Kristen Stewart will bring an edgy new twist to an age-old heroine in her upcoming film, Snow White and the Huntsman as she transforms “The Fairest in the Land” into a courageous warrior.
However, the 21–year-old beauty says putting a violent spin on the beloved character presented all sorts of challenges.
“It’s hard to play an action hero who is also the most compassionate person on earth,” Kristen said of her Snow White in an interview with Box Office magazine. “You can’t hate. You epitomize bleeding hearts, so how the [expletive] do you do an action movie like that?”
The actress revealed her grittier version of the fairytale classic will demand that Snow White put aside her deep-rooted compassion in order to fight for her people.
“Basically, I’m fighting evil — I’m fighting the most evil [villains] — and it’s fine that they’re being killed. It’s anguish. It’s literally… anguish,” Kristen said of her character’s torturous inner conflict. “She takes absolutely no pleasure in ever hurting anything.”
Though the role presents a tremendous challenge, Kristen appreciates the film’s fresh approach to the story, which blurs the lines between good and evil for the porcelain-skinned princess.
“It’s a really… cool way to approach a movie where so many people die,” she said. “Not that I’m criticizing violent movies — I love them, generally — but it is nice to do it this way.”
Twilight author Stephanie Meyer interviewed Kristen Stewart for the November issue of Glamour over in England while the 21-year-old filmed Snow White And The Huntsman. According to the interview transcript via Strictly Robsten, Meyer and Stewart chatted like old friends, making it easier for Stewart to relax and give a great interview. Both ladies were emotionally drained during the wedding scene, since everyone was so sleep-deprived from filming. “The last night… I was exhausted, and it’s funny, Rob [Pattinson] was actually way more energetic than I was at the end of it,” Stewart told Meyers.
On filming the final scenes of the Twilight saga:
“Even thinking about it now kind of freaks me out. On the final night of filming, I was literally pulling out my hair and crying and having to walk away for a second because my voice wasn’t working anymore.”On being misquoted in the press:
“It bugs me! False impressions are the worst! It definitely makes me watch my words. Even right now, I’m going, OK, how do you talk about this? And you’ve got to have a filter.”Stewart has a fellow Twihard in Taylor Lautner:
“Me and Taylor are actual Twilight fans, so we can sit there and be totally into it! Whereas I sit there with Rob… he likes it, but he has just such a different energy. I’ve always just loved Jacob and Bella so much. Taylor is great in this one. Not to keep saying how great the movie is, but …”On her pretty “basic” style:
“I have a uniform of sorts–I will be comfortable in a certain hoodie of mine no matter what mood I am in. And there’s nothing better than a new stack of white V-neck. For me, “changing” is either a new T-shirt. And I need pockets, ’cause if I carried a bag, I’d lose it purposely.”

Hypnotically sensual, Stewart caught our eye with her sleepy, sexy hippie-teen turn in Sean Penn’s 2007 meditation on off-the-grid living, then lent astonishing gravity—her critics might choose other words—to the Twilight franchise. Next up, she’ll play Snow White in the 2012 live-action remake.

Check out the video here! I think it is a simple yet beautiful video.
Kristen Stewart landed her talent agent after impressing him with a “serious dreidel song” during a “forced” school performance when she was eight years old.
The actress, now 21, admits she did not want to take part in the variety show and ended up having to sing a mundane tune about the traditional Jewish spinning top most associated with the Hanukkah holiday – but it was enough to grab the attention of a talent scout watching from the audience.
She tells W magazine, “It’s weird, because I would be the last person in my school to be in plays, but I was forced to sing a song in a school thing. I sang a dreidel song, which is funny for me. I’ve never celebrated Hanukkah – it wasn’t in my upbringing, but it was one of those deals where everybody has to pick a song or participate somehow in the chorus. It wasn’t the normal dreidel song; I can’t really remember the words, but it was a more serious dreidel song.
“That’s how I met my agent, who was in the audience. I was eight. I was nine when I did my first movie, The Safety of Objects.”
She went on to star alongside Jodie Foster in Panic Room at the age of 10, before soaring to superstardom as Bella Swan in the Twilight film franchise. (Source)
She’s about to marry co-star Robert Pattinson on the big screen in Twilight: Breaking Dawn — Part 1, but Kristen Stewart has revealed she’s not into the idea of marriage in real life.
When asked by Germany’s TVMovie magazine whether she believes in marriage, Kristen said:
“I like the thought of two people staying together for the rest of their lives. For me, however, this doesn’t need to be sealed with signatures.”
It doesn’t mean the 21-year-old doesn’t like the wedding in the upcoming Breaking Dawn movie. She told the same magazine that she loves Bella’s dress, because “it’s old-fashioned, but that’s exactly what I like”.
Well, not really. She quickly added that it’s perfect for Bella, not her. “No, no. But it fits for Bella, and that’s most important,” she said.
For months, it’s been rumored that Kristen Stewart would appear on the September cover of W Magazine, and now, via Twitter Magazine Shelf has confirmed it.
