NAOMI WATTS TO PLAY PRINCESS DIANA

It has been confirmed that a film is being made about Princess Diana’s life and Naomi Watt will play the people’s princess. It’s called Caught in Flight, which is presumably a reference to the tragic way she died being chased by paparazzi and is based on a screenplay. The film will centre on her search for happiness, so will probably include details of her romance with Dodi Fayed – the son of former Harrods owner Mohamed Al Fayed – who died alongside her in the Paris underpass. Her humanitarian work and campaigning will also feature. Naomi 43 said “it is 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.”
