Actress KEIRA KNIGHTLEY is being lined up to play DIANA, PRINCESS OF WALES in a movie based on the late British royal’s life.

A controversial book, Diana and the Paparazzi, is at the centre of a bidding war at this year’s Cannes Film Festival in France.

Film producer Quentin Reynolds, who is bidding for the rights, hopes the movie adaptation will be as popular at the box office as The Queen, which won Dame Helen Mirren a Best Actress Oscar.

He says, “Already the word in Hollywood is ‘get Knightley.’ It’s a story that has everything: pathos, tragedy, comedy, adventure…and Princess Diana.

“For every pound The Queen makes, a film about Diana will make ten.”

New Evidence in Princess Diana Case

Princess Diana was talking on her mobile phone moments before her fatal car crash in Paris, France, according to a new eyewitness found by British police.

Officials from Scotland Yard are trying to trace the phone call.

The tragedy killed Diana, her lover, Dodi Al Fayed, and driver Henri Paul.

Nearly eight years later, there is still speculation Diana was murdered, due to conspiracy theories that claim she would have embarrassed the Royal Family by marrying a Muslim.

There are also allegations from Dodi’s father, which say the princess was pregnant.

However, a French inquiry reports the accident was the result of Paul’s drunken state when he got behind the wheel.

A virtual reality simulation of the crash is also being used in the investigation, as released by the Daily Mail.
