NEON and Topic Studios have co-acquired the U.S. rights to director Pablo Larraín’s (Jackie, Neruda, Lisey’s Story) Spencer starring Kristen Stewart (Seberg, Underwater, Still Alice) as Princess Diana.
The movie won’t deal with Princess Diana’s tragic death after she left that palace life, but will examine the fraying of the relationship with her husband and her ferocious love for her sons Prince William and Prince Henry.
The movie will be released by NEON, with plans to be announced at a later date.
Spencer will be produced by Larraín along with Fabula partner Juan de Dios, Jonas Dornbach, Janine Jackowski, and Paul Webster.
