“Grace of Monaco” will hold its world premiere at the opening of the
Cannes Film Festival in May, after its original March release date was
delayed without explanation.
Festival
organizers said Friday that the film about Grace Kelly, directed by
Olivier Dahan, will open the May 14-25 event this year. The film stars
Nicole Kidman as Grace, who went from Oscar-winning actress to princess
of the Mediterranean principality not far from Cannes.
The
Weinstein Co. said Thursday that the movie won’t open March 14 as
planned and is off the release calendar. The trade paper The Hollywood
Reporter has reported that Dahan has been at odds with Weinstein over
the film.
The late Princess Grace’s family earlier criticized the script as overly glamorized and inaccurate.
