Sometime ago, we got to see promotional pictures of Michelle Williams as iconic actress Marilyn Monroe in the upcoming movie My Week With Marilyn. Now you can see the actual trailer of the movie after the jump!
The movie is set for limited release on November 4. The plot focuses on aspiring director Colin Clark (Eddie Redmayne) who gets a chance to spend a week with Marilyn, who is desperate to get away from the pressure of being a Hollywood star. The movie also stars Kenneth Branagh, Judi Dench, Dominic Cooper, Emma Watson, Julia Ormond, and Dougray Scott.
There is a lot of great talent in this movie, and a good story line. Michelle looks great as Marilyn, and I think that she can really pull this role off. Hopefully I get the chance to see it.

i really want to see it. not 100% on michelle williams as marilyn, just because i find MM so… unattainable… if that makes any sense. regardless, i really can’t wait.

This actually looks pretty good, although Michelle may be a little old looking to do Marilyn justice.

I really want to see this! I was skeptical at first but I think Michelle is portraying her very well! Marilyn’s voice was a little deeper in my opinion but no one is perfect. Michelle is close though!
@MissAshley - Really?? Marliyn died when she was 36 & Michelle is 31 (probably just turned 30 at the time of filming. I think Michelle looks a bit young in the movie but this was about 5 years before she died so I think it fits.

Emma Watson is the only reason I might end up going to see this movie. Everything else is ok..

I think they could have found a better actress to play Marilyn, but I still want to see this.

Hmm…I don’t feel like Michelle Williams has the energy and charisma that Marilyn had. Nor does she really look the part, Marilyn was much softer. But it still looks good.

@missmerlot@xanga - I agree. I feel like she just can’t exude that star power that Marilyn had.

I’ve never understood the fascination that people have for Marilyn Monroe, so I probably won’t be waiting to see this movie.
@missmerlot@xanga - Marilyn had charisma? I just don’t see it.

I still don’t understand why they didn’t try to find someone who actually looks like Marilyn Monroe…

Why are people so obsessed with Marilyn? She was a wreck. She had plastic surgery, she wasn’t happy and hey, she committed suicide. Why is that such a glamorous lifestyle for people?

Michelle Williams doesn’t look like her at all!

Michelle Williams looks good, but the movie looks so damn boring and typical. I’m not a Marilyn Monroe fan anyway (seriously don’t understand her appeal), so I don’t plan on seeing it…though I have grown to like Michelle Williams.
