Julia Ormond and Dougray Scott are the latest actors to join the cast of the Marilyn Monroe biopic "My Week With Marilyn."
According to Variety, the cast includes Michelle Williams, who will star as Monroe, along with Judi Dench, Kenneth Branagh, Dominic Cooper, Emma Watson and Eddie Redmayne.
Ormond will play Vivien Leigh, taking the role after Catherine Zeta-Jones dropped out of the film, while Scott will portray playwright Arthur Miller.
Story focuses on a week in Monroe's life during the tense filming of "The Prince and the Showgirl," which also starred Sir Laurence Olivier (Branagh).
Adrian Hodges wrote the screenplay, based on the diaries of Colin Clark, Monroe's assistant who worked with her on the set of "The Prince and the Showgirl."
Simon Curtis is directing with David Parfitt ("Shakespeare in Love") producing through London-based Trademark Films. The Weinstein Company is distributing the film.
Principal photography is underway at Pinewood Studios in London.
