The Music.com.au Kristen Stewart believes that most people’s notion of Snow White is the sweet, demure Disney version of the character (“unless they read a lot of fairy tales as a kid, which I didn’t), and so she admits that she didn’t really see the potential of a new Snow White story when she first heard about the film.
“I didn’t really see why anyone would want to join her cause,” she says. “Back when the Disney version was made, being a caretaker, being delicate and sweet and maternal, was kind of an ultimate goal. But to do the story today, I think she has to do a little more than sweep house. When I read it, I could totally recognise Snow White within this very dark context as someone really, really trying to retain light and not harden.
“Right now, a lot of female characters that are trying to be strong are promoted as ‘Yeah, female empowerment!’ but in this case I’m glad she remained a girl, someone trying to find her strength and her steadiness and her compassion and her trust in herself. You know, we rip her heart out and stomp on it, put it back in her chest and see if it still beats… and it does. So I thought it was really impressive, the darkness and the light of this world.”
It was revealed this week that Stewart topped the Forbes magazine list of Hollywood’s highest-paid actresses, her paydays for the last two Twilight Saga movies earning her more than $12 million (and her cut of her profits ramping it up even more). But her tastes seem to be run more towards the independent end of things, with the actress taking on roles in critically-acclaimed films like Adventureland, Into the Wild and The Runaways.
So she was happily surprised when Snow White And The Huntsman offered her the opportunity to delve a little deeper into the creative process than she imagined it would.
"I'm really truly impressed."

On the road to Cannes, a meeting with Kristen Stewart. The Twilight star is already the new protagonist in a new franchise: Snow White and the Huntsman, a dark take on the famous fairytale, out this July. Between playing Bella and Snow White, the 22 y.o actress, role model of millions of girls around the world, has taken a new challenge with herself with an adult role: she will be in competition at the Cannes Festival with On the Road, a movie adaptation of the Beat-generation defining novel, directed by Walter Salles.
“That of Marylou is a huge role, without boundaries” says Kristen. A black leather jacket, white shirt and clean jeans, Kristen speaks slowly, she often stops to correct herself, as if any concept was important and difficult for her. Marylou is the sexy and uninhibited wife of Dean Moriarty, friend and mentor of Sal Paradise, Kerouac’s alter-ego.
Kristen, On The Road is a special movie for you.
“It was one of the first adult books I read. The first to completely conquer, almost obsessed me. It opened doors and new horizons for me, it taught me to go and discover more about myself. Besides, I love diaries, chronicles, real-life stories. Especially when it’s told by an outsider’s point of view. OTR is not “just a novel”, it’s an ensemble of reality and fiction, a mix between what actually happened and Jack’s point of view. I like the truthfulness of characters, the amount of info about them that’s arrived to us, untouched.”
The scene is of Camille(Kirsten Dunst) and Sal(Sam Riley) dancing, and you can see Dean in the background. No Kristen Marylou) in this clip.

K:"At the end of shooting OTR, I had to go back to the Twi set. But I would've rather stayed "On the Road". It was an unbeatable experience. I'm totally nostalgic for that time that I've never lived. It sounds weird, but I really am."
