Michelle as Marilyn

I am so looking forward to seeing Michelle Williams in the new film My Week with Marilyn.  I'm not sure when it opens here in Australia (February 16, I think?) and when it does open, I am going to be the first in line.

I have always been an admirer of Marilyn Monroe, I read everything and anything I could get my hands on over the years.  Set in 1956 and based on a memoir written by Colin Clark, a third assistant director on The Prince and the Showgirl, the movie Marilyn was in London to make along side British thespian Sir Laurence Olivier.Watch the trailer for the film below:
I have read some interviews with Michelle Williams and Kenneth Branagh (whom I adore) and it has given me even more incentive to see it because they both seem to be so invested in their respective roles.  

Biopics always face a tough audience because they are either going to be judged and scrutinised by die-hard fans.  This is the first film about Marilyn to be made in some time, just when you thought there are no tales left to tell...  
Personally, I can't wait.


Kisses!
