In an article printed in The Improper, the question of whether Kristen Stewart will find success with her new film Snow White and the Huntsman was explored.
According the Improper :
Kristen Stewart, still looking for a cinematic success outside of “Twilight,” is slated for the lead role in “Snow White and The Huntsman.” It will be her first big budget film following two also-rans, “Welcome to the Rileys” and “The Runaways.”
“KStew is officially playing Snow White and her deal is in final negotiations and will close next week,” Patel wrote.
Although she’s one of the most visible and popular actresses in Hollywood, and one of the hottest couples withRobert Pattinson, it still remains to be seen whether she can carry a picture on her own outside of “Twilight.”
Despite strong casting in Rileys, which also starred James Gandolfini and Oscar winner Melissa Leo, the movie flopped at the box office. It grossed around $300,000 worldwide, according to boxofficemojo.
“Welcome to the Rileys”? Thanks, but no thanks,” wrote Washington Postcritic Michael O’Sullivan.
Likewise, “The Runaways,” with “Twilight” castmate Dakota Fanning. The film, about the early days of Joan Jett and her iconic band, also failed to ignite fans.
Nonetheless, Stewart is considered bank in Hollywood.
She’ll have a lot of help from Oscar winner Theron, but the movie will go head-to-head with another Snow White picture, starring Julia Roberts.
“Snow White and the Huntsman” is scheduled for release in December 2012.
