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 so talented! Can’t wait to see what she does with the role.

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

She is a good actress on good projects so why not.

Not everyone watches or cares about The Crown

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.

just like olivia colman’s career I’m ready for the Kstew Sweep 🙏🏻

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.

I don’t think Natalie and Kristen ever did similar roles for you all to compare them.

Well, this devolved into anarchy at a much slower rate than I imagined.

I think this could be interesting. Stewart does tortured and introverted well, and folks tend to forget she has won a Cesar award and critics awards for Clouds of Sils Maria.

However, I’m in the Gold Derby minority in that I didn’t love Jackie, so I will be interested in how it turns out.
