My Week with Marilyn Trailer

With a nicely put together, prestige-friendly cast in Michelle Williams, Kenneth Branagh, Judi Dench, Dominic Cooper, Emma Watson and Eddie Redmayne and a glittering, old-Hollywood backdrop-- that of the filming the film The Prince and the Showgirl-- My Week with Marilyn appears like top drawer eye candy.  Which of course, there's nothing wrong with that, but if by some chance, there's a teensy bit of higher substance in the Marilyn Monroe\Lawrence Olivier affair, that would be even grander.  What's striking in the trailer (at least to me) is the confidence projected in Williams-- who certainly looks the part, if not exactly sounding it-- she's always had a gift at adding sensitive and honest shadings to unhappy people (Brokeback Mountain, Wendy & Lucy, Blue Valentine), so much she could be the modern movie star poster child for melancholy, and Monroe could certainly fit into wheelhouse on that respect, but there's a tease of quiet extroversion in the trailer that seems exciting.  The Weinstein Company seems a bit sheepish in their early marketing-- the movie comes out November 4, a mere six weeks away, and the first trailer appears just now?  The film will be unveiling at the New York Film Festival shortly, and early word will strike fast...
