Here’s the first trailer for My Week With Marilyn an upcoming drama starring Michelle Williams as Marilyn Monroe, Kenneth Branagh as Sir Laurence Olivier and Eddie Redmayne.
Based on two books by Colin Clark, it depicts the making of the 1957 film The Prince and the Showgirl, which starred Marilyn Monroe and Laurence Olivier. The film focuses on the week in which Monroe spent time being escorted around Britain by Clark, after her husband, Arthur Miller, left the country.
As you will see in the trailer, Michelle Williams embodies the icon so well that you already can’t imagine any other actress in the role. It’s strange, about a week ago I unknowingly was on some Williams kick watching Wendy and Lucy, Shutter Island and Blue Valentine in a few days of each other. She’s up there as one of my favorite actresses and this is now definitely on my radar.
The film hits November 4th in limited release, watch the trailer below:
