Amusing cartoon about the film..

To be completely honest, I can't wait to see this film blow completely. Call me a Doris Downer or whatever you like, but I still think it's way too soon to make a film about someone as well-loved and iconic as Diana was and still is. Doesn't help much that the film looks (and always have looked) like a cheap Lifetime movie. I also think that Naomi Watts is a horrific actress but that's just me.
It is no surprise to me that this film is going to flop. I really don't think there's that much general interest in Diana and her love affairs anymore let alone how badly the script was written or how bad the actress was. Then again, making a movie these days about Betty Ford's battle with alcoholism would probably garner the same response. The interest in both persons has met its sell by date. (I do know there was a movie made about Betty in 1987)
I think that this movie was made too soon, at least 30 years should have gone from Diana's death.
At the premiere in Paris

You seem to forget the numerous and cheap TV movies about Diana. A movie about the late princess is ok, at least it must be a good one. And here it's not the case. ...
I remember - didn't Catherine Oxenberg play Diana??
Yes, it is a quite old movie, about the first years of their wedding.
What an absolutely superb illustration of the calibre of the movie people were set to watch.Naomi Watts chose an awful dress to the premiere in London, her outfit describes the whole lousy movie.

Hells bells! She looks like mutton dressed as lamb!
As previously noted, there has been more than one telemovie about Diana. This one is just big screen, bad dialogue and a disastrous train wreck. It appears that no amount of time would have saved this Turkey! Shakespeare it is not!!I think that this movie was made too soon, at least 30 years should have gone from Diana's death.
This film looks bad, but I don't think it's too soon - she passed away over 15 years ago!

You never know.
I imagine the producers took one look at the box office and awards for recent films about the BRF like The Queen and The King's Speech, and thought YES! Diana would be box office gold, and a few of those little gold statues wouldn't hurt either!
(It's like the Holocaust in a way; films about that are considered Oscar bait. Hope that doesn't offend anyone, but it's the truth).
I don't think someone like Diana is going to be "not big" in the future - if anything, the legend gets stronger. I wouldn't mind a very well made, well acted film about her. I am older and I still remember staying up to watch her funeral and her sons broke my heart. A well made film might be a nice way of preserving her memory, perhaps one based on her charitable works and not something lurid.
Then let me rephrase it: too many people still have a very vivid memory - she's too present still. But yeah, a well-made film, not some tacky try-hard film made for the sake of winning awards and making money.
Oh definitely, I agree. Just for fun, who would you like to see in the lead? I have been thinking and cannot come up with anyone.
Hmm, that's a difficult one... maybe an unknown but look-alike actress would be best?
for some reason the only 'known' people i can imagine for the part are P.Charlene of Monaco (not gonna happen ) or Joanne Frogatt
I remember when Michelle Williams was cast as Marilyn Monroe - people had a fit, said she looked nothing like her, didn't act like MM, etc. Well, her performance blew everyone away. She was excellent, and nominated for an Oscar. Sometimes a person you would never think of casting would be good. Who knows??? Kind of interesting to think about.
