Kristen Stewart Passed Over For Big Movie Role?
| July 24th, 2010 |
Kristen Stewart is apparently out of the running to play the female lead in the much-anticipated American version of “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.”
The role of Lisbeth Salander is a juicy role in what is sure to be a high-profile project, and every young actress in Hollywood is positively salivating to play the part. K-Stew was considered by many to be perfect actress for the tough, brainy heroine, and was indeed long rumored to be in serious contention to land the role.
But something happened along the way, and Stewart is no longer on the list. Recent Oscar-nominee Carey Mulligan, another rumored contender, has also recently declared that she is also no longer in the running.
Other names that are reportedly still high on the list are Natalie Portman, Mia Wasikowska (“Alice in Wonderland”) and, our favorite actress for the part, Ellen Page.
As for Stewart, she’ll have to be happy with playing Marylou, the female lead in the big-screen version of Jack Kerouac’s classic “On the Road.” And, of course, Bella in “Breaking Dawn,” which begins filming in the fall.
