Kristen Stewart was chosen to play the role of Princess Diana in the new film. And moviegoers have something to say about casting, writes Medialeaks.
The news of the creation of the film "Spencer" about Princess Diana with Kristen Stewart in the title role caused a mixed reaction from moviegoers. The star of "Twilight" and "Charlie's Angels" is a bad caste for the role of Lady Dee, critics say, and fans of the actress are trying to prove the opposite. But the director’s words about Kristen’s choice for the upcoming film inspire dissatisfied.
Kristen Stewart, best known for filming the Twilight franchise, Charlie's Angels and Underwater films, will play Diana, Princess of Wales, Deadline reported on June 17.
The picture with the 30-year-old actress in the title role will be called "Spencer" (the name of Lady Dee) and will show several days in the life of Diana in the early 1990s, when she realized that marriage with Prince Charles failed and she needed to deviate from the path, which will lead her to the title of Queen of Great Britain.
The film is directed by Pablo Larrain, screenwriter is Stephen Knight.
“How and why did you decide to do this? This is a wonderful universal human story that can resonate with millions and millions of people, and this is what we want to do. We want to make a film that will be widely disseminated, provide a connection with audiences around the world who are interested in such a mesmerizing life, ”explained Pablo Larrain.

The picture will not show the tragic death of Diana, but will study the decay of her relationship with her husband and her fierce love for her sons - princes William and Harry, the publication added. The production of the film should start in early 2021.
Meanwhile, in social networks, especially on Twitter, the news about the film was perceived ambiguously. Many moviegoers reacted negatively to the choice of the leading actor, the American actress.
“Sad Kristen will play the charming and charismatic Queen of Hearts ?! They made fun of it, ”users of social networks are surprised at this choice.
“The actress’s most strange choice for this role,” the Princess fans are indignant.
