Nicole as Grace

The first pic released from Nicole's new film - 'Grace of Monaco' 

Many critics have denounced the choice of Nicole for the role of Grace Kelly, declaring she doesn’t bear a resemblance to Grace but in this shot Nicole is clearly channelling some Princess of Monaco vibes.  I think she looks lovely but I am surprised at the choice of gown as Grace was strictly and pastels and white gloves kind a gal.

The film is not a biopic of the actress turned Princess of Monaco but will focus on her involvement behind the scenes in a tête-à-tête between her husband Prince Rainier III and President of France Charles de Gaulle over Monaco’s tax haven status during the early 1960s.  sounds interesting and it will be definitely worth seeing what Nicole does with the role.

Who Will Be Grace?

Nicole Kidman is in talks to play Grace Kelly in the upcoming Grace of Monaco movie to be directed by Olivier Dahan. At first I was rather bemused by the choice but I also could not have imagined the reed thin Michelle Williams playing the voluptuous Marilyn Monroe so you never know.  She definitely can do the ice queen to perfection so I say let's give her a go.

Who would be your choice to play the late princess?  I thought January Jones could work, or maybe even Gwyneth Paltrow?

One of the most beautiful women in Hollywood, I think, is Dianna Agron - she would make a beautiful young Grace.

Whoever they chose I'm sure it will make for a fascinating film as Grace Kelly's story is absolutely made for the big screen - beauty, romance, royalty, tragedy - it doesn't get much better than that.  I am just surprised it has taken this long.
