'WE WANT SNOW WHITE'


I just can't bring myself to watch this... Enjoyed SW&H - wanted a sequel WITH SW

reply

I do want to check this out, but I really agree.
I would have preferred a sequel with Snow White. ; - ;

I believe there is another world waiting for us, Sixsmith.

I second that.

reply

I'm going to see it =D I wouldn't have minded to have Snow White in it though. Don't really mind without either.

reply

Definetly would have rather had snow white. No reason to see this really. Kristen was my favorite part of the first film.

reply

I've seen it. The absence of Snow White is very noticeable as she's referenced a lot throughout the film. Although her absence is explained, it would've been nice to see her have a cameo at least.

reply

Well considering the scandal that ensued when Kristen Stewart screwed the director, I doubt they will be working together again.

Different director

This movie needed Snow White, for sure.

I'm all for Snow White in the next installment as long as it's not that thing Kristen Stewart. She should be easy to recast.

But this begs the $400 million question: If Kristen does not reprise her role as Snow White in the next installment of this franchise, will it be able to earn nearly $400 million at the box office like the first one did? Highly doubt it.



reply

What you said begs the question if Kristen Stewart is needed in this franchise (which by the way I thought wasn't necessary), but I think she's not so good actress, that's just my opinion.

I'll readily admit that judging acting talent, as is true with most art forms, is subjective.

That being said, are you aware that Kristen won critics group awards from the most prestigious film critic groups in the world (i.e., New York Film Critics Circle, National Society of Film Critics, Los Angeles Film Critics Association) for her performance in Clouds of Sils Maria? Kristen also became the first American actress to have ever won a Cesar award for her role in this film. In my opinion, she should have been a lock to receive a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination because of this.

reply

I didn't know, but I respect actors who can do better and want to do better with their acting, they also have to work for that, it's not just talent.
Thanks for your opinion.

I appreciate your open-mindedness. What I consider unfair is that many continue to judge Kristen's acting based exclusively on her performance in Twilight, not realizing she's become quite the critic darling due to her performances in independent films, most notably, Clouds of Sils Maria. If only her pundits and haters would judge her by her non-Twilight roles, that would be the day. And yes, in my opinion, Kristen was quite talented before her stint with Twilight: Panic Room, Speak, The Cake Eaters, Into the Wild, during her stint with Twilight: Adventureland, Welcome to the Rileys, The Runaways, On the Road, as well as after her stint with Twilight: Camp X-Ray, Clouds of Sils Maria, Still Alice. I expect her to receive critical praise in her yet to be released films: Cafe Society, Personal Shopper, Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk.

sorry, but I watched almost every film with kristen in it and she is definately a rising star amongst all actresses. while chloe moretz hype-career with astonishing flicks and performances is about to pause for a moment.. kristen starts shining again in indie movies just like before her twilight stuff. she was impressive before that time. and she is if the movie is dealing with it. sometimes the screenplay's are just horrible, so dont blame actors all the time.

good example is the current hail, ceasar, which has a *beep* up screenplay. dont blame the good cast.

reply

easily, Cast someone else in the role. The first movie did well because of the star power lead of Charleze. She was portrayed as the star because she was. "Kristen Stewarts role was forgettable"

If they make a single with Kristen and it doesnt have Charleze they need another star. Kristen cant carry a lead.

reply

Snow White is the central character. Whether they cast someone else or not, she should have been in the movie.

reply

oh, Im not saying they shouldnt have recast her. Im just saying posters saying there is no movie without kristen is just false. She wasnt even the lead in the last one. Ms. Theron was. She was in all the promotional stuff.

Saying that Kristen who starred as Snow White in Snow White and the Huntsman was a supporting actor, not a lead in this film, is one of the funniest things I've ever read on IMDb.

But then again, taken in the context of all the category fraud which took place this past awards season, (e.g., lead actors being campaigned as supporting, while supporting actors were being campaigned as leads), all the while Oscar voters didn't seem to care less about the miscategorizing of acting performances--saying so isn't anywhere as funny as it used to be.

So if Charlize really is the star attraction, than The Huntsman Winter's War, as you and some others on this board claim, should have no problem grossing as much at the box office as the original--especially since all the main cast of SWATH, with the lone exception Kristen Stewart, will be in this film--along with two additional A-list actresses added to the mix in Emily Blunt and Jessica Chastain.


Kristen cant carry a lead.


Kristen definitely did in The Twilight Saga films. Love her or hate her--these films still grossed a whopping $3.3 billion! How many young actresses can boast of such an accomplishment?

Of course the Twilight films weren't critically acclaimed. However, Kristen did churn out critically acclaimed performances, namely her performance in Clouds of Sils Maria, where she received more prestigious critical acclaim than any of the 2015 Best Supporting Actress Oscar nominees. But that's another topic. Right now we're talking about box office.

"that thing?"
she is a person, you know. All of us animals deserve respect. She may not be your favourite, but she is not a "thing"
good grief. grow up and show a little respect.

reply

Sorry but Kristen Stewart was not a credible snow white, not fair or beautiful and not anywhere even in the same league as charlize- do the casting agents think people are blind? Snow white needs to be BEAUTIFUL to be credible as the fairest of all- not present as a bedraggled sourpuss- snow white absence noted, & absence approved.

reply

I should start off by saying that fair is an outdated and archaic word to describe beauty. More modern and contemporary usage suggests a light complexion, in this case, Snow White had skin as white as snow. When one thinks of young actresses with fair skin, Kristen is perhaps one of the first to come to mind. Thus she was perfect for the role of Snow White.

Another point I should mention is that Snow White's evil stepmother is depicted as beautiful, unlike most fairy tales where the villain is usually portrayed as ugly and grotesque in appearance.

As far as Kristen not being considered beautiful, even in the fashion world where looks are King, Kristen is making quite a name for herself because of her natural beauty. Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld seems to think Kristen is the fairest of all Hollywood actresses, since she has been his primary focus of attention, as far as actresses goes, over the past few years. If Kristen were really as unattractive as you claim she is, then why is she the face of Chanel's makeup line? Here's Kristen's latest Chanel campaign:http://www.fashiontimes.com/articles/25823/20160408/kristen-stewart-stars-in-chanels-paris-in-rome-ad-campaign.htm

And besides, Elle Fanning, who portrayed the role of Sleeping Beauty/Princess Aurora in Maleficent, isn't in the same league as Angelina Jolie who portrayed Maleficent either.

reply

I could give a flying *beep* and two flying *beep* besides about Chanel's beauty standards. It's been a while since the fashion industry has lost sight of what the rest of humans think is attractive in any way shape or form.

That said, yes, Kristen has star power from her Twilight films. Was it because of her? Nope, that honor goes to her co-star Bobby Pattinson, who was the reason why thousands of teenage girls went to see the films. The character of Bella was meant to be a blank slate so as to allow said teenage girls to project themselves as the one adored by a sparkly vampire. In that light, she absolutely nailed her performance.

Does Kristen Stewart have acting ability? Yes, she does, and she's proven that she can act consistently and well in several movies that I've seen. I'm not a fan of her, but I would be remiss in saying that she has no acting chops. Oscar Worthy? I'm a bit too biased to comment on that, but she has the potential.

But the fact of the matter cannot be contested that she brought neither star power nor acting chops to her role as Snow White in Snow White and the Huntsman. She was the blank slate when she was supposed to be a powerful lead, and she was emotionless when she was meant to be the heart of the film. I enjoyed the movie despite her, not because of her.

If you think otherwise, you are entitled to your opinion, but I won't be taking film-watching advice from you anytime soon.

"Mirror Mirror on the wall...who is the most anaemic of all?"
Do you think the evil queen was asking her mirror who had the lightest skin? lol

White skin is a by product of the fair description, the albino alien from the film "Powder" could have been cast for the role of Snow White in that case, fair, but hardly beautiful.

You're putting words in my mouth for Sleeping Beauty as well, yet confirm my point... Elle Fanning truly was beauty personified....not! yet another example case of casting blindness

As for Kristen representing a makeup line... look how makeup advertising can make you passable "Buy our makeup as we can turn a troll into a doll"

Makeup hardly encapsulates the natural beauty which Snow White is meant to exemplify... "lips as red as blood" oh really? is that because Kristen is wearing a Chanel lipstick today?

Kristen in makeup vs evil queen with no makeup still equals an obvious winner for 'natural beauty'

And let's not forget how makeup can also ruin looks... The only way Kristen beats Charlize is when Charlize is using the Aileen Wuornos line of beauty products for the film "Monster"!

Well known tip in Hollywood... natural beauties who endeavour to voluntarily make themselves as ugly as possible, usually win an Oscar...


reply

Are you kidding? Kristean Stewart is definetly very beautiful.

reply

Well I enjoyed SWATH and enjoyed Stewart in it. Doesn't mean I personally need to like her or what she gets up to but since when did Hollywood care about morality? For all the haters of her cast choice, they went for her and they should stick with it... Don't all the hopeless romantics want to see her and the huntsman connect esp after the ending!?!
Be so wierd to recast her and thank goodness they didn't. But gees it seems desperate to go with this Huntsman movie and ditch SW

reply

Like Braydon mentioned earlier, Kristen was the best thing about SWATH.

Frank Darabont, who was hired to direct and write the screenplay for this film, would have been the best thing about The Huntsman. Unfortunately, he too was let go.

reply

Lol agreed that Charlize is a stunner, especially more so in a classical way. The comparison does make me laugh but at least SW had her youth, innocence and inner beauty/strength- and believe it or not I thought KS portrayed that well- in the character haha - not in reality
