LONDON – Actor Naomi Watts will play Britain’s Princess Diana in a new feature film about the last two years of her glamorous life that ended in tragedy, Britain’s Ecosse Films has said.

Called Caught in Flight, the movie is thought to be the first big screen film about Diana, whose death in a Paris car crash in 1997 has been chronicled in several, mostly US, television movies.

Ecosse Films said the movie would chronicle the last two years of Diana’s life and “how finding true personal happiness for the first time allowed her to achieve her defining successes evolving into a major international campaigner and humanitarian”. – (Reuters)
