Just what the world needs, ANOTHER movie about Marilyn Monroe. Sigh.
It has been announced that a new Marilyn based movie, My Week With Marilyn, will be in production soon, and Scarlett Johansson is one of the names being battered about to play Norma Jean. The movie will be based on her time in London while filming The Prince and the Showgirl with Laurence Olivier.
It is based partly on the diary of Colin Clark, brother of politician and writer Alan Clark, who worked for Olivier.
Clark later published the diary about his time with Marilyn during the making of the film. But, said Parfitt, there were details of one week which were missing from the diary.
‘Once everyone else was dead, Clark had arranged for the missing week to be issued,’ he explained.
Clark died in 2002. The diary tells of Clark showing Marilyn around the Queen’s private apartments at Windsor. With Arthur Miller, her then husband, away in Paris, he had to keep her company.
Marilyn was in her 30s when she filmed the movie, so Scarlett may be too young. Other actresses said to be considered? Michelle Williams, Amy Adams and Kate Hudson.
