Walter Salles’ long-awaited screen adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s On the Road got its in-competition red carpet premiere tonight at the Cannes Film Festival. The reception from critics has so far been mixed, with most having something to say about the amount of time star Kristen Stewart spends with her clothes off. (I guess that’s the way to shed your teen heart-throb image. Her Twilight costar and real-life paramour Robert Pattinson must agree since he apparently does the same in Bel Ami.)

Speaking of RPatz, I think this is an example of what Gerard Butler was alluding to when he said “you can’t really do down other people’s press-lines” and what I meant when I said that if someone not associated with a movie stole the spotlight it was the fault of the press and not the attendee. While it’s lovely that he’s there to support KStew (plus he has a movie, Cosmopolis,  also screening in competition later this week) there are at least as many pics of Pattinson at this premiere out there on the web as there are of Kristen Stewart. Not only might a casual observer think that Pattinson was in the movie, but that he and Stewart were in it alone. If I were Kirsten Dunst, Sam Riley, Garret Hedlund or Tom Sturridge, I’d be pissed. Viggo Mortensen probably doesn’t care one way or another. 

Enjoy the pics from the On the Road premiere as well as the photocall earlier in the day!

*observations: Kiki Dunst looked very pretty at the photocall, almost bridal-wonder if that was a message for Garrett Hedlund? Also, Tom Sturridge does not look old enough to be Sienna Miller's baby-daddy (He's actually 26 to her 30 so I guess he is).

Charlize Theron along with costars Chris Hemsworth and Kristen Stewart sat down for one of Moviefone’s Unscripted Interview segments in promotion of their new film Snow White and the Huntsman (perhaps you’ve heard of it?) The questions themselves are not very interesting but we do learn a bit about these three from their answers and their banter.

Kristen Stewart is obviously very shy (either that or she’s on crack). While she does seem to have a good relationship with  her costars, she doesn’t like addressing the camera when talking about herself.  Hemsworth seemed both the most natural and had the least to say. Theron was clearly the “leader” of this group, which makes sense given that Oscar and her experience.

Someone needs to get Charlize Theron a comedy. She’s got a great sense of humor that the serious nature of most of her roles does not allow to come through. She’s also not afraid to poke fun at herself as the “diva” moment in the first video shows. She also drops more F-bombs in the main interview than Gerard Butler ever thought about. (If Abigail Breslin had gotten a hold of her on the set of Nim’s Island, she’d have gotten Theron’s whole paycheck.*)

Rupert Sanders’ Snow White and the Huntsman also stars Sam Claflin, Lily Cole, Ian McShane, Ray Winstone, Toby Jones, Nick Frost, Eddie Marsan and Bob Hoskins. It opens everywhere on June 1.

 *during the filming of 2008’s Nim’s Island, then 12 year old Abigail Breslin made her costar pay a penalty into a “swear jar” every time Gerard Butler let fly with an expletive. She made quite a bit of money for a local Australian animal charity.

Hot off of last night’s World Premiere of Snow White and the Huntsman, Universal has not only dropped a big bunch of new images, but also some new clips and videos for your perusal and enjoyment!

“The Huntsman Gets into a Bar Fight”:

This one is called “William Joins Finn and his Riders”. Of course, we don’t really know who Finn is. (He does appear to be one of the Queen’s men.) But this does give us a look at Prince William. He has been entirely too absent in all of the stuff we’ve been given thus far. Makes me wonder just how important a role the Prince plays in this story.

So, let’s hear from Sam Claflin and his thoughts on William:

We’ll be back with more. We’ll hear from the “dwarves” next!  Snow White and the Huntsman with Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth opens June 1!

This evening Monday May 14, in London,  Leicester Square was transformed into “the magical world of Snow White” for the world premiere of Rupert Sanders’ Snow White and the Huntsman.  

Charlize Theron was in Christian Dior Couture. (Fitting since she's the face of their brand), and Kristen Stewart was in the ugliest Marchesa I have ever seen. For one thing, you know a dress is bad when it makes the ass of a 21 year old stick bug look enormous, for another, it made her look as flat chested as an adolescent boy, for another it was just all-out hideous.  I wasn’t crazy about Charlize’s dress at first, but it grew on me. Plus her makeup was flawless and she worked that dress. She was fierce.

As for Papa Hemsworth, he looked very happy (and very gorgeous) even though I’m sure he was exhausted. I love the pic of Charlize giving him what looks like a genuinely warm embrace. They’ve both become first-time parents since they made the movie together.

The best pics are of Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron obviously baiting each other in character while Chris Hemsworth looks on. They’re almost using him as a prop.

We have some pics of the “dwarves” who made the scene including Nick Frost, Eddie Marsan and two of my favorite geezers, Ray Winstone and Ian McShane.

Also in attendance were LIberty Ross, who plays Snow's mother, Queen Eleanor and Lily Cole, who plays Rose.

Enjoy the pics! Snow White and the Huntsman opens on Friday June 1 everywhere. I’m sure we’ll have a lot more before then!

In today’s Snow White and the Huntsman news, we have two B-rolls of behind-the-scenes footage. We get glimpses of various scenes, most of which we’ve seen in trailers and other clips, being made and what goes into what we see on the screen. The best part is that the filmmakers have given us these inside looks without spoiling anything. Take a look for yourself.

Snow White and the Huntsman delivers a twist to the fairy tale, the Huntsman ordered to take Snow White into the woods to be killed winds up becoming her protector and mentor in a quest to vanquish the Evil Queen.

Snow White and the Huntsman stars Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron, Chris Hemsworth, Sam Claflin, Ian McShane, Bob Hoskins, Nick Frost, Toby Jones and Eddie Marsan. It opens everywhere on June 1st

In this new clip from Rupert Sanders’ Snow White and the Huntsman, a dark and violent version of the Grimm tale to be sure, we get a glimpse of just how dark and just how violent. Charlize Theron looks capable of eating Chris Hemsworth’s face off, or at the very least making him do as he's told. (I do like, by the way, the northern English accent that Aussie Hemsworth seems to have taken on. The brief snippet that can be heard here is better than Theron’s posh one, at any rate. I realize this is a reversal of my earlier opinion. It hasn’t grown on my in the intervening months since we first heard it, rather the opposite.)

The clip is short but full of menace. Take a look:

In a truly silly junket appearance on MTV, the cast of Snow White and the Huntsman played a rapid-fire Q & A game called “The Yes/No Show” where the participants could only answer, you guessed it, yes or no to whatever question was posed to them. Among the vital tidbits of information gleaned, we learned that Chris Hemsworth has consumed an apple martini, Charlize Theron has skinny-dipped and Kristen Stewart owns no porn. Watch:

Your reward for sitting through that is the clip that they referred to the top of the segment, “Snow White vs The Evil Queen”:

Snow White and the Huntsman with Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron and Sam Claflin opens June 1 everywhere.

You have to hand it to Universal Pictures. They have managed to get a lot of mileage out of three simple images of the stars of their upcoming Snow White and the Huntsman.  The marketing gurus at the studio have given us a plethora of posters already and have just debuted yet another which, while equally as gorgeous as all of the others, really doesn't show us anything new.

Maybe I’m just getting anxious. We’ve been talking about this movie for nearly a year and I want to see it already!

The stars have started on the promotional circuit so we know we’re getting close. Charlize Theron was first out of the gate having accepted the Distinguished Decade of Achievement in Film Award at CinemaCon in Las Vegas last month and screening a clip from SWatH. (Of course she’ll also be seen in Prometheus a week after SWatH opens.) Chris Hemsworth has been busy touring the world in promotion of a little movie called The Avengers (it could use all the help it can get, right?) in between filming Rush in Europe for Ron Howard. He’ll probably start racking up more frequent flyer miles in service of SWatH soon. (Although the birth of a little Hemsworth may intercede.)

Kristen Stewart appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Friday night and she premiered a new clip. Check it out:
