Hugh Jackman Offered Snow White and the Huntsman Lead Role
Snow White and the Huntsman update! Ok, you already know that we’re talking about Universal’s version of the well-known fairy tale classic (so don’t confuse it with Tarsem Singh‘s Snow White), and today we’re here for a great casting update!
According to the latest reports, Hugh Jackman has been offered the lead male role in the upcoming Rupert Sanders‘ project that already stars Kristen Stewart as Snow White and Charlize Theron as the evil queen.
So, according to Deadline, Universal has offered Hugh Jackman the role of the Huntsman in the Rupert Sanders-directed re-imagining of the classic fairy tale. Jackman was supposed to be at work on The Wolverine, but “his schedule has opened up since director Darren Aronofsky left the project and shooting in Japan” (I guess we all know why).

It’s a shot taken from the set of Isle Esme, where Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson) go on their honeymoon and the caption sent along with it was, “Happy Valentine’s Day from Isle Esme!”
Synopsis: In the highly anticipated next chapter of the blockbuster The Twilight Saga, the newfound married bliss of Bella Swan and vampire Edward Cullen is cut short when a series of betrayals and misfortunes threatens to destroy their world.

Bella soon discovers she is pregnant, and during a nearly fatal childbirth, Edward finally fulfills her wish to become immortal. But the arrival of their remarkable daughter, Renesmee, sets in motion a perilous chain of events that pits the Cullens and their allies against the Volturi, the fearsome council of vampire leaders, setting the stage for an all-out battle. The suspenseful and deeply romantic Breaking Dawn continues the epic tale of supernatural fantasy and passionate love that has made The Twilight Saga a worldwide phenomenon.
Kristen Stewart in Talks to Star in Snow White and the Huntsman
Ok, we have the new Snow White – say ‘hi’ to Kristen Stewart!
Unfortunately, nothing is confirmed yet, and I know you hate when something is not official, but wait!
According to the latest reports, negotiations are still in progress, and she now appears to be even closer to join the cast of Universal’s Snow White and the Huntsman than last week.
Stewart would join previously announced Viggo Mortenson, who is in talks to play the Huntsman and Charlize Theron, who is in talks to play the Evil Queen.
Last week we had a little chat about her possible cast, and now, according to THR she’s currently in negotiations to star in the film “with both parties involved wanting it to happen.”
Hollywood’s Top 40 Earners in 2010
James Cameron, a Canadian film producer/director, won the No. 1 position on the film industry’s top-earners list, making him Hollywood’s richest man in 2010, according to a new list of film industry top-earners, which excludes TV and other non-film–related income.
The Avatar writer, producer and director made $257 million last year, mostly from Pandora-related box office and DVD sales and associated licensing. No doubt, big-time directors are the biggest money makers. Last year Michael Bay crossed the $100 million mark. This year, by the time Avatar plays out on broadcast television, James Cameron will make close to $350 million.
Johnny Depp was selected for the second place on the list of top-earning stars, directors and producers. The list estimated Depp’s pull for the year at $100 million. That broke down as $40 million for Alice in Wonderland, $35 million for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and $20 million for The Tourist co-starring.

The Most Anticipated Movies of 2011
Cinema enthusiasts have a lot to look forward to, as there is a wide range of the Most Anticipated Movies of 2011. Some of these may turn out being 2011 blockbuster films, the others may finish up as 2011 box-office bombs. Either way, it looks as though there are plenty of projects to be excited about. If a movie is based on a piece of material that has already been successful, audiences know what to expect, and there’s likely already a built-in fan base.
That’s why studios love sequels, remakes and adaptations. So it makes sense that those movies dominate our list of the Most Anticipated Movies of 2011. These are the movies that could make or break studios and stars next year. But remember, high hopes don’t always pan out.
