London: British-Australian
actress Naomi Watts has been selected to play Princess Diana in a movie
about the late royal’s final two years, filmmakers have announced.
The Oscar-nominated star will portray
the late princess in the forthcoming biopic Caught In Flight, which
focuses on the last two years of Diana’s life, British company Ecosse
Films said.
“Princess Diana was loved across the
world and I look forward to rising to the challenge of playing her on
screen,” said the 44-year-old, for her role as a recovering drug addict
in “21 Grams”.
The movie about the Princess of Wales,
who was just 36 when she died, will be directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel,
best known for his epic 2004 film “Downfall” about the final days of
Hitler.
The film-makers did not confirm whether
the biopic will feature Diana’s relationship with Dodi Fayed, the son of
Egyptian tycoon Mohamed Al-Fayed who was the princess’s boyfriend and
died with her in the crash.
