Stewart, 22, has upset many of her "Twilight" fans at a time when the last and final film is still to come November 16. And while she and estranged boyfriend Rob Pattinson did publicity at Comic-Con, there's more junketing ahead. Summit marketing and Stewart and Pattinson's reps have some tricky maneuvering in the coming months. And Pattinson is starting to promote his Cannes film, "Cosmopolis," for which he will appear on Good Morning America this Wednesday, in a lucky ratings stroke.
Universal has time on its side as they wait to see Koepp's script. Question is, should Sanders and Stewart work together again? (Watch Universal offer Sanders another movie.) Universal is eager to bring back Stewart's two hunky co-stars: Hemsworth is coming off Marvel's blockbuster "The Avengers" and has the "Thor" sequel coming up, while Claflin is set to play heroic Finnick Odair in "Hunger Games" sequel "Catching Fire," a juicy role that will build his profile. But will Stewart's one-time fans want to salivate over a virginal Snow White choosing between two swains, "Twilight" style? On the other hand, any sequel is a long way off, when Stewart will have presumably moved on with her life.

Kristen is the actress most integrates I've seen, it has only one ambition: to do their work honestly be dedicated and a have good result, she does not want appear she did not want to be a celebrity she just wants to be a respected actress, she has talent and will get there!

There is something very odd and contrived is going on with this story. And a lot of sites like Gossip Cop and now US Weekly are working very hard to push the 'they didn't have sex' story. If Pattinson is part of a hoax I will be very disappointed. Stewart, I can readily believe it, her ambition far outweighs her integrity. But I thought Pattinson was different. But it can't be denied that both have movies and DVD's to promote. We live and we learn I guess.

Wake up fangirls. Stewart had sex with another man. Those pictures are just one day. What about all the other days and nights, the on-location sex? Stewart herself wants out. She just didn't have the guts to leave her relationship with Pattinson with decency and class. .

Yes she has a large fan base, I am one of them ..... I'm supporting her now more than ever, it is a wonderful actress and very young, will overcome this moment!! GO KRISTEN!!

no body no if Krist had sex with Sander, or not so I think it is wrong to emply that she did. No one saw them having sex, so lay off. This is hard eough for Rob and Kristen
Work will determine Stewart's future but she did have sex with Sanders | August 7, 2012 6:30 AM
As Thompson correctly says, the long term prospects of Stewart will be down to the work and nothing else. But any dispute over whether or not she slept with Sanders is ridiculous. Those pictures clearly show sexual intimacy. In the unlikely event they hadn't yet slept together, does anyone with half a brain really doubt that was on the cards? You don't apologize in the extreme the way Sanders and Stewart did for petting. They had sex. The End.

Sanders and Stewart's next collaboration should be a sex tape.

She's a bad actress with one facial expression.

Agreed, Universal has time to give Sanders another assignment and keep the sequel moving forward.

The Twihards are not the problem. While some Twilight fans have turned against her, I have also seen massive support for Stewart all over twitter and youtube. She has a very strong, vocal fanbase worldwide. Yes, the pictures did indicate a degree of intimacy with her Snow White director, but there was no clear cut evidence of sexual intecourse in any of them. I believe she'll be fine in the long run. She just has to continue to lay low in the meantime, concentrate on her upcoming promotional/film preparation obligations and work on repairing her relationship with Pattinson, which seemed to be her biggest concern in her released apology. If anything, she most likely will come out of this a much stronger individual. Claire Danes and Sienna Miller , both young female actresses in their 20s who overcame similar scandals, come to mind.

You are talking to a generation of people who are obsessed with 50 shades of grey. Is everyone really that shocked? Kissing a married man is not a crime. You are comparing her to people who have committed a crime and gone to jail. Really she screwed up and made a very bad decision but don't most people in their early twenties make bad choices every now and then. Give her a break. The media act like they want a crucifiction including this article. She is just a girl who made a bad decision get over it.

You forgot one question: Would Rupert Sander's wife be willing to let her husband work with Kristen Stewart? There's communication between Rupert Sanders and Kristen Stewart now? It doesn't seem the case. It's impossible to do SWATH2 with both. Wait and see how RS gets a new gig soon from Universal.

didn't a while back the head of universal say they wanted to focus on the huntsman more for the sequel. i saw the film, and his story could make an interesting movie. i probably wouldn't pay to see it to begin with, the first movie was bad enough. if i was hemsworth i would walk now on this. he has better projects on his plate vs this movie. as for otr, i think hellund deserves more of a shot at awards then stewart. she was ok, but he was great. it they wanted the film or her to get awards weinstein should have bought the movie. there are too better movies out there that i see getting it before otr and stewart.

Are Twihards seriously not over this yet? So overblown. I actually think it will drum up even more interest if Sanders and Stewart come back, but i doubt it will work out that way. What an idiot Sanders is to throw a spanner in the works on his first feature film. Stewart will be fine regardless. If anything this helps her be rid of the Twilight legacy way faster than she would have. I like her and i enjoyed the first film, so i will see it.
