Movie buzz: The (Marilyn) Monroe doctrine

THE MOVIE "My Week With Marilyn"

THE DEAL This last-minute addition to the Hamptons International Film Festival, announced Tuesday, features Michelle Williams ("Blue Valentine") in what's being touted as an Oscar-worthy performance as Marilyn Monroe. The movie is based on the nonfiction book by Colin Clark (played by Eddie Redmayne), who was an assistant director on Monroe's 1957 film, "The Prince and the Showgirl." The cast includes Judi Dench, Kenneth Branagh (as Laurence Olivier) and, in one of her first post-"Potter" roles, Emma Watson.

INFO Sunday at noon at Guild Hall, 158 Main St., East Hampton. Tickets are $20. 631-237-5530; hamptonsfilmfest.org.

WHO Diego Boneta

THE MOVIE "Paradise Lost"

THE DEAL The Mexican soap star, already set for an American breakthrough in the upcoming film adaptation of Broadway's "Rock of Ages," has landed another high-profile movie role, Deadline .com reports. Boneta has been cast as Adam -- as in, the first man -- in an action-driven version of "Paradise Lost," John Milton's blank-verse epic. Camilla Belle (2009's "Push") will play Eve, and Bradley Cooper will play Lucifer. Alex Proyas ("I, Robot") is the director.

WHO Michael Lindsay-Hogg

THE DEAL The son of screen star Geraldine Fitzgerald, this eclectic director -- his output includes the landmark BBC series "Brideshead Revisited," the Beatles documentary "Let It Be" and nearly two dozen videos for the Rolling Stones -- will make a local appearance next week to speak about his newly published memoir, "Luck and Circumstance," which includes this bombshell: Only while writing the book did the 71-year-old Lindsay-Hogg finally learn that his father was Orson Welles.

INFO Monday at 7:30 p.m. at Cinema Arts Centre, 423 Park Ave., Huntington. Tickets are $13. 800-838-3006; cinemaartscentre.org.
