I mean I watched a made-for-tv movie once where Diana was in it as a GHOST. It was hilarious. I am looking forward to when Diana is introduced as a character in The Crown (netflix series) though (which will be in series 3- next year). The writer of that show created The Queen movie so I'm pretty sure it'll be done right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to tell with Ryan Murphy because on one hand he has done promised so much and delivered mess after mess BUT then again he also has American Crime Story- OJ Simpson which is amazingly written, directed and acted. Another thing, and it's rare that this is a need: The actress HAS to look like Diana. I was only watching a documentary about Diana today and she was SO unique in her looks and posture and general being that it's so hard to embody that without it looking like an impersonation. All eyes gravitate towards her, whether you liked her or not, there was that magnetic captivation. I mean if you want a lesson in how NOT to be Diana, watch the film starring Naomi Watts. THIIIISSSS! He cannot camp up and over dramatise this whatsoever it has to be tastefully done. A smart way of doing it would be to not have the royals or Charles and Di in it; he should use how the press reacted to their feud as the basis of the storyline. Also totally agree with the Diana actress thing, she not only has to look like her but oh my god she has to be a great actress. Diana was so complex and if they're going to show her private life/private character she has to be a great actress Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diana was so complex and if they're going to show her private life/private character she has to be a great actress I think people honestly believe the whole thing played out like a soap opera, with the Queen and other members of the Royal family being like "biitch!" and stuff, like desperate housewives or something, it was honestly not like that. Of course I wasn't actually there lol but we have such a weird perspective on stuff when it comes to Royalty. Even Prince William said the only time he really sees his grandmother (the frickin queen lol) is at royal events when WE see her on TV with broadcasts etc. There's two actresses who could play her I think, but I'm still not sure- both have been in the TV series The Tudors funnily enough, the first is Annabelle Wallis, the second Joely Richardson...the only thing is Joely is a little too old now...I mean she's in her 50s and Diana died in her late 30s so probably a no. But everytime I watch 101 dalmatians (live action obvs) I always think she would've made a great Diana in a film Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole thing was so boring. I mean Diana did not lead a boring life lol so how can a 2 hour film be so frickin crap lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Laurent 4,862 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 A research team isn't really enough for something like this, you need someone on board who understand the royal family and has, in some capacity, been close to them. It's likely that this will be terrible. Frankly I'm a little offended if it's going to be anything like the trailers for season 1. This wasn't a feud, it was a sour marriage between the future King of England and his wife, not something to make a campy TV series about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
