Tim Roth to play Prince Rainier in 'Grace of Monaco'

Thesp will star opposite Nicole Kidman as Grace Kelly

By: JEFF SNEIDER

"Arbitrage" star Tim Roth is set to play Monaco's Prince Rainier III opposite Nicole Kidman's Grace Kelly in Olivier Dahan's "Grace of Monaco."

Pierre-Ange Le Pogam is producing with financier Uday Chopra of YRF Entertainment and scribe Arash Amel.

Story finds Kelly as a former Oscar winner and mother of two who had already spent six years as the monarch of a European nation. The retired starlet was called upon to save Monaco from an escalating situation regarding its standing as a tax haven, with French leader Charles de Gaulle giving her husband, Monaco's Prince Rainier III, six months to reform its tax laws.

Roth will play the ambitious and strong-headed Prince Rainier III, who was forced to run the country at a young age and broke from tradition to marry Kelly. While he initially lets his emotions get in the way of his work and marriage, he eventually lets Kelly guide him in decision-making.

You are so right! It might never have occurred to me, but he'll be great as Rainier! (Although he maybe reminds me more of Albert when I think about it.)
