Kenneth Branagh in talks to star in Laurence Olivier-Marilyn Monroe film
Michelle Williams may also feature in film depicting squabbles between the two greats during the making of a 1957 movie
Kenneth Branagh famously found himself touted as the natural heir to Sir Laurence Olivier after reprising the actor's classic role for his 1989 version of Shakespeare's Henry V. So it's perhaps fitting that Branagh is in talks to portray Olivier in a film that will detail the latter's squabbles with Marilyn Monroe during the 1957 production of The Prince and the Showgirl.
