Rupert Sanders' next film announced

Rupert Sanders is apparently moving on from his Kristen Stewart affair scandal, after announcing his next film project.

The Snow White And The Huntsman director - whose marriage to model and actress Liberty Ross was rocked this summer after it was revealed he had an affair with Twilight star Kristen - will next direct The Juliet, Deadline has revealed.

The name may suggest a love story, but it is a sci-fi project set in space, based on a short story by Hugo award-winner Alfred Bester.

However, it does appear to have a romantic twist as the story has been described as "Bonnie and Clyde in space" referring to the infamous criminal lovers who lived life together on the run in the 1920s.

Henry Bean, whose previous work includes Basic Instinct 2, wrote the script.

Filming is scheduled to start in the spring.
