Twilight star Kristen Stewart has reportedly got into negotiations for her to star as Snow White is the upcoming Universal’s movie Snow White and the Huntsman.

A few days ago, Stewart was included on the short list of actresses being eyed to portray the fairest one of them all. While she did not undergo screen test for the role because of her current Hollywood A-list status, there are other young actresses who underwent screening procedures to try their luck into ending up to the big role.

The negotiations to have Stewart play the role were tight as the offer landed to her over the weekend although there is still no signing yet.

Viggo Mortensen is in negotiations to be cast as The Huntsman. Snow White and the Huntsman presents a twist on the classic tale by adding the character of the Huntsman who will teach and protect Snow White against the evil queen.
