Controversial Princess Diana Film Showing Her Last Moments Set to Debut at Cannes

By Moviefone Editors Posted May 11th 2011 02:10AM

An as-yet-unseen documentary about Princess Diana is causing outrage for what it claims to show: a photograph of the late princess as she lay dying after her car crash in a Paris tunnel.

The film 'Unlawful Killing,' by actor and filmmaker Keith Allen, alleges that Diana predicted her own death by "accident" four years before it happened and that the royal family and other British officials have conspired in an elaborate cover-up.

The 90-minute film, which Allen calls "the inquest of the inquest," is reportedly backed by Mohammed Fayed, whose son Dodi also died in the infamous crash. British cinemas have refused to show the film due to its graphic content, but it will be screened this Friday at Cannes.

"Screening this film in Cannes for the world's media will be both exhilarating and terrifying for me," Allen tells the London newspaper The Guardian.

"[The movie] is not about a conspiracy before the crash, but a provable conspiracy after the crash," Allen says. "[It's] a conspiracy organized not by a single scheming arch-fiend, but collectively by the British establishment –- judges, lawyers, politicians, police chiefs, secret services, even newspaper editors."

Mark - I so agree!! Let Diana Rest in Peace! People writing books and making movies and doing interviews talking about this and that and witnesses and conspiracy and like WHO CARES!!! They are all looking to make money off of an amazing tragedy that robbed the world of a beautiful spirit. All that matters is she is gone. Her children lost their mother that night! That is all that matter. The fact that people are trying to capitalize on this sad event is sickening!! Mark - your novel idea is wonderful. The whole world should let Diana Rest in Peace!!

By Kai Ferano

Maybe Diana doesn't want to rest in peace. Maybe she, and millions of her admirers, want the Queen, Prince Phillip, and creepy Prince Charles to be shown as they really are. Diana was the most popular woman in the world when she died in that tunnel; you expect the public to stop talking about her?

You are all nuts. This beautiful woman was in a car traveling 100-120 mph that hit a concrete poll. The driver was drunk. How can any of this be a conspiracy. 120 mph plus concrete poll = death. Period. Quit always looking people to blame. It was speed and alcohol.

Yes, Diana was all about the truth of being who we all really are. They murdered her!

We can only hope they would stop yapping about her -- sure, she did a lot of good -- but only because of the money and status she got from being married to Charles -- and, again, people have short memories -- he's vilified for having an affair with Camilla, but how many men did Diana have? Didn't she practically stalk one of them? I think she was either bi-polar or had some sort of mental thing -- I mean, what woman, in her right mind, throws herself down a flight of stairs while pregnant?

By Tamra

I think they royal family was behind her death.

By m69

I agree with Tamra. I got that feeling when the accident happened. She was and always will be our princess x

By Donnamarie

I too believe that she was murdered. Even if the driver was drunk and sped.............. theres something wrong with this thing. Also they said she had no seat belt or Dodi. Thats wierd. The driver shouldnt take off until he makes sure all have their seat belts on. Hey...Im a mom to 5 boys. I do not step on the gas until all seat belts are on my boys. She and Dodi were DEFINETELY killed.

By patricia

One thing that the everyone seems to forget is that as long as Diana lived Prince Charles would most likely not have married Camilla. Diana always said it was 3 people not 2 in her bed and in books written about her she begged Camilla to leave Charles alone so she and the Prince could at least try and work out their marriage.
Seeing pictures of the mistress now wife standing with Diana's sons is sickening and it struck me how often the British press kept saying how well the princes grew up under Camilla's guidance.

You never hear the princes say how well they grew up under Camilla's guidance. They always credit their mother's example regarding charity work and being adventurous...not just sit around from 1 p.m. through the afternoon sitting in the royal garden getting soused from one's favorite drink, which Camilla is known for doing -- not that I blame her -- it's a good life!

By Moudsie

To what end? It makes no sense for them to have had her killed. It was a drunk driving accident -- case closed.
