After months of anticipation, The Weinstein Co. has finally released the trailer for Oscar hopeful My Week With Marilyn, in which Michelle Williams takes on the role of cinema icon Marilyn Monroe.

In this first look at the movie, in theaters Nov. 4, viewers catch a glimpse of both the public and tragic private persona of Monroe, all wrapped around a week-long love affair of sorts with a young man (Eddie Redmayne). Kenneth Branagh, Judi Dench and Harry Potter beauty Emma Watson are among the many supporting players.

What do you think of Michelle's take on Marilyn? Does she nail the part? Or is she headed for an Oscar snub?

Check out the trailer now.
