Kidman, who won the Oscar in 2003 for her role as Virginia Woolf in Stephen Daldry’s “The Hours”, is preparing to play an actress-turned-princess extremely popular, who dominated the film industry in the ’50s.
Olivier Dahan, who guided Marion Cotillard to an Oscar for the Edith Piaf biopic “La Vie en rose”, has made his choice regarding the male role. Tim Roth has joined the venerated cast as the husband, Prince of Monaco.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Monaco will center on “a six-month period in 1962 when the city-state got into a heated dispute with France, which grew tired of the petite principality being a tax haven.”
At the time, Kelly was new to her princess role and struggled to save Monaco from a coup.
“Grace of Monaco” will be shot in September in the South of France, with a budget of 25 million euros and released at the end of 2013.
