Universal must have confidence that its action fairytale flick, Snow White And The Huntsman, will be a success, as while the movie isn’t released until June 1st, Deadline reports that the studio is already in talks with screenwriter David Koepp (Jurassic Park) to write a sequel to the revisionist tale. The word is that Universal wants to fast-track the sequel, and is trying to secure director Rupert Sanders to make it his next project.
In Snow White And The Huntsman, Kristen Stewart stars as Snow, who teams up with the Huntsman (Chris Hemsworth) who was originally sent to kill her, so they can take down the Evil Queen (Charlize Theron) stepmother. While the film retains many elements of the original fairytale, the action and scale has been amped up significantly. The three primary actors are believed to have deals in place already to return for a follow-up.
It isn’t known when the sequel might shoot, but presuming the first film is a success, Universal wants to the sequel as soon as possible.
