Promotion for film continues even though it was completely trashed by critics

While “Diana” was still in production, it was one of the most anticipated projects of the kind in recent years but, the moment British critics saw the final product, they murdered it in the bud with their reviews. The promo trail for the film is still continuing, despite all this.

A new trailer and poster for the film, starring Naomi Watts as the late Princess, have been released.

You can see the poster above: it’s striking for managing to capture the loneliness Diana must have experienced many times since she became Princess, but also the fact that she pretty much had to take on the world alone when she finally decided to listen to her heart.

The trailer is embedded below and offers plenty of hints that the movie will focus mostly on her love affair after the divorce.

“The film is a window into the tumultuous, change-filled period from 1995-1997 in the wake of Diana’s shattering divorce from Prince Charles and at the moment when she stood on the cusp of a different life, evolving into a global humanitarian, mastering her fame and becoming her own woman,” a synopsis of the film says.

“Diana” will be out in theaters in the US on November 1.
