesn’t post those photos since they need Twilight.

    She smokes pot in the open, God knows what she does out of public’s eyes. She isn’t 21 yet she gets into clubs but people call Miley Cyrus out of control and give KS a pass.

  47. NoirlovesCats says:

    They are casting a junkie as Snow White?LMAO

  48. Kim says:

    Physically she fits the bill but she cant act and is to young for the role.

    Whoever plays Snow White should be a well known, older, seasoned actress. Angelica Houston would be perfect.

    I even heard Anne Hatahways name for this part and although i still think a little to young for the role she would be WAYYY better than this girl.

  49. Kim says:

    Krstin is worse than her peers as far as a girl with little acting ability who hit the jackpot. She is a bratty, over indulged, moron. She flashes her privates, flips people off including children, smokes pot in public, compalins about her fame (that she wanted), has been photographed absolutely wasted many times & she isnt even 21 is she?! She is a untalented wreck who better enjoy her 15 mins.

  50. Kim says:

    Someone said Charlize – yes! She would be perfect for this role.

  51. Emilie says:

    Well, what kind of Snow White is it going to be? If it’s an edgy Snow White, then she’d probably be good for the role.

    I like Kristen’s surliness. No one takes issue with surly male actors, but a female actress has to be all smiles and sunshine and cupcakes. Whatever.

  52. Meanchick says:

    Very overrated. Over it.

  53. Annicka says:

    But Snow White is supposed to be pretty. “Mirror, Mirror, on the wall, who’s the fairest one of all?” Betcha $100 the mirror would NOT say Kristen Stewart!

  54. Geekylove says:

    I Like her. I think she’s pretty and i round her method of actig subtle, reminds me of europeans art movies. And i’m 24, happily finishing my college. I don’t get all the hate; i would rather my 14 year old sister read her interviews about being herself than yours from Miley, mcpantless or portman.

  55. Camille says:

    Well she would look the part if nothing else. I think she might do ok in this, she might surprise everyone *shrug*.

    I wonder how they are planning on treating this story. My favourite incarnation of Snow White has to be Snow White, A tale of Terror (yeah awful title), but its a good film with good performances, especially by Sigourney Weaver as the Queen.

  56. Poopsicle says:

    “Because Snow White was an angsty, lip-biting, eye-rolling, mouth-breathing, bad-postured, monotone little bitch.”

    Ahahahah! I love it, I love it.

  57. buell says:

    Sorry, but no way will this beat Snow White A Tale Of Terror! Sam Neill is in it and Sigourney Weaver plays the wicked stepmother. And one of the “dwarfs” is played by Chris Bauer (Sheriff Andy Bellefleur on True Blood). Loved this one!

  58. hatsumomo says:

    WOW!
    I clicked on this story and wasn’t expecting what I was going to read, ANOTHER CASTING FOR THE MOVIE Prometheus!!!! I hope this is real and not just gossip speculation! The Prometheus movie is something My man and I are super excited about! And when we found out Noomi is being cast my man just about jizzed his pants! He loves her ever since I convinced him to watch the Millennium Trilogies. OHHH I wonder what role he’ll play. My man has loved the Alien movies and can quote large swaths of dialogue from the movies off the top of his head. No joke. When we marry our wedding cake would really look like this:http://www.jetcitycakes.com/?page_id=5&nggpage=7&pid=8 And if we have a son by then, I swear, his name will be Prometheus.
    OHH Im just so excited all over again, though the bummer is the movies isn’t slated for release till March ’12.

  59. European says:

    Geekylove: I’m European and feel insulted that you think Stewart’s painful “acting” would be considered art here. It’s not.
    She is what you get when you have parents who work in HW, spoil their child, made her think she is the best actress who doesn’t need acting classes, complains and pisses off the audiance that she depends on by calling them retards who don’t understand her ART.

    All of you who claim to love her personality would run away from her if you met her since she would roll her eyes at you and tell you to F-ck off and don’t disturb her deep thoughts.

  60. I still think Fassbender should make a tights-clad cameo. All he has to do is run across the screen during opening credits & we won’t even have to watch the movie itself. Sold!

  61. All says:

    I will say again K-Stew is a Lesbian. She just cant be straight with that type of look.

  62. lucy2 says:

    My annoyance at her surliness has nothing to do with her being female. If one of her male costars had the same attitude while still choosing to pursue all the things he was complaining about, I’d feel the same way about him.

    Just looked over her filmography, and I’ve seen her in several different things, but she’s always playing the same sort of sullen role. She has Kate Hudson-itis, but it’s for dramas, not rom coms.

  63. I still say that Fassbender should at least make a tights-clad cameo in this flick. All he has to do is run past the camera during opening credits, which would save most of us from watching the entire thing. Sold!

  64. Cherry Rose says:

    So being a lesbian has a certain type of look? I’m sorry, but that is a load of total BS. Just because she might not look how you perceive to be straight doesn’t mean she is. That’s being ignorant to judge totally based on her appearance. I’m bisexual but no one can automatically tell just based on looking at me.

    I don’t like Kristen Stewart, but to say she looks a certain way, and therefore is a lesbian is just plain dumb.

  65. Emily says:

    “I will say again K-Stew is a Lesbian. She just cant be straight with that type of look.”
    Um, I get major gay vibes off her, but saying she absolutely can’t be straight due to her looks? Wow. I’m gay, does that mean I should start dressing like her?

    I actually think she’d make a good Snow White. All that bitch did was sleep in a coffin waiting to be kissed, I’m pretty sure she could pull that off.

  66. eja102 says:

    I don’t understand how people can laugh at Rumer Willis, and this chick gets a pass.

    She is butt ugly.

    and miserable looking. and frumpy and she slouches.

  67. Mouring the Death of Music says:

    no! No! NO!

  68. Psyren says:

    She really does only have one facial expression doesn’t she? Her nose and mouth always have that slight “I-think-I-smell-cat-pee” crinkle.

  69. LittleDeadGirl says:

    Nobody who defends her ever calls her a great actress. I just keep seeing “she’s not THAT bad of an actress”. Well you know what … it’s a recession and I work damn fucking hard for my money. I ain’t paying any of it on “sort of good films and not that bad actresses …

  70. Raye says:

    No. Friggin. Way….that’s all…

  71. Claire says:

    Going to get panned. While I wouldn’t say she is my fav actress, I don’t think she is the worst out there. Sure bit of a one trick pony, but I kinda like her awkwardness.

    As for Charlize Theron, beautiful yes, but thats it. Does nothing for my in the acting department, very over-rated. Sorry!!

    I kinda like Tilda Swinton in those wicked stepmother sort of roles, she could look quite amazing.

  72. Jon K says:

    Whoever she is as a human being is none of my business, but I know good acting when I see it, and I know bad acting. She is horrible, really. As Bella supposedly going through several emotions, her expression never varies. She mumbles so badly she is completely unintelligible. She is a beautiful girl, so she should model. I like the Twilight movies, but after they are done, I’ll never pay to see her in anything ever again. How about Hollywood starts hiring people who are capable of acting for a change?

  73. montceth says:

    I vote for ALEXIS BLEDEL!!!

  74. My Darling Pinkett says:

    Whoa…seriously? You know, it really pisses me off how some actors are cast based solely on their names. If this is a true rumor, then the only reason she is being considered is because they hope she’ll bring in the big bucks with her Twitard fans.

    Acting-wise, she is pretty much without talent. She was never great, but when she was younger I think she was slighly better, although she’s always played the same type of character: Herself.

    Beauty-wise…are you joking? Alright, so beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but she is, at best, average in the looks department. Sorry to everyone who thinks otherwise. And yeah, her attitude and disgusting habits don’t help. She would be so, so wrong in this role, but it’d be hilariously painful to watch. I can already imagine it.

    But yeah, it probably won’t happen. People, cast Emily Browning! She’s the obvious choice!

  75. Angel says:

    She is beautiful and delicate in a way. I can see it. The photos here of her are never flattering … but that’s here. She is gorgeous in reality. She is also not ungrateful at all, and not half as petulant as she is portrayed, but whatever. Also, the girl can act. She does do roles that play to her actual personality but she is young, and most young actresses do this because they are told to. –No big risks before you establish who you want to be, long-term wise, in your career.

    At least it isn’t Anne f*cking Hathaway, is all I can say. So sick of that girl.

  76. Micki says:

    Wasn’t Snow White supposed to be more beautiful than the evil stepmom? If Theron takes that part how will Kristen manage it? Even the Huntsman is going to be better looking than her and at his age too…hilarious

  77. I Choose Me says:

    Hailee Steinfeld for Snow White! That is all.

  78. bored says:

    That lip biting thing was in the twilight books. May not be a Kristen thing so much as part of the, uhm, plot. Just sayin… (ducks and runs for cover.)

  79. geekylove says:

    to European:i am from europe, and you can’t tell me kstew wouldn’t fit perfectly in half of the french artsy films, that they produce every year. i’m all for high culture, but let’s call snob-ism by it’s rightful name.
    chick is 20 years old, as i’m just saying that i’d be happy if i was mature, in some aspects as her when i was that age. cut her some crap.
    oh, and i don’t know what would she do if we met, but i don’t really care. i understand that people can’t like everybody and be in high spirits all the time. i consider it normal.

  80. Hakura says:

    This is hilarious to me. xD This is why I love reading the comments more than the stories.

    I don’t care for her, & I think the issue of Charlize being the evil character would make for an odd dynamic. Kristen may be considered pretty by some, but I don’t think she could compete well against Charlize in that category.

    Not even getting into my opinion of Kristen as an actress. Charlize is incredible (which I think most people can agree on), so such things have to be considered when you decide who to put in something *with* her.

    They have to make this choice carefully… the backlash could be pretty serious if they make the wrong choice… some would likely accuse the casting of only picking kristen because of her drawing ‘Twilight’ fans.

  81. oana says:

    i feel like casting kirsten stewart as snow white is like destroying the whole story. someone who is beautiful and gracious and who can act should play snow white. not this emo chick who can’t and who always has the same expression on her face

  82. AbbyseeinYa says:

    Thank GOD that there are people who feel the way I do! It’s bad enough that we are bombarded with ‘Twilight-mania’ but what is worse is the ungrateful actress(?) that is Kristen Stewart. I agree that having her in a movie is worse than having Megan Fox starring in it. They both can’t act, but at least Megan doesn’t come across like she hates the world. If acting is such hell, I’m sure there’s a McDonalds out there that will hire her, and she can enjoya future of flipping burgers. Unless Snow White is an angry/bored princess with a bug (no…make that a Volkswagen beetle) up her ass, Kristen is the wrong choice. Her acting jobs just seem to be in character with her moody angst. Let’s see her in something that shows an unfamiliar quality, something that has a lot of laughing! Oh, what a tortured life she leads. She hates fame. Boo-freakin’-hoo!

  83. Vera says:

    I hope Emily Browning gets the part. I could see her acting it well, and I could see her working well with Viggo. But Kristen Stewart? No.

  84. Heaven says:

    Emily Browning would be perfect! She can act and she’s amazing looking.

  85. whoah this weblog is excellent i like reading your posts. Stay up the great paintings! You realize, lots of people are looking around for this information, you could aid them greatly.
