New photo of Michelle Williams as Marilyn Monroe released
From My Week With Marilyn
By Matt Maytum | Nov 27th 2010
Michelle Williams is currently filming her role as Marilyn Monroe in My Week With Marilyn, and The Daily Mail have a new snap from the movie.
The film focuses on the legendary actress's relationship with Colin Clark, an Oxford grad she met on the set of The Prince and the Showgirl.
Eddie Redmayne is playing Clark, and Kenneth Branagh will be doing his best Sir Laurence Olivier impersonation. There are also roles for Dominic Copper and a post-Potter Emma Watson.
Williams' likeness to Monroe is uncanny, and we know she's got the acting chops to handle such a potentially challenging role. Perhaps this will be her chance to finally take home a little gold man, as this is sure to attract awards-glare.
This biopic is one of many competing Monroe projects, including Andrew Dominik's Blonde, which is set to star Naomi Watts.
