Charlize Theron and Keira Knightley will be playing Princess Diana in opposing movies! The movies Charlize Theron and Keira Knightley will be in are about completely different aspects of Princess Diana’s life.
Charlize Theron will be teaming up producer Stephen Evans. Theron and Evans’ movie will center on Princess Diana’s friendship with former bodyguard Ken Wharfe. It will be based on Wharfe’s book: “Diana: Closely Guarded Secret."
Speaking about Charlize Theron and his upcoming movie, Stephen Evans said, “We are intending to make the authentic movie of Diana by using the voices of the people who were there - and Ken Wharfe was right there at her side at the most significant part of her life."
Keira Knightley’s Princess Diana movie will be a biopic of Princess Diana’s life and will also star Dame Helen Mirren. Dame Helen Mirren won an oscar in 2007 for her role as Queen Elizabeth in the movie Queen Elizabeth II. This time around, Mirren will not be playing Queen Elizabeth (though that would have been interesting). She will instead take on the role of Princess Diana’s mother, Frances Shand Kydd.
It will be interesting to see Charlize Theron and Keira Knightley portraying Princess Diana. It won’t really be a competition to see whether Theron or Knightley make a better Diana. The main test will be of their acting abilities in general.
Who do you think will be the better Princess Diana? Charlize Theron Keira Knightley?

I agree with you Evalynn. Some of my favorite Charlize roles: as Aeon Flux in Aeon Flux; as Candy in Waking Up in Reno; and as Tina in That Thing You Do, where her character displayed poor judgment in marrying her dentist.
Just ignore yeah's low class remark, mental midgets like him/her are bullies in the adult world; pesky flies soon disperse.
