Naomi Watts As Princess Diana in Caught in Flight Biopic - First Look
She's a dead ringer for the former Princess of Wales in Oliver Hirschbiegel's now filming biopic.
The film 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.Oscar nominee Watts replaced the originally cast Jessica Chastain when the Tree of Life actress pulled out over the pressures of playing such an iconic, late figure, whose later life was so public and controversial. Written by The Libertine scribe Steven Jeffreys, Caught in Flight is German filmmaker Oliver Hirschbiegel's latest film. He is of course no stranger to controversial biopics having made the definitive portrayal of Adolf Hitler on screen with Downfall. Jeffreys script reportedly portrays the former Princess Royal as a damaged person who stalks the doctor after he ends the affair and she is not cast in a particularly favorable light. There's been very little official word on the film and quite frankly we weren't even aware that it had even begun filming. Hopefully there will be some light shed soon on which actors are portraying other roles in the film and what the proposed release date is.
