| Naomi Watts to play Princess Diana |
British-born Academy award-nominated actress Naomi Watts (J.
Edgar, Eastern Promises, Fair Game, 21 Grams) will play the role of Princess
Diana in the upcoming movie Caught in Flight.
Directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel (Academy Award-nominated
Downfall), and based on the screenplay by Stephen Jeffreys, production will
begin in the UK later this year.
Caught in Flight is a compelling portrait of Diana, Princess
of Wales during the last two years of her life. It charts how finding true
personal happiness for the first time allowed her to achieve her defining
successes evolving into a major international campaigner and humanitarian.
Speaking earlier, Naomi Watts, who will next be seen
starring in The Impossible opposite Ewan McGregor said: "Tt is such an
honour to be able to play this iconic role – Princess Diana was loved across
the world, and I look forward to rising to the challenge of playing her on
screen."
Director, Oliver Hirschbiegel commented: "I am
delighted to have such a truly exceptional actress who embodies the warmth,
humanity and empathy of such a global icon as Princess Diana."
