After the cheating incident heard round the world happened, people were wondering what this would do to the status of a sequel for SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN.
Kristen Stewart has been dropped, along with writer David Koepp. Problem solved.
They are now putting the focus on the Huntsman role, played by Chris Hemsworth. It apparently was intended for the first two films to be focused on Snow White with the third being the spin-off for Hemsworth. Now they are going straight to the spinoff. This is even if they decide to go ahead with it at all.
Koepp is getting a nice little severance package so to speak for the breaking of his contract. His services will no longer be needed since his vision was the old. Ditching Stewart will also save them some money since she is the highest paid actress as of June. There was no real reason given as to why they decided to move on without her.
Still no word on whether or not Rupert Sanders will come back on board as helmer. Sources say that he still intends to come back for work, if and when production begins.
