interview

Kristen Stewart from Snow White and the Huntsman

Scan here to read the full interview!

risten Stewart is best known for playing Bella Swan in The Twilight Saga (2008, 2010, 2011, 2012). Her other credits include Panic Room (2002), Zathura (2005), In the Land of Women (2007), The Messengers (2007), Into the Wild (2007), Adventureland (2009) and The Runaways (2010). This year (2012) she also stars in On the Road and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2. In Snow White and the Huntsman she takes the lead role as the usurped princess and heroine. Q: WERE YOU WORRIED ABOUT THE POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER TWILIGHT-ESQUE LOVE TRIANGLE TO SPRING UP, BETWEEN SNOW WHITE, THE HUNTSMAN AND PRINCE WILLIAM? A: It’s strange looking back and wondering what might be similar. This particular script changed so much — we didn’t have a Huntsman at all for a while. Chris stepped in and very much deﬁned how that story would lend itself to the piece. We blurred the lines of the fairytale because that’s kind of how life is. I wasn’t trying to do another version of a love triangle. Q: WHAT WAS THE MOST PHYSICALLY EXHAUSTING ASPECT OF THE SHOOT? A: The entire thing. I got so many injuries: I pulled every muscle along my waist and destroyed my thumb. I was covered in bruises and it was freezing. I spent most of the movie shaking! Rupert [Sanders, the director] really puts you there. He does not let you fake it. Whenever you see me or Chris [Hemsworth] looking miserable or cold, we were.

What is the name of the director of Snow White and the Huntsman?

4 XTRA_ROI.indd 4

Q: HOW DID IT FEEL TO SHOOT A MOVIE OF THIS SIZE; IT MUST BE YOUR BIGGEST BUDGET MOVIE TO DATE? A: You’re right. The Twilight movies are not huge productions. It’s like our little way of making movies over at the Twilight tent. So this felt enormous, but a very tiny group of people were in charge of holding it together and it was so unique and so awesome. Rupert did put his own stamp on it. It doesn’t feel like a big studio movie that you’re used to seeing, even though it is. I really like it. Q: HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS POTENTIALLY EVOLVING INTO ANOTHER FRANCHISE? A: I feel good about that. I know this looks as though I’ve found the perfect thing to prove I can hold up a franchise outside of Twilight, but I genuinely didn’t think about that. After all, it is a fairytale and the story ends, but, considering how much I enjoyed working with people like Rupert and Chris, it would be great. Also with the story, destiny has taken the character to a certain point and now it’s left her on her ass to ﬁgure out what life is about: that could be really interesting. Ruling a kingdom may not be the easiest thing in the world. Q: HOW DID YOU ENJOY SHOOTING IN ENGLAND AND LIVING IN EUROPE? A: I ﬁnd that English people often ask me if it’s weird here, but it’s not that different. Personally, it is a different experience to live in London rather than LA, there’s so much more going on. Living in LA is very isolated – I was born there and I appreciate it – but it is different from living in a place where people live in their city, among each other, and have things to be interested in. Q: IS THERE ANY SIMILARITY BETWEEN BELLA (TWILIGHT) AND SNOW WHITE? A: There is a similarity in that they become figureheads of their stories and they represent something: they’re symbols, as well as individuals. They start off as nothing and become the matriarch of everything, but that’s probably about it.

Snow White and the Huntsman is available to rent only from Xtra-vision 21st September 2012.
