Scarlett Johansson is in the running to be the next Marilyn Monroe for an new film entitled, My Week With Marilyn by director Simon Curtis and producer David Parfitt. Reportedly also in the running are Kate Hudson, Amy Adams and Michelle Williams.
In my opinion the only actress in the group that could play off Monroe is ScarJo. I’m surprised Lindsay Lohan didn’t try to join this film playing one of her idol’s!
The movie will be based on the diary of Colin Clark, an employee of Laurence Olivier, who looked after the blonde bombshell when she came to London to film Olivier’s ‘The Prince and the Showgirl’ in 1957.
In the diary, Clark talks about showing Marilyn around Queen Elizabeth’s private apartments at Windsor Castle and other “behind-the-scenes” trips.
Clark published excerpts of his diary in 1958, but left the details of one week out. These chapters weren’t released until he died in 2002, and will form the basis of the movie.
Parfitt explained: “Once everyone else was dead, Clark had arranged for the missing week to be issued.”
Do you think Scarlett would make a good Monroe?

I can’t think of any other actress that would fit the role better! Lindsay would need to go up a fair few dress sizes to make her look more believable as Monroe.
