Kristen Stewart may play Princess Diana in upcoming biopic

The first female American actor to win BAFTA Award also told in the interview that she has been passionately reading a number of related books and articles to get an in-depth study about Diana, the princess.

American actor and filmmaker Kristen Stewart is in talks to play the role of late Princess of Wales, Diana. The ‘Twilight’ star is ready to step into the shoes of the late Princess of Wales, Diana in an upcoming film titled ‘Spencer’; which revolves around the life of the royal who died in a car accident in 1997.

“My movie takes place over three days, and it’s this really poetic internal imagining of what that might have felt like rather than giving new information,” Stewart said.”We kind of don’t have a mark to hit, we just also love her,” the actor added.

Fox News reported that the actor also shared the difficulty she has been facing to imitate the accent of the late princess, “We don’t start shooting until mid-January. The accent is intimidating as all hell because people know that voice, and it’s so, so distinct and particular, I’m working on it now and already have my dialect coach.” The first female American actor to win BAFTA Award also told in the interview that she has been passionately reading a number of related books and articles to get an in-depth study about Diana, the princess.

“In terms of research, I’ve gotten through two and a half biographies, and I’m finishing all the material before I actually go make the movie,” Stewart said.”It’s one of the saddest stories to exist ever, and I don’t want to just play Diana — I want to know her implicitly,” she added.
