Nearly one year after its opening night slot in Cannes, it emerged that the biopic starring Nicole Kidman will not get a US theatrical release.

Critics mostly dubbed Grace Of Monaco a flop when it premiered on the Croisette and the tale will now get its first public showing on Lifetime on May 25.

The Weinsteins originally held US rights and there followed a long-running spat with director Olivier Dahan over cuts. Arash Amel wrote the screenplay.

The film was set for release in November 2013 and was subsequently pushed back to spring 2014.

Tim Roth, Parker Posey, Paz Vega and Frank Langella also star.
