Kristen Stewart has been tapped to play Princess Diana in "Spencer", which is expected to start shooting early next year.
The movie follows the former Lady Diana Spencer over three key days: The early '90s Christmas weekend at the royal family's Sandringham estate, when she determined her marriage wasn't working.
The film will not touch on Diana's death.
The director, Pablo Lorrain, talked about the choice of Kristen Stewart for the title role, and described her as someone who can be "very mysterious and very fragile and ultimately very strong as well, which is what we need. ... I think she's going to do something stunning and intriguing at the same time."
