Pablo Larrain told Deadline about the film:
“We all grew up on fairy tales with a clear understanding of what it is - a real fairy tale. Usually the prince proposes to the princess a marriage proposal, after which she becomes queen. Typical plot of a typical fairy tale. And if she suddenly chooses not to be a queen and declares that it is better to reject the palace life and be herself, the fairy tale suddenly collapses. I was always surprised and thought that it was extremely difficult to decide on this madness. This is exactly the idea of our film. "
“How and why did we decide to take on this project? Our story is universal, it can be of interest to millions of people around the world, and this is precisely what our goal is to interest. We are creating a picture that will be seen by millions, which will go international. "
“Kristen Stewart is an intriguing choice to portray Diana in a film. She gained worldwide fame at a fairly young age after filming the blockbuster "Twilight. Saga ", when the paparazzi chased her, publishing in the press her every move and statement. She outgrew this character and became one of the most mesmerizing and unpredictable actresses, while Stewart works mostly in independent films, which hooked me. Now she will play one of the most famous women in the world who is experiencing an identity crisis. "
“Stewart is one of the most outstanding and talented actresses of our time. There must be some mystery in the picture, and Kristen will do a great job with it. She can play a very mysterious and fragile girl, but she can also be very strong and daring. The combination of these qualities attracted me to her. Her reaction to the script and her approach to working on the character inspires me. She clearly has a natural talent. "
“I watched Kristen's work. All of them are so diverse that it's incredible. Each of the paintings shows different sides of her personality and strength as an actress. We are very happy to work with her, she is completely devoted to the filming process. "
“Diana strives to find herself in order to realize that there is nothing more important than health and the ability to be herself. It is for this reason that we chose the name "Spencer" - this is the name that Diana bore before meeting Charles. "
“It's a very dynamic and beautiful screenplay written by Stephen Knight. I have admired his projects for a long time. This is a romantic story about a woman who goes through hard times, but eventually finds a solution. "
“She died a few years after the story we told. This is just three days from her life. And, nevertheless, even in such a short period of time you will be able to understand who she really was. "
“The point is that Diana understands what she really needs and who she wants to be in reality. And this does not mean that she should be next to someone, be part of something. Diana was versatile, but above all she is a wonderful mother. This is the story of a woman who realizes that the most important thing is her own children. "
“We are confident that our picture can interest the entire planet. We have everything to make a beautiful film, and we will try very hard to make it that way ”.
