Kristen Stewart was just named Forbes‘ 5th highest paid actress, making $20 million between May 2010 and May 2011.
But just when it looked like the money well might run dry for the 21-year old actress, Stewart is stepping from one movie saga coming to an end into another one set to begin filming this August.
The actress who became a household name through the Twilight series, just signed on to play an iconic fairy tale character in Snow White and the Huntsman. But that’s not all…the film’s producer, Joe Roth, has now revealed that Huntsman is being conceived as the first film in a new folklore action-adventure movie trilogy.
The series will also star Thor‘s Chris Hemsworth as the title character and Charlize Theron as her wicked royal highness.
Per EW, Huntsman will be conjured up as a Lord of the Rings’-style take on the centuries-old tale,” setting the stage for future installments. “It’s meant to be the first in a series of films,” producer Joe Roth told EW. “This story will end, but there will be questions remaining for these three characters.”
So, looks like Stewart will have a flourishing movie career for years to come even after Twilight permanently goes into dark…I am sure same can be said for newcomer Hemsworth who will probably be juggling future Huntsman films with more Thor installments.
