Kristen Stewart confirmed for Snow White and the Huntsman

Kristen Stewart has hit home runs in pretty much every movie she's made outside of The Twilight Saga, but can she do the same as one of the most recognizable fairy tale characters ever? Since early last month, the popular actress has been rumored to be in talks for the lead role in Snow White and the Huntsman, and now it's been confirmed by producer Palak Patel, who tweeted...

@aurastew KStew is officially playing Snow White and her deal is in final negotiations and will close next week.

@cenup official confirmation coming next week. But we are in final negotiations.

In this version of the Brothers Grimm story, Snow White sees herself protected by the huntsman(Viggo Mortensen) who was sent by the Evil Queen(Charlize Theron) to kill her.   Rupert Sanders makes his feature directorial debut. The film is set for release on December 21st 2012.
