Princess Diana Is Not Amused
Of the afterlife, Queen Elizabeth once said, “I suppose Heaven will be something of a comedown for Me.” Princess Diana, already in the netherworld, must be hiding behind a few angels right now as she peers down and sees the reviews for Oliver Hirschbiegel‘s “Diana,” which opened in Britain a few days ago and which eOne is releasing stateside sometime this fall. It has a 3% positive Rotten Tomatoes rating. It’s a train wreck. And a major career pothole for Naomi Watts (who plays Diana Princess of Wales). But Naomi has princessy company in misery right now. Her best friend, Nicole Kidman, has a Princess Grace movie that just got moved from December to next year: apparently, it’s not very good, either — or at least not good enough to enter the awards fray.
