AN 'OL CO-STAR TWEETS "SHE'S THE BEST"




(Corbin Bleu as 'Austin', Stewart as 'Maddy', Thieriot as 'Gus')
Fox


"She's the best" actor Max Thieriot tweeted when asked, "How was it working with Kristen Stewart?"  Max starred with Kristen in the 2004 movie "Catch That Kid".  In, 2008, Max and Kristen were in the film "Jumper" where Kristen has a brief cameo.


Kristen has always consistently received compliments from her co-stars, former directors etc... over the years.  This is nothing new.  Skeptics may say that the Hollywood types always give each other compliments. Not true.  There have been plenty of  Twitter fights.

But hearing nice things from an old co-star must feel good.




(IMDb)

IMDb Pro has Max listed in 3 films that are currently in post production:

"Yellow", "Foreverland" and "House at the End of the Street"

IS "W" A POSSIBILITY FOR STEWART?




(Vanity Fair)


Styleite keeps the rumors going about Kristen Stewart possibly appearing on the cover of "W" magazine.  Styleite has reported since May that this is a possibility.   Fall will be here soon before you know it so we will soon see if they have been right.

Read more here about the possible upcoming covers for the coveted fall magazines.

SWATH'S A-LIST CASTING IS RECEIVING PRAISES

Fans are not the only ones excited about the recent casting announcements for Snow White and the Huntsmen.  VH1's, The Fablife, appears to be just as excited. 

The Fablife writes:

Hats off to the casting team in charge of Snow White and the Huntsman, Kristen Stewart‘s next film which is currently in the pre-production stage in London. Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron and Sam Clafin are headlining alongside Stewart, but the supporting crew is equally as A-List. Bob Hoskins, Ian McShane, Eddie Izzard and Eddie Marsan (OMG have you seen Sherlock? See Sherlock!) have all signed on board to play dwarfs. Just this weekend it was announced that Hurt Locker actor Sam Spruell and supermodel Lily Cole have also joined the film as Finn, the Queen’s “henchman” and Greta, respectively.
 
The latest additions to the cast highlight Universal’s impressive job at rounding up talent for the film. Theron is an Oscar winner, Hoskins is Oscar-nominated, Hemsworth is set to be the next big action star, Stewart is arguably the most sought after actress of her generation..."

Breathe, The Fablife, breathe, we understand.

UPDATE!!

SWATH producer Palak Patel sent 3 additional responses via Twitter.   

He has indicated that he wants to answer all questions but cannot at this time but will in the future.  The responses he provided are really insightful. See them all below.



SWATH producer Palak Patel tweeted responses to our question as well as other fan questions this evening. 

If you haven't been excited before, these answers should at least peak your curiosity.  But we'll be excited for you.  

Here's the latest regarding SWATH!

Oh how time flies when you're having fun.  It's almost here. Monday is the big day for Prince Charmant a.k.a. Sam Claflin.  We're going to miss posting these pictures everyday.  

Well, check out the latest. Enjoy! 

FAN DISCUSSION:  "THE MYSTERY CHARACTER: WHO'S 'GRETA'?"

(Google Images)

It is being bantered around Twitterville, on IMDb and various sites asking the question, "Who is Greta?"  Well we know who isn't telling, Palak Patel, producer of Snow White and the Hunstman.

Patel tweeted, "Don't you want it to be a surprise? Don't want to ruin it for others" when asked who was Greta.

Here is a random guess but don't hold us to it.  Here goes:


1.  The actress has reddish hair.
2.  Her name is Greta.
3.  This story is based on a fairy tale.

Two options taking it from a fairy tale perspective:


A. She's playing Little Red Riding Hood, or
B. Gretel as in "Hansel and Gretel".

EB's guess is Red Riding Hood with the optional Gretel.  We are reserving the right for future guesses but it's a start.

What's your theory? Tell us what you think below.

NEW SWATH CASTING CALL ANNOUNCED: LORD OF THE RINGS INSPIRATION?




(New Line Cinema)




Hidden in a London newspaper, a SWATH casting call for dwarfs was announced yesterday and it went unnoticed or ignored by the standard entertainment news outlets.

This casting call appears to be in relation to the all-important "dwarf special effects" and maybe even something more. Warwick Davis best known for his roles in Harry Potter as 'Professor Flitwick' and 'Griphook' and as the ewok 'Wicket' in the Star Wars movies, told The London Evening Standard that "This is a great opportunity for shorter actors. It is something that can make a career and change someone's life."

No, this story does not have the sex appeal of the casting of an Ian McShane, however this casting call gives us some insights into the production of SWATH and maybe even a clue as to what shape the film will take.  Based on producer Palak Patel's tweet yesterday, he is not going to try to reveal too much to the fans in order to maintain some surprises and most likely not to provide any information to Relativity as well.  This is a business after all.

In the 'Lord of the Rings' movies, there were "stand-ins" for the lead actors who reflected the appropriate height of what was considered to be a hobbit or a dwarf.  When the scene required a "wide shot" or a shot to show the contrasts in height with taller actors, the shorter actors replaced the leads and it worked. No additional special effects were required.

But why such a massive casting call for shorter actors on different continents around the world when there are only seven dwarfs? Could it be for a major "war scene" that utilizes a large number of the shorter actors. "Caesar" is the dwarf leader and leading more than seven seems logical.  

In addition to the dwarf casting, Universal is also looking for "handsome" 6 feet tall actors as well.

This movie just gets better as the days go along.

The London Evening Standard reported the following: 

"A London casting company has launched a global hunt for men who are under 4ft 6in to appear alongside the 5ft 9½in actress in a new film.

Universal, the studio making Snow White And The Huntsman, is looking for up to 10 "vertically challenged" actors to take the part of the dwarfs in the remake of the traditional fairytale.

The brief is so specialised they are searching the globe to find the right candidates with applications from as far away as New Zealand and Australia. Producers are not looking simply for professional actors but it will help if applicants can ride a horse.

Sarah Dickinson, director of the Casting Collective, said: "Anyone of the right height will be considered as long as they are fit and able. This is an unusual opportunity for people to come forward. We will be looking for handsome 6ft men as extras as well so no one is left out."

CHRIS WEITZ WOULD LOVE TO WORK WITH KRISTEN AGAIN





(Google Images)

Kristen Stewart appeared at LAFF yesterday to support Chris Weitz, director of 'A Better Life' which played at the festival.

During an interview with Celebuzz, Weitz was asked who he would work with again and he replied that he would work with "Kristen, Rob [Pattinson] and Taylor [Lautner].  If they let me! Sure."

It is apparent that he enjoyed working with the three actors during the filming of 'New Moon'.  Weitz provides more insights:

What does it mean to have the support of your former cast-members like Kristen and Taylor here tonight?

"It’s tremendous. I think it’s really cool. I mean because every time they come out, they face a gamut of fans and get screamed at and everything and they have to dress up and think like ‘Oh what am I supposed to wear tonight.’ It would much easier for them to just watch the DVD at home. I’m really touched that they’ve come out tonight, and it’s great to see them because I’m really fond of them."

It is truly nice to see people be genuine in Hollywood.  Since we know that Weitz has passionately defended Stewart on Twitter, we know his feelings are true.

CASTING UPDATE: "NEGOTIATIONS" vs "SIGNING A CONTRACT"




Ray Winstone to be cast as the dwarf "Trajan"

UPDATE:  Producer Palak Patel tweeted confirmation of the dwarf casting:

@palakspatel  Thx for all the kind mentions! Very excited about IanMcShane, Bob Hoskins, Eddie Izzard, Toby Jones, Eddie Marsan playing the dwarves #SWATH

@palakspatel  Ray Winstone Rounds Out Cast of Dwarfs in Snow White and the Huntsman! http://t.co/Y2lb1oi #SWATH #SnowWhiteAndTheHuntsman

This is our press release as far as we're concerned.  Now we can breathe, we have our dwarfs.


There has been a little confusion on Twitter with SWATH fans regarding the recent reports of who is currently being cast.  We are being a little cautious here at The Enchanting Beauty because of the "semantics" being used. 

Until we receive an "official press release" from Universal Pictures, we will cite the reports of who is being cast but will proceed with caution with stating that "this is the official cast".

What has to be understood is that entertainment sites and reporters want to be the first to report the "breaking news" or have the "exclusive".  But we all have to be vigilant and make sure what we are reading and hearing is factually correct.

CALLING ON ALL U.K. SWATH FANS!!!!!  WE NEED PICS!

Now that we know that SWATH will be filming in the U.K.. we need some help from our sisters and brothers across the pond.

We need to find out the inside scoop regarding status of set building, locations etc... for the filming of Snow White and the Huntsman.

Send us your video or pictures of fan encounters, sets, media coverage on television, newspapers etc...  via our email at swath83@gmail.com and we'll post them as soon as we can.  You can DM them via Twitter @nchantng as well, just let us know to follow you.

Give us an explanation of what the photo is about and if it is a fan encounter, fill us in on the deets of the encounter.

Now, we do not condone stalking, harassing or disturbing the set by any means and please don't.  Whatever happens naturally happens and please do not give away the exact locations.

However, we are in need of some SWATH news over here in the States and we're counting on the U.K. fans to help us out.

Hope to hear from you soon!!

KRISTEN ARRIVES AT 'LAFF' TO SUPPORT CHRIS WEITZ'S 'A BETTER LIFE'






(Google Images)

 


Kristen Stewart arrives at the 2011 Los Angeles Film Festival (LAFF) and walked the red carpet for the film  'A Better Life' in support of its director, Chris Weitz.  Stewart worked with Weitz when he directed her in the movie 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon'.

Taylor Lautner, Stewart's co-star in 'New Moon', walked the carpet as well.  'A Better Life' is a film about the life of a immigrant family which opens this Friday, June 24th.  






  





'THE WRAP' SAYS IT'S ALL ABOUT THE 'EFFECTS'

The Wrap reports that Universal will be utilizing visual effects to change the actor's dimensions in order to meet the dwarf's characteristics.   This would appear to be an obvious call since Ian McShane, who was the first actor to sign on to be a dwarf, is said to be 5-foot-9 in height. McShane is cast to play 'Caesar, The Dwarf Leader'. 

Earlier today, it was reported that there are additional dwarfs that are in negotiations to be signed.  Bob Hoskins and Eddie Izzard are the names being mentioned. 

We are just awaiting confirmation and anticipating the naming of more of the cast.  This is an exciting time for fans who cannot wait to hear what is next.

Read more at The Wrap.

MORE CASTING NEWS! BOB HOSKINS & EDDIE IZZARD LEAD THE WAY!!

 

 























When producer Palak Patel tweeted us a few days ago that news would be coming soon, who would of thought it would be this good.

The Hollywood Reporter has announced that the  great Bob "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" Hoskins, Eddie Izzard & Toby Jones are the latest actors who are currently in talks to be cast as drawfs in 'Snow White and the Huntsman'. 

THR states, "Eddie Marsan (Sherlock Holmes) and Steven Graham are in negotiations to play warriors in the film". It was announced yesterday that Ian McShane was cast as 'Caesar, The Dwarf Leader'. 

THR further states that Hoskins will play  "Constantine, a blind dwarf".  Izzard  will be 'Tiberius' who is "described as the biggest and burliest of the crew" and Jones will play "a timid dwarf named Claudius".


Fans should be ecstatic if these actors are signed.  The prestigious careers of Hoskins and Izzard alone raise expectations for SWATH.


Has Universal reserved all of the IMAX screens yet? Tell us what you think about the possible new cast members below.

IAN MCSHANE IS CAST AS A 'DWARF'

(Source)

The Hollywood Reporter is reporting the following:

"The actor, currently seen on screen as Blackbeard in Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, has signed to play one of the dwarfs in Universal’s Snow White adventure movie.'

"McShane will play Caesar, the leader of the dwarfs. Universal is in the process of casting the rest of his crew."

This elite Hollywood actor, is also known for his roles in HBO's critically acclaimed 'Deadwood' and was recently in the television mini series, 'The Pilars of the Earth' which also co-starred SWATH actor, Sam Claflin who is playing 'The Prince'. 

McShane who is known for his 'tough man' roles has even done voice overs for a character in the children's movie 'Kung Fu Panda'.

The addition of McShane has up the ante on where Universal wants to take SWATH.  This is great news for fans to have such an established, respected actor in this role.

Is this the news producer Palak Patel was referring to?  If so, it's great news!!  We cannot wait to hear more.

Read the rest here at The Hollywood Reporter. Stay tuned.
