KRISTEN OFFERED ROLE IN 'AKIRA'

Updates from Variety_JLD/JoshDickey Be wary of reports of Kristen Stewart in AKIRA. If she has an offer, that's 1 thing, and v tentative. When they're "in talks," that's legit. 
Doesn't mean it won't happen. But offers are tendered and rejected all the time; that's why we rarely, if ever, report on them. 
Nobody locked, but Hedlund is closest. He's in talks, which means they mutually agree and are hammering out details.
Hmm, sounds like the Kristen-Stewart-in-AKIRA thing is firming up. Stay tuned ...

TwitchFilm Has Jaume Collet-Sera's Akira found its female lead?

Twitch was the first to bring word of Gary Oldman, Helena Bonham Carter and Garrett Hedlund being offered parts in the Warner Brothers backed US adaptation of Katsuhiro Otomo's classic manga and now we have learned that Kristen Stewart has been offered the part of Kei, a young medium who becomes the love interest for Kaneda - the role already offered to Hedlund.

Stewart is a choice that makes sense on most levels - she's certainly talented and has name recognition far above most in her generation - but also concerning in that none of the Twilight cast, Stewart included, have been able to find any sort of success outside of that franchise with Twilight fans not caring what any of them do elsewhere and everyone else generally staying away because of the Twilight stigma. Could this break the trend if Stewart accepts? Possibly - that it's more of a support role than a lead will help - but it's a somewhat risky move.

UpandComers Warner Bros continues to dream big and reach out to strictly A-list talent to round out the ensemble cast of its risky, bid budget remake of Japanese manga "Akira", with offers out to the likes of Gary Oldman and Helena Bonham Carter still pending. Thus far the only actor to officially sign on is Garrett Hedlund, who will star as Kaneda in the futuristic actioner, and while previous reports indicated Keira Knightley had been offered an unspecified female role, Twitch now reports it’s "Twilight" series star Kristen Stewart who has the offer for the female lead. Presumably this means Knightley has passed on the role. Let’s hope this doesn’t turn into the next "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies"

Stewart, who just recently worked with Hedlund on the equally controversial, long-gestating adaptation of "On the Road", has been offered the role of Kei, a young medium and love interest to Hedlund’s Kaneda. Kaneda’s story mainly revolves around an attempt to save his little brother Tetsuo from becoming a government science experiment and weapon after the younger man begins developing telekinetic abilities. Ezra Miller and Alden Ehrenreich are among the actors being eyed for the role of Tetsuo. Jaume Collet-Serra will direct.

Offers and interest are still out for Jeff Bridges and Anne Hathaway to join the pic. The story follows six sisters who are given a challenge by their self-made father to see who will inherit his fortune. Stewart is set to play Beth Barnacle, a pot-smoking purple-haired lesbian who suffers the defeat of unrequited love. The project is set up at Sony with Team Todd (Alice in Wonderland) and Plum Pictures (The Kids Are All Right) producing. The pic is based on the novel “A Taxonomy of Barnacles” written by Galt Nierderhoffer. It was previously set up at Revolution Studios.

KRISTEN IN NEGOTIATION TO PLAY 'SNOW WHITE' - THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER EXCLUSIVE

the hollywoodreporter

Kristen Stewart is the fairest them of all.

The Twilight star is in negotiations to star in Snow White and the Huntsman, putting her on the road to topline the movie alongside Viggo Mortensen and Charlize Theron for Universal’s take on the fairy tale.

The deal is not done and could still fall apart, but both sides want it to happen.

Stewart is a name that Universal kept coming back to since acquiring the project. Still, it went through a series of screen tests with actresses such as Riley Keough, Felicity Jones and Alicia Vikander. As The Hollywood Reporter previously reported, Stewart was still being courted as late as last week, and Universal finally made an offer over the weekend.

Commercial helmer Rupert Sanders is making his directorial debut on the pic, which amps up the action quotient from the fairy tale and plays up the relationship between White and the Huntsman. In the new scenario, when she is banished and on the run by the evil queen (Theron), the Huntsman (Mortensen) takes her under his wing to protect her, and she becomes his protege, learning how to fight and defend herself.

Stewart is repped by Gersh.

people.com

Kristen Stewart has no beef with the Man of Steel. 

Despite reports that the actress turned down the role of Lois Lane in the 2012 Superman film, her rep tells PEOPLE there was never any discussion about her playing the part. 

"There are a number of fabricated stories circulating," says the rep. "The fact is that she has not met on this film nor has she been approached for this film." 

Stewart will next be seen in the drama On the Road and will reprise her role as Bella Swan inThe Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 and 2.

RUMOR : K-11 SHOOTING IN JUNE?

GreatNewMovies The rumors were swirling around for years about Kristen Stewart acting in her mother’s movie ‘K-11’. But, the details always remained a myth.

The movie ‘K-11’ has been delayed since 2008 due to various factors, such as casting, funding and the schedules of Kristen Stewart and it was shelved since then. The movie is supposed to start it’s filming from June 6, which could probably come in the way of ‘Snow White and The Huntsman’, if the schedules are not adjusted.

The movie ‘K-11’ is all about one of the Music legends of Hollywood ending up in male prison of K-11 unit in Los Angeles. K-11 is a unit provided for the gay people and the transgenders who could not survive in the normal prison.

Reportedly, Kristen Stewart is playing the character of Birdy, a 19-year-old girl, with red hair just like a normal boy. She gets molested by a child molester Detroit who likes her, as she is small and young. Later in the plot, she kills him as retaliation. The complete ‘K-11’ unit works together, to throw the guard, who abuses them verbally and physically.

The complete film is violent as people fighting with each other to dominate and the rest fight for their survival. Jules Stewart, the mother of Kristen Stewart is the script writer and the director of ‘K-11’.

KRISTEN WILL BE IN 'THE SNOW WHITE AND HUNTSMEN'?

dealine

With word circulating that Viggo Mortensen is in talks to play one of the title characters in the Rupert Sanders-directed Snow White and the Huntsman for Universal Pictures, will Twilight Saga's Kristen Stewart end up with playing Snow White? Though the studio has been testing young actresses and no one is set, there are persistent rumors that Stewart looms large as a potential lead. Mortensen surfaces in the lead of that movie in a role that had been rumored for Michael Fassbender. But Fassbender never had an offer and he committed to the Ridley Scott-directedPrometheus with Noomi Rapace and Charlize Theron. Ironically, Theron is also starring in Huntsmen as the Evil Queen. Stewart is repped by Gersh. Stay tuned...via kmitch1217

Update: Deadline reports that Kristen Stewart “looms large as a potential lead” in the role of Snow White in “Snow White And The Huntsman.” Uh, not much more than that other than confirmation of rumors that have been making the rounds, but certainly a much different choice that relatively smaller names that have been mentioned up until now.

That was fast. Michael Fassbender is officially out of Universal‘s hotly-tipped “Snow White and the Huntsman” (he took Ridley Scott‘s “Prometheus” instead) and evidently a replacement has already been found. Viggo Mortensen is reportedly in talks to join in the fantasy re-imagining that newcomer Rupert Sanders is helming. Notice that Charlize Theron is only mentioned to be in talks in Variety‘s report, because, as we’ve been saying for weeks now, she’s not officially locked in like many have assumed (and like Fassbender, she may take a “Prometheus” role which would likely see her exit the project as well).

Written by Evan Daugherty, the script was high up on the 2010 Blacklist pages, and this new spin on the popular fairy tale sees the titular huntsman (Mortensen) being hired by the evil queen (Theron, if she decides to take the role) to track down her runaway stepdaughter, the fairest in all the land. When he realizes that the queen intends to kill Snow White, he helps her escape, and the pair go on the run. Apparently, the huntsman and Snow White will be chained together for a good portion of the film, and there is still a handsome prince who will win the fair lady’s heart.

Actresses such as Riley Keough, Felicity Jones (who now has Sundance buzz from the hit indie “Like Crazy”—it was bought by Paramount), Bella Heathcoat and Alicia Vikanderare all up-and-coming actresses that have reportedly been up for the role, but no one has officially nabbed the part yet. “Snow White and the Huntsman” already has a Dec. 21, 2012 release date and is aiming to shoot this summer.  Theron and Mortensen co-starred together briefly in “The Road” in 2009. via kmitch1217

Is Kristen Stewart the fairest of them all?

The Twilight star is on the list for the role of Snow White in Universal’s Snow White and the Huntsman.

The movie, being directed by Rupert Sanders, is in deep casting mode, with Viggo Mortensen entering negotiations to play the Huntsman earlier Wednesday. Charlize Theron is in negotiations to play the evil queen.

Stewart is a name that Universal has kept coming back to since acquiring the project even as it went through a series of screen tests with actresses such as Riley Keough, Felicity Jones and Alicia Vikander. Emily Browning tested this past weekend (Stewart has reached a point in her career where testing isn't required).

Stewart, arguably one of the biggest stars in the world thanks to the Twilight movies, has focused on indie projects in between the vampire romancers, and this could become her first studio project since becoming a name. It also would put her in the shoes of an iconic character.

The Gersh-repped actress is currently shooting the Breaking Dawn movies, but the Snow White team has been making repeated overtures even as late as last week. via kstewangel

GossipCop

Kristen Stewart’s name is at the center of rumors surrounding Snow White and the Huntsman.

Right now, the Twilight Saga actress “looms large” for the title character role, according to Deadline.

Due to scheduling conflicts, Viggo Mortensen has become the most likely Huntsman, replacing Michael Fassbender.

Charlize Theron is attached to the project as the Evil Queen. Rupert Sanders is due to direct.

Gossip Cop is looking into the Stewart casting rumor, but it’s still extremely early in the process, with most major pieces still in flux.

WILL BREAKING DAWN & OTR HAVE THE SAME RELEASE DATE?

USTRENDS
While Kristen Stewart with her boyfriend Robert Pattinson just the filming of “Breaking Dawn” have started a film had been completed long ago: “On The Road“.

The summer wrap, but now it may be still too specific in the plans. Supposedly already is established, the Brazilian cinema release!

As the Brazilian side “Cinepop writes, is the film’s release for 25 November 2011 and is likely set to come almost simultaneously with “Breaking Dawn” in the cinemas.

Breaking Dawn celebrates expected on 16 November 2011 made its debut. Crash! Since Kristen Stewart has indeed a true mammoth program because at the end then have two films to be advertised.

Playing at Kristen’s page and Viggo Mortensen, Kirsten Dunst and bosom friend Tom Sturridge. The plot according to Wikipedia …

The two main characters, Dean Moriarty and the narrator Sal Paradise issued on a journey through the U.S. and Mexico to indulge in the frenzy, the women and the Jazz – with them as Hipster not mainstream jazz, but the new, harder Bebop.

The two hitch-hiking, jump onto freight trains, ride Greyhound buses back on truck platforms or in stolen cars across the North American continent, from New York City, via Chicago, Denver, California to New Orleans and finally to Mexico.

Sounds at first glance very exciting! Whether you think “On The Road” with Kristen Stewart can do what he promises, we will see the end of next year.
