Are they for real...?

So, it's been splashed all over the media that Kristen Stewart cheated on her BF with the - married! - SWATH director Rupert Sanders. And the result is? Universal dropped Kristen Stewart from the SWATH sequel but Sanders might still direct it! Source. And not just that, Universal broke all ties with Stewart but just bought another stuff for Sanders to direct, the book "90 Church", as Deadline reports (sorry, LJ doesn't allow linking to Deadline's articles)!

Are they for real?! As actors like Sophia Bush and Clark Gregg posted on Twitter, this stinks of double standards and misogyny to the high heaven! So, a woman and a man cheat on their partners and the woman loses her job and the man not only keeps it but gets a reward? What the fuckity fuck! I hate, hate, HATE cheaters but this is taking it a dozens steps too far! Convicted felons get hired in Hollywood and Kristen Stewart is dropped because she cheated on her BF?! I didn't see anyone dropping Brad Pitt or Johnny Depp over the same thing and their latest movies earned less than Stewart's! I'm literally seeing red now.

Now they want to turn the sequel into a spin-off, focusing on the Huntsman. I did like Chris Hemsworth in that part but for me, the movie was so good because of BOTH, Snow and the Huntsman! They were amazing in their roles - which I couldn't say about the directing because one of the movie's problems was the pacing. And instead of fixing that by hiring a new director, they drop the movie's star... My excitement for the sequel-now-spin-off dropped to a minimum.
