The new drama will focus on Diana’s icy relationship with Prince Charles in December 1991 leading up to their divorce.
“The Prince and Princess of Wales’ marriage has long since grown cold. Though rumors of affairs and a divorce abound, peace is ordained for the Christmas festivities at Sandringham Estate. There’s eating and drinking, shooting and hunting. Diana knows the game. This year, things will be a whole lot different.“
Joining Stewart among the cast include BAFTA Award nominee Timothy Spall (“Mr. Turner“), Academy Award nominee Sally Hawkins (“The Shape of Water“), and Sean Harris (“The Green Knight,” “Mission: Impossible –Fallout,” “Prometheus“).
“Spencer” will debut at the Venice Film Festival and will also screen at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Stewart won’t stop there with artful projects as she is currently shooting David Cronenberg‘s latest pic “Crimes of The Future” in Greece with a call-sheet that consists of names such as Viggo Mortensen (“Eastern Promises“), Lea Seydoux (“No Time To Die,” “The Lobster“), Scott Speedman (“Dark Blue“), and others. The film is expected to have a mix of sci-fi and body horror elements that Cronenberg is best known for.
