There's talk on the World Wide Web of Movie Gossip that KRISTEN STEWART has been DROPPED from the "Snow White and the Huntsman" sequel. Supposedly, Universal Studios is re-tooling the concept so that instead of a proper follow-up, they're going to do a spin-off focusing on THE HUNTSMAN . . . who was played by CHRIS HEMSWORTH in the original. That way they can get rid of Kristen, who messed a lot of things up when she had an affair with the original movie's director, RUPERT SANDERS.
