The first poster of ‘Spencer’, the upcoming biopic about Princess Diana starring Kristen Stewart, has finally been unveiled.
According to ANI, the ‘Twilight’ alum will star as Princess Diana’s marriage to and subsequent divorce from Prince Charles. The two royals were married for 15 years before announcing a strapless ball gown.
The trailer opens with preparations being made for Christmas events, with Stewart’s Diana revealed looking unwell as people are waiting for her. Subsequent scenes show Diana with family, facing a crush of photographers, isolated, dancing, and, near the end, running away.
Spencer also stars Timothy Spall, Jack Farthing, Sally Hawkins, and Sean Harris. The Venice Film Festival and Toronto International Film Festival will host special screenings of the film before it is released in theaters on Nov. 5.
The events in the film were also depicted in the most recent season of Netflix’s The Crown, where Diana and Charles were portrayed by Emma Corrin and Josh O’Connor. Princess Diana died in 1997 after a car crash in Paris.
The screenplay for Spencer was written by Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders, Locked Down). Larraín, who also produced Spencer, previously directed the 2016 biopic, Jackie. NEON and Topic Studios are the co-distributors behind the film.
