After The Crown, it seems like there’s a large
slate of Diana films ready to become part of the loop. The people’s Princess
has been in our hearts ever since we first met her in the early 80s. We’ve seen
her transformation from a young teenager to an honorable princess on duty and a
doting mother of two.

Her tragic life story has struck a chord with several
filmmakers over the years – she was a muse to many while she was alive, and remains
to be an inspiration even after her passing away at the tender age of 36.

 

What Emma Corrin did with this complex
character is outstanding – in fact, it wouldn’t be wrong to claim that we’ve
never seen a more hauntingly beautiful performance of Diana Spencer. It’s hard
to imagine anyone else play out that role.

 

But we will, and it will be played by the
Kristen Stewart. When the news regarding her upcoming project came out, we were
perplexed, as we didn’t know what to expect. A chapter from the English
royalty’s will now be adapted on screen with Stewart in her disguise. And make
no mistake – this will be a life-changing week, because it’s the weekend both
Charles and Diana ended their troubled marriage.

The title of the movie is Spencer, and the
first look was released in January this year.

 

We’re going to give it to Kristen Stewart –
she has managed to pull off Diana’s mysterious tilted-head look. The
transformation looks phenomenal—considering how much pressure she must be in
while shooting for the film—as it was around the same time Emma Corrin was
earning praises from around the globe for her breakthrough performance in
Netflix original, The Crown.

We would say that Kristen Stewart is in safe
hands because Pablo Larrain actually looks like the right person for the
biopic. He had also been a primary part of Jackie, in which he had shown an
intimate depiction of the First Lady right after her husband got assassinated.

 

According to sources, it’s been revealed that
the upcoming biopic of Diana Spencer is about the three-day period in which she
made the decision to separate from Prince Charles. Basically, the movie is
about a woman who, after experiencing it all, decides it’s not worth it.

 

Spencer is about a woman who realizes that her
true happiness lies in separating from her long-time abusive husband. The emotionally-provocative
movie will delicately deal with the complexities of being a woman in limelight
and how duty can sometimes shred you into pieces.

In Diana: Her True Story in Her Own Words, we
see that before Charles entered her life, she was a blissful child with
supporting girlfriends and a happy life. In the movie, she will ultimately
realize that none of it is worth killing that blissful child. Hence, in those
three days, she’ll come to the conclusion that she doesn’t need to keep the
pieces together.

 

While
speaking to Deadline, Larrain said: “The
key is how she discovers during the process of the movie that what she really
needs to do is be who she wants to be. And by that, it doesn’t mean she needs
to be next to anyone, to be part of anything, but herself and her own
children.”

The
movie will obviously draw incidents from her real-life – how she got married to
a 32-year-old prince at the age of 19, her failed relationships, post-partum
depression, eating disorder, infidelity, divorce, and death from a tragic car
accident at 36. It is bound to be an emotional whirlwind.

The
script writing process included interviews with Diana’s close circle so as to
create an authentic portrayal of the People’s Princess. Steven Knight, the
screenplay writer, said: “I just found
the whole thing fascinating. To talk to people who knew her and to try and get
a view of this person—who this person really was—who was an ordinary person in
extraordinary situations, is the way I think of her.”

As
an actor who rose to astronomical fame after popular fantasy film, Twilight,Kristen
Stewart is an interesting choice to play the real character of Diana. Of
course, she has shown her capabilities and talent in a bunch of indie projects
like Personal Shopper and Lizzie, too. She was last seen in Happiest Season, a
Christmas romantic comedy. 

Larrain
explained to Deadline why Stewart was the right choice by saying that she is
the only actress in the current generation who can be mysterious, fragile, and strong,
all at the same time. Kristen has the ability to be vulnerable on screen with
complete abandon and that’s exactly what this role requires.

Kristen
Stewart said that after immersing herself in the literature,
she is now getting a grip on Diana’s unique accent.

She
said: “The accent is intimidating as
all hell because people know that voice, and it’s so, so distinct and
particular. I’m working on it now and already have my dialect coach.”

She
continued: “It’s one of the saddest
stories to exist ever, and I don’t want to just play Diana—I want to know her
implicitly. I haven’t been this excited about playing a part, by the way, in so
long.”
