It would seem Oliver Hirschbiegel‘s Diana aims to be big in the UK and Japan as those are the only two territories the film is getting any kind of marketing as it has, more or less, skipped the fall festival circuit with a single appearance at the Zurich Film Festival planned.

Still undated domestically, Diana takes audiences into the private realm of one the world’s most iconic and inescapably public women — the Princess of Wales, Diana (Naomi Watts) — in the last two years of her life. Juliet Stevenson, Naveen Andrews, Douglas Hodge and Geraldine James co-star
Hirschbiegel directs from a screenplay by award-winning playwright Stephen Jeffreys, inspired by the book Diana: Her Last Love by Kate Snell, which was in turn drawn from extensive interviews with close friends and confidantes.
