One of the most anticipated productions that will be coming out next month is “My Week with Marilyn,” a bold film that will tell the story of a one-week romance Marilyn Monroe reportedly had with one of Sir Laurence Olivier's assistants.

The film has Michelle Williams as the female lead, but also features Emma Watson in one of the supporting roles – for the record, other huge names will also be making appearances, including actor-director Kenneth Branagh.

A new set of photos of Emma in character (as Lucy) has been released and, for what it's worth, it looks like the Simon Curtis' film has gotten the costume part down to the letter.

Still, that's not the biggest issue with “My Week with Marilyn,” voices online point out: while all the actors, including Emma, might be putting amazing performances, several question marks hang over Williams' take on the iconic blonde.

She simply doesn't seem right for the part, they say.

“My Week with Marilyn” is out in US theaters on November 23, 2011. We'll see then if the skeptics were right about Michelle.
