My Week With Marilyn

My Week With Marilyn

This winter sees a whole host of great movies set to grace the big screen - as well as some performances that we should be looking forward to.

So we took at look at some of the actresses that will be on show over the next few weeks and these really are some of the turns that you should be looking out for.

Michelle Williams - My Week With Marilyn

Michelle Williams bagged a Best actress Oscar nomination earlier this year for her performance in Blue Valentine - and she could make it two in a row with My Week With Marilyn.

To take on the role of Marilyn Monroe is no easy task but from early trailers it appears she has nailed her performance - and you know how much the Academy love a biopic picture. 

Personally I am a huge fan of Williams she is a very understated actress but one with huge talent and this is a movie that I have been looking forward too for some time.

Rooney Mara - The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

I have to admit that I never get excited when I see foreign movies remade for English speaking audiences - but they say that there is an exception to every rule and it seems that The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is it.

Rooney Mara takes on the central role of Lisbeth Salander in what could well be the role that makes her as she reunites with filmmaker David Fincher.

This is a dark, gritty and quite often and explicit role for the actress - it will be interesting to see how the actress interprets a role that is so different to what she has done before.

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo looks set to be the must see movie of the festive period and it is one that I cannot wait for!

Rachel Weisz - The Deep Blue Sea

Rachel Weisz is one of the best British actresses currently working in film and she will be back with a couple of projects this winter, one being Dream House, but it is The Deep Blue Sea that we are more interested in.

The Terence Davies directed movie closed the London Film Festival last month and is an adaptation of the Terence Rattigan play of the same name.

The movie follows the wife of a British Judge is caught in a self-destructive love affair with a Royal Air Force pilot.

Weisz has been missing from the big screen for the majority of this year and this emotional drama looks set to kick off a busy period for the actress.

Noomi Rapace - Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

This Christmas Noomi Rapace will steep into a major Hollywood blockbuster for the first time as she takes on the role of Sim in Sherlock Holmes; A Game of Shadows.

The actress joins an all star cast that includes Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law as Guy Ritchie returns to the director’s chair.

We all know Rapace for the gritty role of Lisbeth Salander and it will be great to see her take on a much light role in the second Sherlock Holmes movie.

Chloe Moretz - Hugo

Chloe Moretz is also taking on a lighter role this Christmas as she teams up with martin Scorsese for his first 3D movie Hugo.

Moretz is one of the most exciting young talents currently working in Hollywood and this family adventure looks set to be one of the most charming movies coming over the next few weeks.

Set in 1930s Paris, an orphan who lives in the walls of a train station is wrapped up in a mystery involving his late father and an automaton.
