my week with marilyn trailer

My Week with Marilyn is based on Colin Clark's The Prince, The Showgirl and Me and My Week with Marilyn; two diary accounts, which document his time on the set of the 1957 film The Prince and the Showgirl and the time he spent with Monroe.[4] After reading the two books in 2004, Simon Curtis approached producer David Parfitt about making a film based on them.[5][6] Parfitt said everyone liked the idea, but because Monroe is so familiar and iconic to people, they wondered what was left to say.[5] Adrian Hodges, who wrote the screenplay, told David Gritten of The Daily Telegraph "If you'd said to me one day I'd write a film about her, I'd have been amazed, because I wouldn't have known where to start."[5] Gritten reported the saving grace for Hodges was that Clark's books were written about Monroe at a specific time.             watch more
