Follow: Caught In Flight, Naomi Watts, Princess Diana

So Caught In Flight - the Princess Diana movie that Naomi Watts is starring in - has just filmed one of its final scenes. By "final" we don't mean the crash or anything but rather the beginning of that journey with Diana leaving the Paris Ritz in a Mercedes.

We're not sure what we think of Naomi as Diana without seeing the movie - they don't look massively alike so it will be interesting to see if Naomi gets Diana's mannerisms and demeanour down - but this set of photos did make us pause.

It was also a bit of a jolt to realise that we weren't sure of the scrum of people around Naomi were the film crew or a cast of paparazzi harassing "Diana" and that we are using a photographer's picture of a woman pretending to be another woman whose death raised questions about celebrity photography.

Yeah, the irony isn't lost on us :/

Fgs why can't they leave this alone. Whenever someone famous dies we are inundated with docus. stories, and films. Still it will make all involved plenty of money which is all they're interested in.

Or, it could keep alive the memory of a lovely beautiful selfless woman who will be missed by all that were blessed with her life and spirit, she was a one off, Will and Harry are and should be so proud, she will live on for years to come

I do hope that this film is a complete flop It's an insult to the memory of someone who was loved by the country and obviously someone is hoping to make alot of money from it.
