It was announced a couple of months ago that the Grace Kelly biopic, Grace of Monaco was in the works.
However, the movie my be dropped altogether by the film’s producer Harvey Weinstein.
Weinstein is reportedly considering ditching Grace of Monaco’s US distribution rights due to an argument with director Olivier Dahan over the final cut.
According to Variety , Weinstein and Dahan are still at odds over the film’s future, which is scheduled to open the Cannes Film Festival on May 14.
Dahan has refused to make changes to the film – starring Nicole Kidman– which Weinstein has said could allow the project to be considered for the top awards.
It is reported that Weinstein wanted to add new scenes about Kelly’s Hollywood years and more background to the issues between Monaco and French president Charles de Gaulle.
Grace of Monaco missed out on the deadline for this year’s Oscars, after it was pushed back from a November 2013 release to March.
Other distributors may purchase the rights to release the film, if both sides can’t come to an agreement.
