Rupert Sanders Forbidden From Directing 'Snow White' Sequel Or Kristen Stewart

Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Snow White and The Huntsman director Rupert Sanders will have to hunt for a new job if his wife has her way.

According to a New York Post report, Liberty Sanders  has shut down any possibility of the philandering director helming the Snow White and The Huntsman sequel.   RadarOnline reported Liberty made it clear she was willing to work things out, but her husband will never work with Kristen Stewart again if he wants to save their marriage.

Sanders and Stewart created a media storm after admitting they were involved in an extra-marital affair following the filming of the Snow White movie.

Stewart made a public and emotional apology saying, “This momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob. I love him, I love him, I’m so sorry,” Kristen said.

Given Snow White was Sanders directorial debut, he’s likely very disappointed his cheating ways may have cost him an opportunity to build on his initial success. Sanders is not under contract with Universal for the second installment so it is rather easy for either side to detach him from the sequel.

However a report by THR  says Universal is willing to re-team Stewart and Sanders for Snow White and The Huntsman 2. The studio believes they can still turn a profit on the franchise despite the scandal surrounding the star and director.

 

 

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
