Naomi Watts To Play Princess Diana In Upcoming Biopic

Naomi Watts has signed on to play the late Princess Diana in "Caught In Flight," an upcoming biopic about the beloved royal.

"It is such an honor 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," Naomi told Variety.

The film -- directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel -- will focus on the final two years of Diana's life and chronicles "how finding true personal happiness for the first time allowed her to evolve into a major international campaigner and humanitarian," according to the trade mag.

Production on the film is set to begin later this year in Britain.

In addition to taking on the role of Princess Di, Naomi is also preparing to play yet another blond icon - Marilyn Monroe.

The 43-year-old actress has reportedly been cast as the legendary bombshell in "Blonde," directed by Andrew Dominik and penned by Joyce Carol Oates.

Uhm, alright. I guess I can roll with that. I'd have chosen Nicole Kidman or Michelle Pfeiffer. Michelle definitely for Marilyn as well, as I read. But I suppose she'll do well.

Ekk not Nicole. I love her but I'm tired of seeing the same tired ole faces :lol:. Michelle would be great! I miss her. What's she doing lately?

My Mom got me hooked on the tv show back when I was in the military..when I would come home to visit, she and I would watch it and she would fill me in on who was who..It came on the syfy channel. With a name like Barnabus Collins, how could you not like it.. :wub:

True. :lol: But this is Diana so I would want a well-versed actress to play her. Not that I don't think Naomi could pull her off. I'm intrigued by the choice. I will be seeing it. :) Right?! I haven't heard much from her except one movie last year and earlier one in 09. But this year she has two coming out, so they should be something to look forward to.

Good point. Nicole is like a first round pick. But Naomi has really made a name for herself. I look forward to seeing her.

Yes! That movie was flawless! Her acting was stellar :wub:
