SOUTH PACIFIC: THE MOVIE!!! 
According to Playbill, Michelle Williams will be playing Nellie Forbush in the cinematic adaptation of South Pacific, which is set to be directed by Tony winner Michael Mayer (American IdiotSpring Awakening). It is rumored that Tony-winner Hugh Jackman is going to be approached to play Emile de Becque & Grammy-winner Justin Timberlake is the hopeful casting choice for Lieutenant Cable. Michelle Williams can do no wrong & is a perfect pick for this role (she would have been perfect as Daisy Buchanan too, but that's it's own thing). Hugh Jackman proved his invincibility in Les Miserables & I think Emile is a complicated enough role that it might be one of the only ones that could actually challenge & enrich him after that life-changing [his & mine] performance. I love Justin Timberlake as Lt. Cable! His artistic endeavors never fail & he clearly has conquered all three of the threats that musical theatre demands. Plus, Lt. Cable is the all-American boy & Justin Timberlake could not embody that sentiment more. South Pacific has a beautiful score & a dramatic war-time storyline that was made for the big screen. I can't wait! I want Miss Saigon next!


WENDY & LUCYMy favorite Michelle Williams movie 

I mean, besides/in addition to Brokeback Mountain, Blue Valentine,  & Shutter Island
I liked her performances in My Week with Marilyn & Take This Waltz, but disliked those movies overall
I also grew up on Dawson's Creek & have nothing but positive things to say about her Jen Lindley years.}
