You know what I love? When movies are filmed right beneath your nose, there’s nothing really hidden at all from public knowledge, and then you find out someone like Emma Watson is in a movie that you didn’t really care about all that much to begin with and all of a sudden, you’re interested. That’s kind of how this trailer went for me. I sat through the first twenty seconds or so thinking, “Alright, Michelle Williams, you’re going to make a fine Marilyn Monroe, that’s super. I love the production design, and it’s definitely going to be a period piece – which I just love,” and then I saw Emma Watson grace the screen and all composure was lost. “Emma Watson’s in this film? Now I’m going to have to see it.” She’s the youngest, most budding-est actress going right now, and as you’re probably aware, I’m completely obsessed with seeing what her film career is going to be like post-Potter.
So that’s how it went, and then at the very ass-end of the clip, I – of course – automatically thought of our good friend, Lindsay Lohan, and how, um, very different this movie would be if, for some reason, she’d been cast as her idol, Marilyn Monroe, but I’m not that sure the director and producers wanted this to be a comedy.
Right, let’s get bets on now. Michelle Williams is going to get an Oscar for this.
