The distributor Neon brought out to the world

Spencer

, the new film by Chilean filmmaker

Pablo Larraín

.

The story will focus on a particular moment in the life of Lady Di and will feature Kristen Stewart as the protagonist.

The trailer and official poster of the film show that the project will have the unmistakable pulse of the director of

No

,

The Club

and Jackie and that the former

Twilight

girl

is undoubtedly similar to the Princess of Wales who died on August 31, 1997 because of a car crash.

Stewart continues to polish Hollywood's most diverse career with the aim of being present at the next Oscars and, why not, taking home a statuette.

The "Spencer" poster.

After the first image of the American woman as Diana was released, it occurred to us to take

a brief tour of some actresses who played Spencer and were quite similar to her

, either because of their physical features or a great job of characterization.

Let's see.

Kristen Stewart

Movie:

Spencer

Stewart became known worldwide for having played the protagonist of Twilight.

Spencer's 

early clippings 

don't leave much to add.

Stewart trained very hard with a coach to get the particular voice of the princess and read at least three biographies of the character.

“His is one of the saddest stories there has ever been and I don't want to limit myself to playing Diana;

I want to get to know her implicitly.

By the way, it's been a long time since I've been this excited about a role, ”she told InStyle before shooting the film.

Spencer hits theaters in the United States on November 5 and will be shown for the first time to audiences at the prestigious Venice Film Festival that begins next week.

The famous British actress - raised in Australia - did what she could in a failed film about Spencer's affair with surgeon

Hasnat Khan

.

Despite the fact that the film as an artistic piece was neither backwards nor forwards and meant a resounding commercial failure, Watts defended herself by capturing the gestures of the Princess of Wales very well and allowing herself to be seen just like her.

In post-premiere statements, Naomi admitted to being carried away by the “fascinating” character and put her chest to the bullets: “Every time you take a risk you know you can fall.

And if you have to go down with the team, then go ahead ”.

Genevieve O'Reilly

Movie:

Diana: The Last Days of the Princess

O'Reilly studied his character thoroughly.

The Last Days of the Princess

is a film made for television.

There is no doubt that Genevieve was chosen because of her tremendous physical resemblance to Spencer.

According to the Seattle Times, O'Reilly said filming in Paris, the city where the princess died, was "pretty bleak."

Richard Dale

, project manager, acknowledged that Genevieve did extensive research to find Spencer's gestures, voice, and movements.

In fact, he said that at one point he believed he had been in front of archive material when he was reviewing a scene from his film.

4- Nicola Formby

Movie:

The Woman of Windsor

Formby played Spencer in 1992.

Formby looks a lot like the princess and that's what matters.

Whether it transcended or not is another discussion.

The actress played Spencer in '92, five years before Diana passed away.

Like The Last Days of the Princess, The Woman of Windsor was a telefilm.

At the time, Variety magazine defined Formby's work as "flat."

5- Amy Seccombe

It was Diana in '98 in a film based on the romantic relationship between Spencer and

Dodi Fayed A's

.

There is no doubt that Seccombe was chosen, among other faculties, for the physique du role.

6- Emma Corrin

Series:

The Crown

Corrin comes from winning the last

Golden Globe

for Best Actress in a drama series for having played Lady Di in the fourth season of

The Crown

.

He recently stated in W magazine that he was unaware of certain aspects of Spencer's life before playing her and that by doing so he wanted to highlight all the layers of the princess's personality.

“We knew that she was a very warm person who gravitated towards people.

She was looking to be embraced in something very warm and very familiar, and she did not find that at all;

he found the exact opposite with the royal family, ”said the artist, who got the role by going to a casting.

The towering artist is going through the prime of a career that will be further boosted when she stars in the hit Netflix series "real".

The choice of Debicki to replace Corrin was highly celebrated by fans of the series.

It can be said that he knows ballet, he knows the British accent to perfection and he demonstrated with his characters from

The Great Gatsby 

and

Agent CIPOL

that vintage dresses suit him perfectly.
