Grace of Monaco's Movie


Grace Kelly lived the life that millions would kill for, she was an A-List movie star, a Princess and an Icon. To say that a movie about her has been highly anticipated would be an understatement.  An as of yet unnamed movie about the legend that was Grace Kelly has now been said to of secured funding, by way of £9.3m.  

Following the recent release of My Week With Marilyn and last years highly successful The Kings Speech, it has now come to light that the script has been penned by unknown Aresh Amel and produces Pierre-Ange Le Pogam is on the lookout for a director and a leading lady.

The film is said to focus on a 6 month period in 1962 when the French President Charles De Gaulle and Prince Rainier III were in disagreement over the tax haven in Monaco - an incident of which the Princess was detrimental in solving.

With actresses such as Charlize Theron and Diane Kruger in the frame for the lead role, I know I'm not the only one over excited about this project.
