My Week with Marilyn will have its UK Premiere this Sunday the 20th at the Cineworld Haymarket theatre in London. A couple of sources have listed Emma Watson as attending, but I would treat this as a rumor until we get more reliable information. Celebrity arrivals will likely start between 5 and 6 PM.
In the early summer of 1956, 23 year-old Colin Clark, just down from Oxford and determined to make his way in the film business, worked as a lowly assistant on the set of “THE PRINCE AND THE SHOWGIRL”, the film that united Sir Laurence Olivier with Marilyn Monroe, who, whilst shooting, was also on honeymoon with her new husband, the playwright Arthur Miller.
Emma plays Lucy, a wardrobe girl on the movie set, and love-interest of Colin. Emma says about her character, “Lucy has experience on set, whereas to Colin Clark the film world is all new, shiny and exciting. She is very wary about Assistant Directors and she knows how these films run, but she‟s still a bit naïve and innocent. Even though at first she‟s very careful of Colin, she falls for him and ends up getting hurt.”

My Week with Marilyn opens in limited release November 23.
