Not only does infidelity ruin marriages, it can apparently ruin movie deals too.
There was no mention of actress Kristen Stewart and director Rupert Sanders in the press release of the prequel of "Snow White and the Huntsman" last July 31.
Instead, the movie will focus on the characters of Ravenna, played by Charlize Theron, and the Hunstman Eric, played by Chris Hemsworth.

The movie will be directed by three-time Oscar nominee, Frank Darabont, who also worked on the second instalment of the franchise. Darabont is best known for "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Green Mile".
The screenplay's earlier drafts were written by Craig Mazin and Evan Spiliotopoulos.
The upcoming flick, which is produced by Joe Roth, will take follow the lives of Ravenna and Eric pre-Snow White. So, it might also be the producing studio's attempt to make believe that it's pre-Stewart-and-Sanders as well in order to erase the backlash the first movie received after the duo's infidelity surfaced.
A month after the release of the first movie in 2012, Us Weekly printed proofs of Stewart and Sanders' indiscretion. At that time, Stewart was living with his then-boyfriend and "Twilight" co-star, Robert Pattinson, and Sanders was married to British model and actress, Liberty Ross. Ross played Snow White's mother in the first movie.
Stewart and Pattison have been separated for a while, while Sanders and Ross have been able to finalize their divorce earlier this week.
In a recent interview with Esquire UK, Pattinson, who remained quiet regarding the cheating scandal, finally broke his silence about the ordeal.
"S--- happens, you know? It's just young people... it's normal! And honestly, who gives a s---? The hardest part was talking about it afterwards," he shared.
The prequel of "Snow White and the Huntsman" will be opening in theaters on April 22, 2016.
