Kristen Stewart Says A Full Sentence In The Full Trailer For “Spencer”
They teased us Kristen Stewart as Princess Diana skeptics last month with the teaser trailer for Spencer in which Kristen finally showed us the accent she’s been working on in between her (failed) posture and etiquette classes in preparation for the role. Even though she only said “they don’t” at the end, it was enough to convince some folks that she had nailed it. Now we have the first full-length trailer, and in addition to saying “they don’t,” Kristen also asks “this country?” And in the trailer’s climax, she speaks an entire sentence (which I won’t spoil). Unfortunately, I’m going to have to remain a skeptic for now because, in this trailer, Kristen is completely overshadowed by the incredible, charismatic performances of the dogs playing THE QUEEN’s Corgis. Kristen may have beautiful gowns, but those little bitches are giving the performance of a lifetime with their little fluffy butts totally exposed!
As we know, Spencer takes place over just three days at Christmastime 1991 at THE QUEEN’s Sandringham Estate when Diana was deciding whether or not to end her marriage to Prince Charles (played by Poldark’s Jack Farthing). The movie is directed by Pablo Larraín who has experience with trolling actors by giving them impossible accents, runny mascara, and a single busted wig, only to have them lose the Oscar to Emma Stone (see: Natalie Portman in Jackie). Here’s the trailer:
OK, I think I have this figured out. KStew has her lines written on her shoes. That has to be it! Why else is she always getting caught looking down then trying to play it off like she’s shy or something. Nobody is that shy! At any rate, here’s what IndieWire had to say about those Famous Last Words.
We only got two words out of Princess Diana in the first trailer for “Spencer,” but in our latest full look at the film, Kristen Stewart as Diana closes the clip by dropping a bombshell: “Will they kill me, do you think?”
We’re guessing that’s a sly joke. But after “Spencer” premiered at Venice, Telluride and TIFF, audiences were quick to discover that director Pablo Larraín’s Princess Diana film was hardly an episode of “The Crown.” Rather, it’s a colorful but far sadder examination of the royals with Stewart’s struggling Diana at the center.
Early reviews of the film have heralded Stewart’s performance and its melodramatic flourishes that almost certainly break from history, or at least from the Diana the public knew.
If that’s a joke, it sucks. And I’m surprised Diana didn’t tell Kristen as much herself when she haunted her. Diana was probably just scared, and rightfully so, to go out hunting with quivery old trigger-fingers Prince Philip. He’d already been mostly dead by 1991!
