Uporedo sa ulaskom filma u bioskopsku distribuciju u SAD, premijera brodvejskog mjuzikla Dajana zakazana je za 17. novembar In parallel with the film's U.S. release, the Broadway musical Diana is also scheduled to premiere on 17 th November tress Emma Corrin received a Golden Globe for the role, as well as bringing the story of Diana back into the lime- light to such an extent that the fourth season of The Crown broke viewing records on the streaming service. Several months prior to the re- lease of the series, news broke that Pablo Larrain, the Chilean filmmaker known for the films No (about Augus- to Pinochet) and Jackie (about for- mer U.S. first lady Jackie Kennedy), was directing a film about Princess Diana and had given the lead role to Kristen Stewart, whose most notable role to date has been in the teen vam- pire series Twilight. The film Spen- cer depicts several days in the life of Lady Di during the 1990 Christmas holidays at the Queen's Sandringham House residence, when she decided to end her marriage to Prince Charles. Although their parting was inevita- ble, it was almost five years later that they finally divorced. Larrain approached the topic from Diana's perspective, focusing more on her personal considerations and emotional dilemmas, rather than on the accumulating of information
and the classic biographical adapta- tion approach. The film primarily re- volves around the stories of mem- bers of the royal family about the unhappy couple, as well as the di- ary in which she made regular en- tries. The film’s premiere at this year's Venice Film Festival culminated in a standing ovation. Stewart, who was anything but an obvious choice for the role – given the negative impact that Twilight has had on her career – succeeded, with the role of Diana, in finally transforming herself from a teenage actress striving to be taken more seriously into a leading nomi- nee for an Oscar at next year’s Acad- emy Awards. “It’s one of the saddest stories to exist ever, and I didn’t want to just play Diana — I wanted to know her implicitly,” said Stewart, speak-
ing in one of her first interviews at the Venice Film Festival. It is inter- esting that Stewart and the afore- mentioned Emma Corrin, the Brit- ish actress who played Diana in the previous season of the series The Crown, used the same dialect and voice coach to ensure the most au- thentic possible portrayal of the princess, who had a very recognis- able and distinctive voice. Director Larrain said that he didn’t attempt to reveal anything that we didn't al- ready know with this film, but rather to create a new, more intimate and introspective version of an old story.
