Who should play Princess Di in upcoming biopics? Years ago, Lindsay Lohan told In Touch Weekly she'd like to play the royal icon. That's unlikely to happen now. But according to the U.K.'s Daily Mail, Scarlett Johansson is a "possibility," along with "top" contender Keira Knightley, for an upcoming film that would take us through Diana's entire life from her childhood to her 1997 death.
The French producer of Knightley's 2008 film 'The Duchess' (which was marketed as having parallels to Diana's life) also made 2006's 'The Queen.' That film's star, Helen Mirren, is reportedly being sought to join the still-evolving cast as Diana's mother, Frances Shand Kydd.
Meanwhile, the paper reports another, bigger Diana biopic in the works. This one will zero in on the stylish Brit's relationship with bodyguard Ken Wharfe, and would be based on his 2002 tell-all, 'Diana: Closely Guarded Secret.' Charlize Theron has reportedly been cast as Diana opposite Ewan McGregor as Wharfe. Unlike the rumored Knightley project, which is in "early stages," the Theron-and-McGregor movie already has a script, and a nearly-$50-million budget.

I think Ellen DeGeneres would be a good choice.

Knowing the way things are done in today's world, Niecy Nash will probably get the part.

None of the mentioned actress seem right to play Princess Diana. Matter of fact, there is no need to do a movie. Let her rest in peace.

I agree with some on here, that they should let her be, and R.I.P. People that agree, and don't mind having a film done about her, just want entertainment. It's just an opinion!Personally, who cares who gets that part. There will never be another Princess Diana!

I think Janet Jackson or Beyonce should get the part! Though wonderful singers, they are outstanding actresses!
