Princess Diana fans, bow down: Your "Diana" feature film movie trailer is ready for viewing. It's lush and all-too-brief, but it does set the stage for telling the tale of the late princess, who died in 1997 in a car accident while fleeing paparazzi.
The real question the trailer poses, however, is whether Naomi Watts can carry off the unique, enigmatic portrayal of the "people's princess."
The minute-long trailer does her no favors: She's not even seen head-on until halfway through. Until then, Diana is seen from nearly every other angle -- back, above, partially shot while sliding into a car. Her hair is appropriately period-fluffy, her dresses regal and tailored. She's on the red carpet, she's thronged by crowds and photographers, she's wearing a helmet with a Red Cross symbol on it, she's running.
Then that familiar head turns -- and it's Naomi Watts, not Diana. Watts is a solid actress with two Oscar nominations, but there's not much physical resemblance other than hair and eye color. But does that matter?
Audiences will be able to decide for themselves in September about the film, which focuses on the last two years of Diana's life -- her post-Buckingham palace, European jet-setter, privacy-seeking final years.
Meanwhile, let us know what you think in the survey below!
