Kristen Stewart to play Princess Diana in new Film SPENCER

Kristen Stewart is set to star as Diana, Princess of Wales, in the drama "Spencer" from Pablo Larrain, who also helmed the Oscar-nominated biopic "Jackie". The screenplay is penned by Steven Knight ("Peaky Blinders", "Eastern Promises"), and the film will be produced by Larrain along with Fabula partner Juan de Dios, Jonas Dornbach, Janine Jackowski and Paul Webster.

"Spencer" will cover a critical weekend in the early 1990s, when Diana decided her marriage to Prince Charles wasn’t working, and that she needed to veer from a path that put her in line to one day be queen. The drama takes place over three days, in one of her final Christmas holidays in the House of Windsor in their Sandringham estate in Norfolk, England.

The film will be unveiled to buyers at the virtual Cannes Market. Production is expected to begin in early 2021.

Larrain spoke about what interested him about this project:

"We all grew up, at least I did in my generation, reading and understanding what a fairy tale is. Usually, the prince comes and finds the princess, invites her to become his wife and eventually she becomes queen. That is the fairy tale. When someone decides not to be the queen, and says, I'd rather go and be myself, it’s a big big decision, a fairy tale upside down … that is the heart of the movie.".

DIANA (2013) Movie Clip - Naomi Watts, Naveen Andrews

The first movie clip for the Princess Diana biopic "Diana" has been released. Directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel ("Downfall"), the film focuses on the last two years of Princess Diana's (Naomi Watts) life, particularly her campaign against land mines and her relationship with heart surgeon Hasnat Khan (Naveen Andrews).

The film has been released in theaters, but it's only a limited run. The critics have not been enjoying the biopic, and although most of them praise Watts and Andrews' performances, the consensus is that it's a bland, clumsily directed film that resembles a TV production and does nothing but take advantage of Princess Diana's popularity. One critic says that the film "carries with it the whiff of Harlequin, the mouldy and tired air of a cottage paperback left on the dock." Richard Roeper called the film "one big missed opportunity". "Diana" is currently rated 9% on Rottentomatoes.com from 7 positive and 72 negative reviews.

  It has been officially announced that "The Amazing Spider-Man" is the first of a planned trilogy. The announcement was made via Facebook : "It’s finally here! The Amazing Spider-Man is the first installment in a movie trilogy that will explore how our fave hero’s journey was shaped by the disappearance of his parents." Also, writers Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci ("Transformers", "Cowboys & Aliens") have already been hired to perform rewrites on the sequel's script which was originally written by James Vanderbilt, who also penned the script for "The Amazing Spider-Man".



Guillermo Del Toro's sci-fi monster flick "Pacific Rim" has begun its teasing campaign. We have the first official image from the movie (below) featuring actors Charlie Hunnam and Rinko Kikuchi and some kick-ass robotic gear in the background, and a new teaser poster featured at the Comic Con (left). The movie also stars Idris Elba, Ron Perlman, Clifton Collins Jr. and Charlie Day and is scheduled for release on July 12, 2013 in the US.

  And back to sequels, here's one that just keeps on coming, but can't quite get there : "Ghostbusters 3". After Bill Murray chose not to get involved in this long-delayed sequel, Dan Aykroyd continues the struggle to deliver a third installment in the beloved franchise. Initially, Aykroyd announced last year that the sequel will begin filming this spring, but it's summer already and nothing happened. This week, while attending an event, the actor responded the following when asked about the status of the project : "We’ve got a new writing staff working on it now. It’s got to be prefect. That’s the whole thing. There’s no point in doing it unless it’s perfect. So that’s what we’re up to now." The poor man is willing, but I doubt we're ever going to see a reboot of the franchise anytime soon. Maybe it's for the best.

Naomi Watts to Star in Princess Diana Biopic

Oscar-nominated actress Naomi Watts has been selected to play the lead role in the biopic "Caught in Flight". Directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel ("Downfall"), the film captures the last two years of Princess Diana's life and apparently focuses on the secret love-affair between the Princess and Dr. Hasnat Khan. The biopic is said to "chart how finding true personal happiness for the first time allowed her to achieve her defining successes evolving into a major international campaigner and humanitarian." and will begin filming in the UK, later this year. Naomi Watts replaced Jessica Chastain, who had to bow out due to conflicting scheduling, and is certainly enthusiastic about playing this challenging role : "It is such an honour to be able to play this iconic role – Princess Diana was loved across the world, and I look forward to rising to the challenge of playing her on screen.". "Caught in Flight" is not the only Princess Diana biopic in the works. The other one, produced by Stephen Evans ("The Iron Lady") will be based on the book "Diana: Closely Guarded Secret", which came out in 2009, and it is rumored that Charlize Theron and Carey Mulligan are being considered for the leading role.
