Kristen Stewart will play Princess Diana in the new movie "Spencer". The role intimidates her for a reason.
Kristen Stewart (30, "Twilight") revealed in an interview with "InStyle" what worries her most about the role of Princess Diana (1961-1997), who she will play in the biopic "Spencer": " The accent is intimidating as hell because people know that voice and it's so, so clear and special. "
She works with a dialect coach in order to be able to embody the late princess as best as possible, Stewart reveals. She has also already read two and a half biographies and will have worked through all of the material before filming begins in mid-January. "It's one of the saddest stories ever, and I don't want to just play Diana – I want to know her implicitly. By the way, I haven't been this excited about playing a role in so long."
Christmas days are the focus
In 1997 Lady Di died after a car accident in Paris. According to the US industry portal "Deadline", the film "Spencer" focuses on one of Princess Diana's last Christmas parties in the royal circle. The drama takes place over three days in the early 1990s at the royal estate in Sandringham, Norfolk. Princess Diana noticed at the time that her marriage to Prince Charles (71) was working less and less and that she had to find a way out in order not to end up as Queen of England.
The film has already achieved great success: As "Deadline" announced in July, the distribution rights for "Spencer" in the virtual marketplace in Cannes have already been sold worldwide.
