Keira Knightley was apparently approached for this a while back. I'm assuming she took a pass on it.

I can't see what Stewart would have to gain from this. Twilight and Snow White should have her set box office wise for the next couple years. Why sign on for another franchise that comes with so much baggage?

I'd say because Snow White isn't a guarantee and judging from the B.O. diminishings past opening weekend Twilight is a hyper-insular fanbase who will most likely outgrow the material quicker than Potter and she has to make herself visible as much as humanly possible.  Her character and even her own self are pretty bland.  She has to strike while the iron is hot no doubt.

Anyone cheering for an Akira live action American studio backed remake is a moron.

 

Stewart is awful and her slipping into this production proves just how vanilla this whole thing is.

 

Who wants to see Hedlund and Stewart starring in this?
