Snow White and the Huntsman was doing so well. In the last month the Universal take on the picture has managed to get both Charlize Theron and Viggo Mortensen to play the Evil Queen and the Huntsman, respectively. Now, sadly, it appears they have decided to take a detour.

THR reports that Kristen Stewart, as previously rumored, has entered negotiations to play the fairy tale princess in Snow White and The Huntsman. Of the three Snow White films currently in production, this project is the first to find their female lead, discounting Natalie Portman who, because of her pregnancy, will most likely be unavailable for Disney's Snow White and The Seven. Back in December there was a shortlist that contained largely unknown actresses including Riley Keough, Felicity Jones, Bella Heathcoat and Alicia Vikander, though there was the looming possibility that the studio would go with a known name, such as Stewart, Dakota Fanning and Saoirse Ronan.

The news comes right on the heels of Stewart no longer having a part in the race to play Lois Lane in Zack Snyder's Superman reboot, and I highly doubt that this is an unrelated event. With the Twilight franchise quickly coming to an end, Stewart needs to start capitalizing on her current fame by collecting projects. For now we'll just have to deal with the fact that we'll be getting a stone-faced, lip-biting Snow White.
