RAMROD 109,723 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Pablo Larraín is set to direct and produce, and Kristen Stewart to play Princess Diana in Spencer, a drama that shapes up to be a hot package for the virtual Cannes Market. The Steven Knight-scripted film covers a critical weekend in the early ‘90s, when Diana decided her marriage to Prince Charles wasn’t working, and that she needed to veer from a path that put her in line to one day be queen. The drama takes place over three days, in one of her final Christmas holidays in the House of Windsor in their Sandringham estate in Norfolk, England. Production is expected to begin in early 2021. The film won’t deal with Diana’s tragic death after she left that palace life, but will examine the fraying of the relationship with her husband, and her ferocious love for her sons Prince William and Prince Harry. Larraín said. “Diana is such a powerful icon, where millions and millions of people, not just women, but many people around the world felt empathy toward her in her life. We decided to get into a story about identity, and around how a woman decides somehow, not to be the queen. She’s a woman who, in the journey of the movie, decides and realizes that she wants to be the woman she was before she met Charles. “It’s about finding herself, about understanding that possibly the most important thing for her is to be well, and to be with herself and by herself,” Larraín explained. “That’s why the movie is called Spencer, which is the family name she had before she met Charles. It’s very contained, set over a few days in Sandringham. They spent Christmas there for many years and that’s where we set the movie in the early ‘90s, around 1992, we’re not specific. It’s Christmas Eve, Christmas and Boxing Day, three days, very contained. We get to understand what it is she wants and what she will do. We believe that this is a movie that could create interest around the planet,” Larraín said. “This is a beloved, iconic women and we have everything in front of us to do a beautiful movie and we are working very hard to get it made.” Source: https://deadline.com/2020/06/kristen-stewart-princess-diana-pablo-larrain-film-spencer-diana-rejects-fairy-tale-ending-1202961395/ Thoughts?

LilyLark 10,106 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Oh no. Horrible, horrible choice! And I say this as someone who thinks Kristen Stewart is a very good actress–despite the Twilight jokes. For real, read reviews of her recent films & watch Seberg & Certain Women. I get why she signed up (the director, Pablo Larraín, is amazing and an Oscars favorite type)...but no. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florence looks the part more, has the accent, etc. As someone who actually likes Kristen, I really hope she drops out because if the project flops people are going to drag her so much it could do real damage to her career.

She’s been amazing in plenty of indie films, it’s her mainstream films which badly represent her talent. I’m a simple guy to please, if you like Melodrama, we chill.
