Viggo Mortensen Drops Out of Snow White
Viggo Mortensen has reportedly declined the negotiations to play the male lead in Universal’s upcoming film Snow White and the Huntsman. Universal Studio could not afford to met Mortensen’s demands for $8 million salary and gross participation, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Other actors who have been considered for this male lead role include Johnny Deep and Tom Hardy. Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron are still set to star in the film. The film original set date was December 2012, but with Mortensen’s departure there is no word if the release date has to be set back.
