Hefty price tag for KRISTEN STEWART in wake of cheating scandal causes studio to give her the old heave-ho from SNOW WHITE franchise.
Weeks after being caught lip locking with her married Snow White and The Huntsman director Rupert Sanders, comes the news that the pouty puss has been dropped from the planned sequel.
Sander's estranged wife, Liberty Ross had issued a stern warning to her cheating spouse that if he wanted to have any hope of salvaging their marriage he had better never work with Stewart again.
“Liberty let it be known in no uncertain terms that Rupert can’t direct the sequel to Snow White and the Huntsman,” a source revealed, RadarOnline.com reported.
“They are trying to work things out after he was caught having an affair, and that is one of the sticking points. She just doesn’t want him to ever work with Kristen again.
“Rupert is obviously disappointed because Snow White and the Huntsman was his directorial debut, and he had hoped on building on that with a follow-up after some decent reviews.
“But he knows his actions were inexcusable, and he’s going to have to bite the bullet and listen to his wife on this one."
And now The Hollywood Reporter says that Universal Studios has decided to shelve the scheduled Snow White follow up in favor of a "spin off" movie concentrating on Stewart's co-star, Chris Hemsworth's Huntsman character and not including Stewart at all.
The flick is supposed to go into produiction as soon as Chris' new Thor 2 is wrapped.
