Kristen Stewart, known for her roles in Twilight and Charlie’s Angels, has been cast to play the iconic role of Princess Diana in the upcoming movie Spencer. The film, directed by Pablo Larraín, will focus on a critical weekend in the early 1990s when Diana decides to end her marriage to Prince Charles, leading to her transformation from a beloved princess to a global symbol of courage and power. Stewart’s casting has generated mixed reactions, with some expressing skepticism about her ability to portray such an influential figure. However, many are excited to see how she will bring Princess Diana’s story to life on the big screen..
According to Deadline, Kristen Stewart has been tapped to play Princess Diana in Pablo Larraín’s new indie film Spencer. This is familiar terrain for Larraín, who previously directed 2016’s Jackie, a film that examined Jackie Kennedy’s life after the assassination of her husband.
Spencer will dive into a period of time in the 90s when Diana decided her marriage to Prince Charles wasn’t working. The drama takes place over the course of three days, during one of her final Christmas holidays in the House of Windsor in their Sandringham estate in Norfolk, England. The film won’t deal with her tragic death after she left royal life, though it will examine her strained relationship with her husband as well as her role as a mother.
Steven Knight wrote the script, and if his name sounds familiar, that’s because he is the screenwriter behind the TV series Peaky Blinders. However, Knight is also responsible for Serenity, and that film was a massive flop (it has a 20% rating on Rotten Tomatoes), so Spencer could end up being massively good or a complete disaster.
The package will be unveiled to buyers at the virtual Cannes Market by CAA Media Finance and FilmNation Entertainment. Production is set to begin early 2021.
