People keep saying that Naomi Watts is a "dead ringer" for Diana and I feel like I've stepped into the Twilight Zone. She is wrong for this part in every way. She doesn't have that classy dignity. The bone structure and particularly the nose are way off. Watts looks like the singing telegram version of a Diana. Chastain would have been a "dead ringer." Her face is so similar. And she has that exquisite innocence that Diana exuded until her death. They made a colossal mistake in re-casting this role. They had the perfect actress. Such a shame.

Search Amazon for "Princess Diana The Day She Didn't Die."

It's a fantastic read and no doubt the next big film after this one

Jessica Chastain is the best actress I've seen in past 20 years. DEFINETLY not over-rated, and I really cannot see what makes her a starlet. She's the most genuine person in Hollywood, and besides that, acting is all she cares for, her dedication is remarkable, and very rare in modern era of actresses… Too shame she didn't take this one though

(1) Wayne Gretzky look-a-like aka Diana is a silly subject to make a film about.
(2) Ms. Watts has always been a decent but over-rated actress so it will be interesting to see if she can pull off simpering and bipolar convincingly.
(3) The best part about this project is who is NOT in it. And that would be the even more over-rated Ms. Chastain. Her 15 minutes are counting down and I cannot wait until they're up.

Who the hell is Jessica Chastain ? Some starlet who hasn't even earned any acting chop that can be compared to Watts'. Chastain in this role is so far only a"rumor", let alone saying Watts is her replacement.

It was such a shame to see Jessica Chastain leave this role. Talk about a dead ringer! Watts, eh – not so much.

I think she'll win the Oscar for this one.
Mirren got it for playing Queen Elizabeth, Streep for playing Thatcher, which shows the Academy just can't get enough of the British ruling class.
By the way she was snubbed for Mulholland Drive, King Kong, The Painted Veil and maybe even Mother and Child, so she's very much "due".
