Michelle Williams As MARILYN MONROE?

At one point in time, Scarlett Johansson was rumored to play the late great bombshell Marilyn Monroe in Simon Curtis‘ movie MY WEEK WITH MARILYN which is about assistant director of THE PRINCE AND THE SHOWGIRL whose job was to look after Marilyn during her time in London shooting the film in 1957. Before I go on, I just wanna make a note of how odd it is that instead of a biopic of the person, Hollywood sometimes makes films about the relationship of that person with his or her helper or assistant. The Last King Of Scotland, Me And Orson Welles. Anyways, Scar-Jo does have the looks and the cleavage to play Monroe but I think we can agree that acting-wise, this project could do better. According to Production Weekly’s tweet, Oscar nominee Michelle Williams (Brokeback Mountain) might like it hot…

Michelle Williams in talks to star as Marilyn Monroe in Simon Curtis’ “My Week With Marilyn,” filming is scheduled to begin in June.

IMDb hasn’t officially listed this project as active, at least none that I can find as of today but I think Williams is a great choice to play Monroe a.k.a Norma Jean.
Another actress that I think would be perfect is Elizabeth Banks. As some of you may know, I’d usually vouch for Mary Elizabeth Winstead but I just can’t imagine her in this role, she’d look weird.
