Naomi Watts as Princess Diana: First Look at Biopic Caught in Flight
Having replaced one-time star Jessica Chastain in the Princess Diana biopic Caught in Flight, Naomi Watts was photographed on the set of the now-filming project, and the resemblance is... uncanny. Maybe it's just the layered period blonde perm or the boxy sensible suit 'n' tights, but Watts looks to have slid quite fittingly into the skin of the late Princess of Wales, who embarks on a torrid love affair with Pakistani-born heart surgeon Dr. Hasnat Khan (played by LOST's Naveen Andrews) in the '90s-set drama.
The film (directed by Downfall's Oliver Hirshbiegel) depicts Princess Di and Khan's secret two-year relationship, which ended just months before her tragic death in 1997. According to previous reports, Diana "is shown as a damaged person who stalks the doctor after he ends the affair." Fun. Can't wait!

Yo Jen! Unrelated, but what's up with ST? Is he out of town or something? I feel like he hasn't written an article in a lot of days. Is he just managing more now?
ST, I miss your wit and wisdom. No disrespect, Jen. Love your wit and wisdom too.

Search Amazon for "Princess Diana The Day She Didn't Die."
A novel that is getting some great reviews and no doubt the next big film after this one
Um, for an "uncanny" resemblance, try Tina Brown!

You lost me, buddy. I mean, I imagine I get what youre declaring. I understand what you are saying, but you just seem to have forgotten that you can find some other persons in the world who look at this issue for what it really is and may possibly not agree with you. You may be turning away a lot of persons who may have been supporters of your blog.
