Chilean director Pablo Larraín’s latest project, Spencer, will see the American actor take on the role of the People’s Princess. From the production start date to the cast, here’s everything we know so far.
will be set over three critical days in the early ’90s, after which Princess Diana decided to end her marriage to Prince Charles. It will take place during one of her final Christmas holidays with the royal family at their Sandringham estate in Norfolk. “It’s very contained,” Larraín toldof the plot. “They spent Christmas there for many years and that’s where we set the movie in the early ’90s, around 1992, we’re not specific. It’s Christmas Eve, Christmas and Boxing Day.
Larraín adds that the pair’s eventual divorce in 1996 and Diana’s tragic death in 1997 will not form part of the story. “She died years after where our story is set and so we don’t deal with that,” he says. “It’s only three days of her life and in that very small amount of time, you’re able to get into a wider, bigger perspective of who she was. We all know her fate… and we don’t need to go there.
The film’s title, a tribute to Diana’s maiden name, is also revealing. “She’s a woman who, in the journey of the movie, decides and realises that she wants to be the woman she was before she met Charles,” explains Larraín. “It’s about finding herself, about understanding that possibly the most important thing for her is to be well, and to be with herself and by herself.
