Universal is looking to build on the solid opening weekend for its "Snow White and the Huntsman," laying the groundwork for a sequel.
According to Deadline, screenwriter David Koepp ("Jurassic Park," "Spider-Man") has been tapped to pen a script for the sequel.
While Koepp was not involved in the original, Universal is reportedly not looking far for its director, talking to Rupert Sanders, who made his directorial debut with "Snow White," to secure his return.
The film, which starred Kristen Stewart ("Twilight") and Chris Hemsworth ("Thor") in the title roles along with Charlize Theron as the evil queen, grossed $56 million in its opening weekend and $82.9 million to date. It's worldwide gross tops $129 million, but it has a ways to go to reach its reported budget of $170 million.
Deadline is reporting that Sanders is not under contract for any sequels, while the actors have options for two.
Koepp has written a number of blockbusters in his career, including "Mission: Impossible," "The Lost World: Jurassic Park," "War of the Worlds" and "Angels & Demons."
