Kristen Stewart Is Still Snow White, THR Is Dead Wrong!

Posted byBy Joe Cohen | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Yesterday, THR posted a story about Kristen Stewart being dropped by Universal for the sequel to Snow White And The Huntsman. Now today, the studio quickly deny THR claims and says that any reports that Stewart has been dropped are completely false.

The studio issued the statement via Co-Chairman Donna Langley saying, “We are extremely proud of Snow White and The Huntsmen and are exploring all options to continue the franchise.”

This story broke yesterday, when THR wrote that the studio was practically cleaning shop, not only getting rid of Stewart, but also screenwriter David Koepp. The THR took the opportunity to unfairly blame Stewart’s ejection on the very public affair she had with Snow White director Rupert Sanders.

The truth is, the studio planned from the beginning to launch two potential franchises. With the intent to have a Huntsman spin-off, much like Wolverine’s spin-off from X-men. A lot of talk has been emerging about the Huntsman spin-off due to Chris Hemsworth rising popularity, who also prove to be a bargain, with his $5 million price tag for the first installment.

THR hasn’t yet commented on the studio’s statement and has not removed their story from yesterday, which you can find right here.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

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.
