Kristen Stewart stays Snow White, with Jodie's love

Kristen Stewart may reprise her role as Snow White after all. Universal Pictures has denied a report stating that the studio had dropped her from the project in the aftermath of her infidelities with the original Snow White And The Huntsman director Rupert Sanders.

"We are extremely proud of Snow White And The Huntsman and we're currently exploring all options to continue the franchise," Donna Langely, the co-chairman of Universal Pictures, said in a statement to TheWrap. "Any reports that Kristen Stewart has been dropped are false."

The Hollywood Reporter cited unnamed sources on Tuesday saying Universal dropped Stewart from the next movie in the franchise.

Universal has been planning a sequel to this summer's movie, which was a modest success at the box-office, with a production budget of US$170 million and a global gross of roughly US$389 million.

It appears Universal is particularly interested in a spin-off focused on the Huntsman character, played by Chris Hemsworth. Whether the next movie is a straight-up sequel or a spin-off, the studio isn't searching for a new Snow White. Another individual with knowledge of the situation corroborated this to TheWrap.

The studio is looking to hire new writers as David Koepp was hired to write a sequel rather than a spin-off. It remains unclear whether Sanders would direct, though it's hard to imagine he would be given the recent tabloid frenzy sparked by his extramarital romance with Kristen.

Just like in the fairytale, Kristen aka Snow White has coughed up the poisoned apple and taken back her kingdom.

Meanwhile, Kristen has found her white knight during her time of personal and professional turmoil. And that white knight is Jodie Foster. Kristen's co-star in the 2002 film Panic Room has penned a lengthy essay reflecting on her plight.

The take-away message from Foster's essay? The invasion of privacy created by tabloid and paparazzi culture can be a soul-crushing experience for a young actor, and Kristen's personal life is nobody's business but her own.

In the essay, published by the Daily Beast on Wednesday, Foster criticises what she calls "the gladiator sport of celebrity culture," adding, "if I were a young actor today I would quit before I started."

Blasting those who have become obsessed with Kristen's entangled love life, Jodie writes, "Just to set the record straight, a salary for a given on-screen performance does not include the right to invade anyone's privacy, to destroy someone's sense of self."

Kristen 'fessed up and apologised for the dalliance with Sanders last month, shortly after Us Weekly published pictures of the two of them canoodling.

"I'm deeply sorry for the hurt and embarrassment I've caused to those close to me and everyone this has affected," Kristen said in a statement. "This momentary indiscretion has jeopardised 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."

    quote: Jodie writes, "Just to set the record straight, a salary for a given on-screen performance does not include the right to invade anyone's privacy, to destroy someone's sense of self."
    This is sheer nonsense what Ms Jodie Foster had recently said! What someone especially a public celebrity does off screen is the right of everyone to know as long as it is the truth. Just because their misconduct have been exposed does not mean it is destroying the person concerned! Obviously Ms Foster (a lousy actress anyway) is attempting to gain any publicity by cashing in on a far more famous person like Kristen Stewart!

    For your information, Jodie Foster is a very accomplish actress and a director as well who so happens to hold 2 Academy Awards. With her legendary status, she does not need to cash in on the fame of Kristen Stewart. Although I do not wholeheartedly agree with Jodie's statement, I feel the media has gone overboard with the reports on Kristen. The person who should rightfully be vilified is Rupert Sanders since he is a married man who cheated on his wife.

    Joline,
    Why do you have the right to know a person's private life??? You may have the ability to access a person's private life but you don't have the right to. Unless you're paying to watch her private life ie those weird reality shows like Kim Kardashian (IMHO So lame but probably your favourite)

    And it's so funny for you to attack Jodie's character, she is far more talented than Kristen. Fame does not equal talent. DUH.
