The Naomi Watt’s starrer DIANA opened in the UK last week, and didn’t exactly set the box-office on fire or indeed wow the critics. While I didn’t particularly enjoy the film, it is nowhere near the disaster that some may have you believe. The film isn’t out in the US for another couple of months (in fact, it opens over there on 1st November), but that hasn’t stopped the publicity machine, who today have released a brand new poster over at IMP Awards, which I actually kind of like from a photography point of view, and a trailer at Yahoo! Movies.
Official synopsis: DIANA takes audiences into the private realm of one of the world’s most iconic and inescapably public women — the Princess of Wales, Diana – in the last two years of her meteoric life, and explores Diana’s final rite of passage: a secret love affair with Pakistani heart surgeon Hasnat Khan. The film is a window into the tumultuous, change-filled period from 1995-1997 in the wake of Diana’s shattering divorce from Prince Charles and at the moment when she stood on the cusp of a different life, evolving into a global humanitarian, mastering her fame and becoming her own woman.
Check out the trailer and new poster below.
