The executive producers will be Michael Bloom, Jeff Deutchman, Ryan Heller, Tom Quinn, Christina Zisa, and Maria Zuckerman.

FilmNation Entertainment took care of the international sales through the main territories. Both CAA Media Finance group and Endeavor Content sold the film to NEON and Topic Studios to distribute the Kristen Stewart film in the United States. For UK, France, Italy, and Benelux, STXinternational will distribute with DCM handling Germany.

Spencer is not the first biopic Kristen Stewart has done in her extensive career. In 2019, she was Jean Seberg in Seberg. It followed French New Wave icon Jean Seberg, who had her life disrupted as the FBI honed in on her political and romantic involvement with activist Hakim Jamal. She was joined by Stephen Root (Barry), Anthony Mackie (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier), Margaret Qualley (Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood), and Vince Vaughn (Freaky).

Acting since the late ’90s and early ’00s, Kristen Stewart made her big splash with the Twilight franchise, which ran from 2008 to 2012 with five installments. Since then, she has recently had a resurgence with Seberg, Charlie’s Angels, and Underwater, giving her plenty of room to expand into different genres from drama, action, and horror. She is currently filming the sci-fi thriller Crimes of the Future with Viggo Mortensen (Green Book), Lea Seydoux (Spectre), and Scott Speedman (You).

Spencer will have its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival next Friday, September 3. For its wider, official theatrical release, audiences will get to see Kristen Stewart as Princess Diana on November 5.
