Princess Diana is set to be played by a leading Hollywood actress in a £30million movie based on the years before her divorce from Prince Charles.

Oscar-winning South African actress Charlize Theron, 36, and Carey Mulligan, the 26-year-old English star of An Education, are both being tipped for the lead role.

British film producer Stephen Evans, who has scored success with The Iron Lady about former Prime Minister Baroness Thatcher, is basing the film on Diana’s bodyguard’s memoirs.

Evans said he wanted to show the world the truth behind what happened to Diana, who would have turned 51 this year, before her 1996 split from her husband.

It will be told partially from the point of view of Ken Wharfe, who could be played by Ewan McGregor, 40.

Wharfe was trusted to look after her sons Princes William and Harry, who called him ‘Uncle Ken’, and released a controversial book called ‘Diana: Closely Guarded Secret’ in 2007.

Evans told the Sunday Mirror that the film, due for release in 2013, deals with the 11 years of her life ‘just after’ she gave birth to Harry.

It will not cover her relationship with Dodi Fayed or conspiracy theories about her death in a Paris car crash in 1997.

“Actually, when we did an early reading of All New People, Carey Mulligan read the role of Emma for us to hear out loud,” he told Elle.

“She was so cute and she filled me in on one or two things in the play that an English woman would never say. Obviously, I was like, ‘Oh my God, please, I need that.’”

While Mulligan herself will not appear in the play, Braff added that he hopes to work with her in the future.

“She is one of the hottest young stars right now, she doesn’t have time to do a play. But I can’t wait to work with her one day. I am the president of her fan club.”

Seyfried explained, “The funny thing is, the girls that I’m always up against for roles are pretty nice and cool, like Emma Watson. She’s awesome. She’s really funny and smart. And Carey Mulligan. It’s flattering to be up against her because she’s really good, and she’s cool too… I think the era of the diva actress is coming to an end.” Amanda also claimed that she finds it difficult to date non famous guys, as she is unsure of their motives.

Very little is known about the film, but Deadline speculates – based on info gathered late last year – that it is a satire revolving around world leaders who get together to map out worldwide seismic events, from gas prices to wars.

Since bursting onto the scene in “An Education”, which garnered her an Oscar nod for Best Actress, Mulligan has nary missed a step (we’ll forgive her for “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps”). In 2011 she turned in two more Oscar worthy performances, as Ryan Gosling’s dream girl in “Drive” and Michael Fassbender’s out of control little sister in “Shame.” She’ll be seen as Daisy Buchanan in Baz Luhrmann’s “The Great Gatsby” this December and is currently filming folk music drama “Inside Llewyn Davis” for the Coen Brothers.
