Kristen Stewart showcases a spot-on Princess Diana accent in first footage of 'Spencer'
- Insider saw the first footage of "Spencer" at CinemaCon.
- Kristen Stewart looks to give an Oscar-worthy performance.
- Her English accent is perfect.
Insider has seen the first-ever footage of "Spencer" during the Neon presentation of its upcoming slate at CinemaCon, the annual movie-theater convention, on Wednesday.
The highly-anticipated movie from Pablo Larraín ("Jackie") stars Kristen Stewart as Princess Diana as she struggles with her marriage to Prince Charles.
The footage features Stewart being confronted by Charles over her not being the princess everyone wants her to be. We can see Stewart's Diana clearly frustrated over her role and feeling like a prisoner in her own home.
Along with the gripping scene that could garner Oscar attention for Stewart, and the amazing production design and costuming, there's also Stewart's English accent.
It is flawless.
Like Natalie Portman playing Jackie Kennedy in "Jackie," it's less about her physically looking like the icon and more about her voice and mannerisms.
Don't get me wrong, Stewart has the look with the costuming and wavy blonde hair. But her voice perfectly matches to that of Princess Diana.
Before the presentation, Neon released the latest poster for "Spencer" on Twitter.
"Spencer" opens in theaters on November 5. It is a being co-distributed by Neon and Topic Studios.
