Michelle Williams to be Marilyn Monroe?

michelle-williams-60s-chicIf you had to pick the actress to play the woman who is pretty much considered be the epitome of a sex symbol, who would you choose?

That’s the question Simon Curtis has had to answer with his upcoming film My Week With Marilyn, a biopic about the one and only Marilyn Monroe.

Current screen siren Scarlett Johansson was originally being looked at to play the role of the Hollywood icon, but it has now been reported that another blonde beauty, Michelle Williams, is in talks to take on the part.

Not much is known about the film yet, but it’s supposedly based on the book My Week With Marilyn, which is based on author Colin Clark’s experience working with Marilyn Monroe during the filming of her 1957 film The Prince and the Showgirl.

Filming is set to begin in June, and we’ll keep you posted on production details as they come.
