After the news of the upcoming filming of Princess Diana’s autobiography film “Spencer” was released, it immediately sparked public discussion. Fans are very curious how this princess, who embodies fashion, beauty, elegance, and straightforwardness, will be reinterpreted. And recently, the latest related news has finally been announced, that is, the highly anticipated female lead has finally been confirmed, and it is Kristen Stewart, who gained fame from the “Twilight” series of movies!
“Spencer” will focus on Princess Diana’s last Christmas in the British royal family and the weekend she decided to divorce Prince Charles, with filming expected to begin in early 2021.
After the casting news was announced, it immediately sparked a lot of comments, with more criticism than praise. Many people questioned the inconsistency between her cool and handsome image and the elegant image of Princess Diana. Moreover, she has been involved in negative news many times, causing many to feel that if she were to play this role, it would ruin the sacred image of Princess Diana. In fact, Naomi Watts, who was previously nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress, also challenged the role of Princess Diana in a film. At that time, despite her acting skills being highly praised, she also faced ruthless criticism, indicating the high difficulty of perfectly interpreting this role.
However, film director Pablo Larrin strongly supports Kristen, pointing out that she has a high level of malleability, with both fragile and strong qualities that make her suitable for the role of Princess Diana. In fact, Kristen and Diana also have some common points. Diana was famously “rebellious” back in the day, often breaking royal rules, especially in her choice of clothing. As for Kristen, her rebellious nature goes without saying. Being able to take off her high heels directly on the red carpet, I believe there are not many actresses who can do that like her. What are your thoughts on this casting choice?
