Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that Snow White and the Huntsman star Kristen Stewart will not return for the originally planned sequel and that Chris Hemsworth's Huntsman will get his own spin-off film instead. This news comes following the aftermath of the recent romantic affair Stewart had with the married Rupert Sanders (the director of the first film). Sources with ties to the production of the follow-up also claim Sanders will return for the sequel, though nothing is completely certain just yet. David Koepp, the writer of the first film, is not set to return due to the drastic change in the franchise's direction. A Universal Spokeswoman states "The studio is currently exploring options to continue the franchise" . Universal is now searching for a new writer for the spin-off and are also hoping to begin filming next July, when Thor star Chris Hemsworth becomes available.

I agree. No way at all this warranted a spin-off of any shape or form.
There must be a real vacuum of ideas at the Universal creative executive meetings for this crap idea to be greenlit.

Give credits to Will Ferrell, he´s the one who says it in the video posted above my first post, it´s just that the video can´t be seen in most countries.

Who gives a [frick] about the Huntsman?
Spinning off garbage from garbage doesn't give you gold.

The story I read from the beginning was that the next movie would be about the Huntsman only, months before the affair went public.

I can only hope that Chris Hemsworth does not fall victim to the irresistible sexual catnip that is Rupert Sanders

This dead eyed b-tch was the only reason I haven't seen the first one. I've seen children with down syndrome with more range and facial expressions.

Otherwords...Great news!
