Kristen Stewart Stars as Princess Diana in First Trailer for SPENCER
The first trailer has been released for the Princess Diana biopic Spencer, starring Kristen Stewart in the title role. The trailer seems to tap into the craziness of what it was like to become royalty overnight, and the downward spiral she went on while facing depression, marital issues, and the weight of fame.
The film, directed by Jackie filmmaker Pablo Larrain, is set in 1991 and takes place over the Christmas holiday as Diana and Prince Charles grapple with the decision to end their marriage. English actor Jack Farthing is starring alongside Stewart as Prince Charles.
Here’s the full synopsis:
“The marriage of Princess Diana and Prince Charles has long since grown cold. Though rumors of affairs and a divorce abound, peace is ordained for the Christmas festivities at the Queen’s Sandringham Estate. There’s eating and drinking, shooting and hunting. Diana knows the game. But this year, things will be profoundly different. ‘Spencer’ is an imagining of what might have happened during those few fateful days.”
This looks really intriguing. Stewart has really stepped up her acting chops over the years, and I think she will do great in this role. Check out the trailer below, and watch Spencer in theaters on November 5th.
