Royal insiders and fans are not pleased with the casting choice for the upcoming Princess Diana biopic.
Kristen is a talented actor, but some are worried this is the wrong person for the role. That said, the director was confident in the choice. He told "Kristen is one of the great actors around today," he said."To do this well, you need something very important in film, which is mystery. Kristen can be many things, and she can be very mysterious and very fragile an ultimately very strong as well, which is what we need. The combination of those elements made me think of her.
Royal reporter Neil Sean told Fox:"The casting of one of the world's most famous women in Stewart just shows how out of tune the makers are with what the public's image and above all love for such a great lady is." and Kristen have a few similarities, and Kristen has done biopics before. Hopefully she will understand the gravity of the role, and how much Diana means for so many people -- but again, not everyone is confident. Diana and Charles: Royal Affairs and Notorious Royal Marriages, fans want an English actor to play the part. However,"if she can embody Diana's body language and convey her famous breathy, posh Sloane Ranger voice, it won't matter where she was born," Leslie added.
And speaking of accents, Diana fans are going to be paying super close attention to Kristen's British accent -- no pressure there!
