KENNETH BRANAGH - JUDI DENCH "My Week With Marilyn"

"My Week With Marilyn" (The Weinstein Company, 11/4): Starring Michelle Williams as Marilyn Monroe, "My Week With Marilyn" is based on two books by Colin Clark who was an assistant on the set of 1957's "The Prince and the Showgirl."

The film revolves around Monroe's relationships with two men on the set. One, a friendship with Clark (Eddie Redmayne) the other a less-than-ideal working relationship with her co-star, Lawrence Olivier (Kenneth Branagh). No trailer yet, but cast alone gets me into the theater for this one. Joining Williams, Branagh and Redmayne are Dominic Cooper, Emma Watson, Julia Ormond (as Olivier's wife, Vivien Leigh), Dougray Scott (as Monroe's husband, Arthur Miller) and Judi Dench. directed by Simon Curtis in his feature debut.
