Judi Dench has two new movies she reportedly signed on,  My Week with Marilyn and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel . Collider.com has the following info for both of these new films... Judi Dench has signed on to star opposite Michelle Williams and Kenneth Branagh in My Week With Marilyn , one of two Marilyn Monroe biopics in development .  This one takes place on the contentious set of 1957’s The Prince and the Showgirl , in which Monroe (Williams) sought respectability by working with lauded actor/director Laurence Olivier (Branagh); unfortunately Olivier came to loathe the blonde bombshell and treat her like “a naughty schoolgirl.” Dench will play fellow dame Sybil Thorndike, one of the stars of Prince . According to The Daily Mail , Dench will start shooting her scenes on September 20th , two weeks prior to the primary filming schedule.  The accommodation resulted from Dench’s commitment to James Madden’s adaptation of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel ....
