A little while back we learned that, following one of the biggest scandals of 2012, Rupert Sanders– director of Snow White And The Huntsman– would not take part in the film’s sequel. Kristen Stewart was, however, expected to still be on board, and it made perfect sense to me that the two refrain from um… collaborating again. K-Stew has just officially confirmed her return to the franchise in a new interview with Indiewire, and she sounds crazy excited for it. Click inside to learn more!
Kristen Stewart talks Snow White And The Huntsman and On The Road with Indiewire:
OK, but to play devil’s advocate: where are you going to go with your character in a “Snow White” sequel?
Oh, it’s gonna be fuckin’ amazing. No, I’m so excited about it, it’s crazy.
Can you give me a hint of where it goes?
I’m not allowed. The other day I said that there was a strong possibility that we’re going to make a sequel, and that’s very true, but everyone was like, “Whoa, stop talking about it.” So no, I’m totally not allowed to talk about it.
But it’s fair to say that there are ideas that have been discussed that totally justify it for you.
Oh my God. Fuck, yeah. Absolutely. And we’ve got a really amazing… [smiles] So, yeah. It’s all good. [laughs]
What’s it like watching yourself have sex? Putting aside the possibility that you have home recordings or anything?
Right. [laughs] Well, I wasn’t really having sex. To be honest, I think if you were to isolate the scenes, it’s fairly ridiculous watching yourself fake have sex. But within the movie, watching the movie, I do get so caught up in this one. I’ve seen it three times, and that’s not typical for me. I have to complete the process, I need to watch the movie at the end of it. But three times?
Why this one then?
I don’t know. Walter could have cut together a 24-hour movie. I watched the movie, and it’s funny, I remember those moments like they’re parts of my life. And that typically happens when you watch a movie, but this one’s strange just because I can’t identify any scene. There are parts, moments, where I don’t feel like I’m watching a movie, I feel like I’m watching a home video. And I know that sounds like crazy talk.
That’s also the way he shot it. It’s meant to be lived in.
100%. So it doesn’t feel that weird to me. I felt like watching “Welcome to the Rileys” was more weird. But that was the point — it was to be a little bit like, you didn’t really want to watch that.
Because in this one, Marylou’s enjoying it.
It’s fucking fun! Exactly. It’s definitely full of love, this one.
What’s your sense of awards campaigning? It must be a weird thing for someone in your position where there are companies trying to make money, and there’s a certain business aspect to this time of year and a movie like this. It’s probably the most important film IFC Films has ever released. That means for someone like you, you’re put out there to kind of peddle it. What’s your sense of your role in that piece of the process?
I would follow Walter anywhere. I’m so proud of him. I would peddle his stuff to anyone in the world. I feel like it makes total sense — standing next to Garrett and Walter and Sam and Tom and everything, like when we were at Cannes, that makes so much sense to me. I’ve never felt stronger. I really like talking about the movie, so doing press for it is actually kind of fun — I’m not bullshitting.
The entire interview is actually a very interesting piece. The focus is really on Kristen‘s work in On The Road, and I liked that Indiewire opened up with this bit:
It’s easy for audiences to forget that if you take away “Twilight,” Kristen Stewart has done mostly indie-minded acting work. Other studio films do pepper her resume — “Jumper,” “Snow White and the Huntsman,” “Panic Room,” “Zathura” — but at a mere 22-years-old, Stewart has an independent streak at least as deep as that of well-respected indie darlings such as Michelle Williams and Catherine Keener. It’s just that much of Stewart’s public approbation has come from the Teen Choice/MTV Movie Award constituencies.
That may change this year…

I haven’t seen either of these films yet (Snow White or On The Road), but I’m kinda glad to see Kristen getting some indie lurve. I recently watched her in Adventureland and I thought it was a sweet flick. No, I don’t think she should be getting an Oscar nod any time soon, but K-Stew‘s alright by me.
I hate when celebrities use profanities in interviews, so crass. You can’t lock it up for an interview??
Also, the Snow White and the Huntsman was awful. 1. Kristen Stewart is pretty, yes, but in no universe is she prettier than Charlize Theron. 2. It was poorly written, and the story was laughable. The best character was the evil queen, and you know when you’re rooting for the villain the movie has no hope. Sequels are usually not as great as the first movie, so they should really just quit now.
I was going to say the same thing. Sure I’m no stranger to cursing like a sailor but I keep a lid on it at work. Its not very professional, actress or not.
