Twilight star Kristen Stewart is set to play the role of Princess Diana Spencer in a new movie entitled "Spencer", about the late princess's break-up from Prince Charles, according to multiple reports.
It is reported that the script will be written by Steven Knight, the creator of Peaky Blinders, and directed by Pablo Larrain.
Director Pablo Larrain described Stewart as "one of the great actors around today".
The movie will be set at Sandringham in the early 1990s and will highlight Diana realizing that her marriage is not working.
"We decided to get into a story about identity, around how a woman decides somehow, not to be the queen," Larrain stated in a press statement.
He added that she is a woman who decides and realizes that she wants to be the woman she was before she met Charles.
The production is scheduled to begin shooting next year.
