 Naomi Watts has admitted that 'Diana', the biopic in which she played the late Princess Diana, was 'a sinking ship'. The film was hammered by critics on its release last year, and Watts has said that the risk she took taking on the role failed to pay off. “I got seduced by the fantastic character,” the actress told Harper's Bazaar magazine. “Diana did a lot of things that had positive and negative results. She was multifaceted. “But ultimately there were problems with (the film) and it ended up taking a direction that was not the one I was hoping for. “With risk there is every chance it's going to fail. If you have to go down with that sinking ship so be it.”
The film, which was directed by 'Downfall' helmsman Oliver Hirschbiegel, was at one time being tipped for potential Oscar glory. But critics took it to pieces, the Daily Mirror calling it a 'cheap and cheerless effort that looks like a Channel 5 mid-week matinee', while The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw controversially called it 'car crash cinema'. It followed the relationship between the late Diana, Princess of Wales, and surgeon Dr Hasnat Khan, played by 'Lost's Naveen Andrews, and later her doomed relationship with Dodi Fayed, played by Cas Anvar. The movie also failed at the box office, taking around ￡13 million worldwide. Via: Yahoo |
