"King Kong" actress Naomi Watts is getting ready to turn into a princess for her next role.
It was announced Thursday the British-Australian actress will be taking on the role of Princess Diana in the biopic “Caught in Flight.”
In a press release, Watts says, “it is such an honour 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.”
The film will be directed by “Downfall"'s Oliver Hirschbiegel and will take a look at Diana’s life in the two years before her death. The film “charts how finding true personal happiness for the first time allowed her to achieve her defining successes evolving into a major international campaigner and humanitarian.”
