It's official: Kristen Stewart to play Snow White in "Snow White and the Hunstman"!

After a long long speculation of who's going to play Snow White in the upcoming "Snow White and the Huntsman", it's finally confirmed that the role went to the one and only Kristen Stewart! She wasn't the only frontrunner of the role, as Felicity Jones, Riley Keough, and Emily Browning were also contending for it. Palak Patel, the co-producer of the movie confirmed the news through this twitter and that Kristen will be officially announced next week.

"Snow White and the Huntsman" has officially cast Viggo Mortensen as the Huntsman and Charlize Theron as The Evil Queen. Differs from the Disney's 1937 "Snow White", it tells about a huntsman who's ordered by the Evil Queen to take Snow White to the woods and kill her, but instead he chooses to let her go and they are bond closer as they are escaping. I don't think we will find any dwarfs or Prince Charming here (but who knows?).

I personally didn't put Stewart up to the favorite list, as I previously considered Felicity Jones and Riley Keough more than her. I even almost thought that they attached Stewart's name due to her current glorious fame, so that the pre-production buzz will gear up. But apparently the studio has made the choice, then so be it. I really hope Stewart will be more expressive in playing this role, because I clearly don't want to see a dead-eyed Snow White. Really.

Rupert Sanders will be directing while Evan Daugherty will write the script. The filming will likely to begin this summer, and to be released in December 21, 2012.

Three stills from "On The Road" with Kristen Stewart, Garrett Hedlund, and Sam Riley

Even though I haven't read any Jack Kerouac books, I'm pretty much thrilled about this movie. I read the synopsis and I think it will be really 'deep', knowing that "On The Road" is actually a biography of Kerouac — in which he used his alter-ego.

Also, the director of "On The Road" movie is Walter Salles, who previously directed the amazing "The Motorcycle Diaries". He cast "Tron: Legacy" star Garrett Hedlund, Kristen Stewart, and British model and musician Sam Riley for this movie. Sounds like very indie, doesn't it?

And here are three first stills from "On the Road" with the three leading actors in them:

Garrett Hedlund is such a hottie, I know. This movie is currently in post-production and to be release this year, with no specific dates yet.

Why Felicity Jones or Riley Keough will make a better "Snow White" than Kristen Stewart

There has been a talk about who's going to star as Snow White in "Snow White and the Huntsman". Kristen Stewart is reportedly the strongest candidate to do so, even though other actresses have been claimed to try out; Felicity Jones, Riley Keough, and Emily Browning. Kristen, because of her "Twilight" fame, reportedly didn't have to do any screen test. Well it's a great step for Kristen to take off her "Twilight" persona, and even her indie-girl image, because this will be her first 'major studio' role.

I admire Kristen in her movies outside of "Twilight" universe. "Adventureland", "Into the Wild", "Panic Room", and "The Runaways"—she nailed her parts. One thing about her is that she could bring 'reality' to the character she played, she almost didn't fake it. Even though we all agree that she always played the same role over and over again (some kind of awkward and 'hard-core' type of girl), she could make us relate to her characters.

But speaking of Snow White, well, I must say, she doesn't fit the part. I don't know if Rupert Sanders, the director, will make a darker and edgy version of Snow White (like Tim Burton did in "Alice in Wonderland" or Catherine Hardwicke in her upcoming "Red Riding Hood"), but we all surely want an expressive and 'girly' Snow White. I know Kristen is a professional and she might accept any kind of challenge for her roles, but even she didn't do well in portraying Bella Swan. I read all "Twilight" novel and I thought Bella was supposed to be awkward-but-friendly, and Kristen didn't bring it all out. From what I saw in the movie, Bella was rather a zombie girl—dead eyes and dead soul.

Choosing an actress only for her fame won't do anything right. It might be 'attractive' commercially, but it's a shame if they don't put the substance upfront. So here I'd love present my proposal of which actress will be the best to portray Snow White from the audition: Felicity Jones and Riley Keough.

Felicity Jones is a 26-years-old British actress who started her career as a television series star in England. The Hollywood started to put an eye on her in 2010 hit "The Tempest" (which is also nominated for an Oscar), and recently she stole the heart of Sundance audience in the critically-acclaimed indie hit "Like Crazy" opposite Anton Yelchin and Jennifer Lawrence. Physically, people agree that she embodies all the Snow White remarks. Pale and flawless white skin, dark brown hair, and a pair of expressive big brown eyes.

Riley Keough, who's known as a supermodel rather than actress, is the granddaughter of legendary Elvis Prestley. She made her acting debut alongside Kristen Stewart in "The Runaways", as Marie Currie, sister of Dakota Fanning's character Cherry Currie. She's currently in talks to star in "Mad Max: Fury Road", and have two new movies come up this year, "The Good Doctor" and "Yellow". She may not be familiar enough for us, but we can't get away from the fact that she has a statuesque face that every Disney princess needs.
