Noah Huntley, Liberty Ross In 'Snow White And The Huntsman': Kristen Stewart's Parents

We've long known that Charlize Theron would play Kristen Stewart-as-Snow White's evil stepmother in "Snow White and the Huntsman," the radical, warrior-style retelling of the classic fairytale. Now, the rest of the on-the-run princess' family has been revealed.

Producer Palak Patel tweeted Friday that Noah Huntley and Liberty Ross would play the king and queen parents of Snow White in the upcoming film, adding a veteran and a newcomer to the star-studded cast. Huntley is coming off another medieval turn, as the head knight in the stoner spoof, "Your Highness," though he'll play a more noble -- if more foolish -- character in this one.

Ross, on the other hand, has yet to appear in a film; she makes her big screen debut in Madonna's upcoming flick, "W.E," which has its own royal storyline. Ross plays, according to Vogue UK, one of King Edward VIII's mistresses before he abdicates the throne in the face of war in the 1930s. If it sounds familiar, it's also part of the story told in last year's Oscar winner, "The King's Speech."

In addition to Stewart and Theron, the two join Chris Hemsworth, who plays the titular Huntsman, and Sam Claflin, who takes on the role of Prince Charming.

The film's unconventional costumes and storyline were revealed at Comic-Con in July as it tries to separate itself from a pack that now not only includes a Relativity-produced Lily Collins-starring traditional take on the tale, which co-stars Julia Roberts as the Evil Queen and Armie Hammer as the Prince, but also a China-set radical retelling coming from Disney.

CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story indicated that the studio releasing The Lilly Collins-starring film is Summit. The correct studio is Relativity.

Can someone explain the coolness factor of a hundred-pound gal playing badass in fifty pounds of armor?

And let me guess - she jumps up and does cool air moves, too. Right?

I understand the concept of suspension of disbelief, and that adherence to the laws of physics is frowned on in special-effects epics - but at what point does it become comical?

She has a job, her job is acting. Like it or not she has a following. If I were her parent I'd be quite proud. Shes well known for Twilight and the Saga's but she has starred in other movies. Her break started in the Panic Room. She'll be around for quite some time, she's talented. We can't change the scripts shes given, we can't make her smile when it doesn't call for one. In this day and age, she has a job, she's talented and those who dislike her probably wish they were her.

She's pretty good in Adventureland, but as always Jesse Eisenberg owns every movie he's in.

That was such a bad movie and Eisenburg acted to much like that Cera guy...

What are you all talking abotu?? She smiles all the time for pix. It's not her fault that her roles require her to be dark or sullen. It's called acting.

She doesn't smile. Acts very uncomfortable and weird. Blinks her eyes so many times in movies... She was the worst choice for Isabella Swan from Twilight in my opinion.

I can't even imagine anyone else in that role.

No one should be Isabella Swan. Those movies are awful, but they make the books look like epic novels, which they aren't. The story may be interesting but why can't Twihards admit that the writing is awful? Bella Swan is a flat, one dimensional character. The majority of people who think otherwise do so because she's so flat that they feel like they can place themselves in her shoes.

I loved Kristen Stuart in Speak, but since then I haven't liked her acting. She's always pouty and looks so angry. Her voice is always flat... like Bella Swan. Maybe she's perfect for her.

Man I sound really pessimistic. Dude, She rocked in Speak. Positive comment.... Dexter is the best show ever? Positive Comment. :)

I understand ya. I love Kristen Stewart, she kicks butt in the indie movies. Twilight sucked, but it's not the actors faults they have a crappy script and none of them thought they'd even do a second one. Kristen's different, and that's what I love about her. She's an average young person in a hollywood stars body. Her parents raised her well. She's responsible with money and even though she's a bit of a rebel, she loves her fans. People get the wrong impression of her

I think she really should smile more. After all, she's being paid an awful lot of money for having no talent.

About her talent, ever seen "The Cake Eaters"?

Loved her in that movie.

Again, why does Kristen Stewart always look like she needs to go take a hellacious dump? Poop and smile, b1tch!!

i,m actually pretty sure she will not give a crap what any of us writes or thinks for that matter!! she"s getting work and being paid millions of dollars in the process.
its a win win situation for her!!
and no i,m not her biggest fan and actually think she is a bit of a one trick pony in regards to her acting, but she"s young and successful and i,m sure the movie will be a big hit.

Good actress or not she is doing what many actresses can't; WORK. Complain all you want trolls Stewarts laughing all the way to tha bank. I HATE the twilight films and books they are bad examples of a female role model, but Stewart can act. She was recently in "Welcome to the Riley's". She was also good in Adventureland and The Runnaways. I agree she does not show range but who knows in the future. All Hollywood carres about is if she can open a movie. It not about talent in the movie buisness it's all about money.

Kristen Stewart: "I'm... just... so sullen."

Are they going to have a scene in this film where Charlize Theron asks the magic mirror, "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?" The mirror would be quite a liar if it picked Kristen Stewart over Theron.

They'd have to put Ms. Theron in her "Monster" make-up to make her less attractive than Kristen Stewart.

[dacenar]

They uglied her up in the movie Monster.

she lacks expression. she doesnt get into her roles. perhaps playing dead would be a more appropiate role for her. that way she'd have no lines and no need to open her eyes.

another young actress that got cast in a runaway box office smash that cant act. shes to one way. she has no personality at all. and really no looks. and that pattinson guy is just awful. what girls see in him is beyond me. the series made them and it will break them.i wonder if it bombs, will they blame theron for it?they seem to blame the wrong person in such cases. look at megan fox and jonah hex, she was in it for 16 minutes and she was blamed for the bomb. not brolin,malkovich the stars just her. why. they were just as bad in a film that should never been made. just poor script, and poor story. no one wants cowboys anymore. unless its clint or sam elliot. just me rambling on.

Pattinson is actually good in "Water for Elephants," a movie that was unfairly maligned.

RP was also very good in "Remember Me", a film that suffered the same fate.

In that movie I didn't see him as Edward Cullin but as the Character in that movie. he did a great job.

I think I need more sleep, I misread this as "...Cliff Clavin, who takes on the role of Prince Charming." Now, that would be interesting!

I like Kristen Stewart but then I've never watched any of the Twilight movies. It's going to take her years to reclaim any acting cred she had before her career was polluted by them.

"It's going to take her years to reclaim any acting cred she had before her career was polluted by them."

So true! They should have stopped at the first Twilight movie which was in my opinion a delightfully quirky and stylized indie movie that didn't take itself too seriously (unlike the sequels). I'm a huge fan of hers. I think she's proven herself in things like the Runaways, Welcome to the Rileys, the Cake Eaters, and Speak (by far her best film). Hopefully one day the general movie-going public won't be so hard on her.

If my sister had not talked me into seeing The Runaways, I'd have wanted to give anything by Stewart a miss. I had only seen her in the first Twilight movie and to me, she was such an abysmal actress.. so one note that I planned on never watching her again. I was surprised when I saw her performance in The Runaways... really well done, especially since she was playing a real person.

[ontariogirl]

11:11 AM on 08/07/2011

Totally agree with you. I did not see any of the Twilight series and have no desire to. She is an underrated actress. IMO of course., She did amazing in The Runaways. So did DF.

[betazors]

02:52 PM on 08/07/2011

See, I fell asleep halfway through the runaways. In my opinion, Stewart is naturally "angsty" and so was Joan Jett. Not much of an acting stretch.
