Kristen Stewart is officially set to play Princess Diana in an upcoming biopic titled Spencer.

Pablo Larraín, who famously directed 2016’s Jackie that earned Natalie Portman an Oscar nomination, will helm the project. Steven Knight wrote the screenplay for the film and it is currently being eyed to start production in early 2021.

According to reports, the plot of Spencer focuses on a particular weekend in the early 1990s during Christmas when Diana makes the decision to separate from her marriage to Prince Charles. Thoughts?

This is so poorly timed. Were gonna see Diana’s story on The Crown shortly. When Darkest Hour came out around the same time as the first season with Churchill, at least it was centered around a period of his life that wouldn’t be seen on the show.

Kristen Stewart is a talented actress, but she has a very… specific charisma that is simply not suitable for Princess Diana.

I doubt this film will get anywhere near as many viewers and as much love as The Crown.

This is really bizarre casting, but the premise sounds great and Pablo at the helm is very promising. Jackie was brilliant, so maybe he’ll be able to get the same type of performance out of Stewart, even if she’s not on the same level as Portman.

Pablo Larraín!  But Kristen Stewart and Steven Knight.  Hmm.

Colman has an Oscar, 3 Golden Globes, 4 BAFTAs, and talent.  StEWart has what exactly?  A Razzie, 4 Kid’s Choice Awards, and a bad haircut?

Stop stanning mediocrity.
