Keira Knightley to Play Princess Diana
Actress Keira Knightley is being lined up to play Diana, Princess of Wales in a movie based on the late British royal's life.
A controversial book, Diana and the Paparazzi, was at the center of a bidding war at this year's Cannes Film Festival in France. Film producer Quentin Reynolds, who is bidding for the rights, hopes the movie adaptation will be as popular at the box office as The Queen, which won Helen Mirren a Best Actress Oscar. He says, "Already the word in Hollywood is 'get Knightley.' It's a story that has everything: pathos, tragedy, comedy, adventure...and Princess Diana. "For every pound The Queen makes, a film about Diana will make ten." COPYRIGHT 2007 WORLD ENTERTAINMENT NEWS NETWORK LTD. |

  Doubtful this film would ever turn out like The Queen. There's been hundreds of TV-movies made about Diana, and none of them had anything new to say. That's why The Queen was such a hit - it was viewing QEII in a light we'd never seen before. Sorry, Princess Di, but your story's been done before. |

She's a better choice than Lindsay Lohan.

I like that choice. KK is British and actually older now than Diana was when she married Charles. I think she'll do a good job. It'll be interesting to see this movie...to see how they present Diana's character.
