People were pretty skeptical after Kristen Stewart was cast as Princess Diana in Pablo Larraín’s Spencer, but it was just a matter of time before they changed their tune. The first poster and trailer for this royal drama are here, and they got us super-excited for its premiere this fall.
“Spencer” Poster
The first poster for Spencer is a sight to behold, and it seemingly shows Princess Diana weeping into a lavish ball gown. Her back is turned to the camera and the poster doesn’t reveal her face, but it still manages to perfectly capture the inner turmoil she’s dealing with.
The dress featured in the poster is not a carbon copy of any of the dresses that Princess Diana wore in reality, but it draws clear inspiration from several real gowns—most notably, the “Diaghilev” dress from the 1987 premiere of The Living Daylights.
“Spencer” Trailer
Just like the poster, the trailer for Spencer is a true visual feast, but it only offers snippets of seemingly perfect royal life instead of revealing major plot points. The film will take place during the Christmas holidays at the Sandringham estate in Norfolk when Princess Diana decided it’s time to end her marriage to Prince Charles. It’s set to premiere at the Venice International Film Festival before opening in theaters on November 5th.
