After reading the two books My Week with MarilynSimon Curtis approached producer David Parfitt about making a film based on them. Parfitt said everyone liked the idea, but because Monroe is so familiar and iconic to people, they wondered what was left to say. Adrian Hodges, who wrote the screenplay, told David Gritten of The Daily Telegraph "If you'd said to me one day I'd write a film about her, I'd have been amazed, because I wouldn't have known where to start. They then had to wait for eighteen months while Parfitt negotiated the rights to the books with Clark's My Week with Marilyn. The producer and director had to wait a further six months for Hodges' screenplay. Once it was ready, a search for finance and a cast began. Curtis went to Harvey My Week with Marilyn and told him about his idea for making a film based on Clark's books. Weinstein told Michael Hogan of The Huffington Post that he had read the books for fun, but had never considered them as a film.

Three months later, it was revealed that Williams had been in talks for the role. In NovemberCurtis revealed he had only sought Williams to play Monroe. She was the only actress that producers met with during casting. Williams committed to My Week with Marilyn two years before shooting started. The actress told Adam Green of Vogue that the notion of playing Monroe was daunting, but as she finished reading the script, she knew she wanted the role. The actress then spent six months reading biographies, diaries, My Week with Marilyn, poems and notes about and from Monroe. She also looked at My Week with Marilyn, watched her My Week with Marilyn and listened to recordings. Williams had to gain weight for the role and she worked with a choreographer to help perfect Monroe's walk. More than forty actors auditioned for the role of Clark; among them was James Jagger, who began talks with producers in May In September, it was announced that Eddie Redmayne had been cast as Clark. Parfitt told the Daily Mail My Week with Marilyn finding an actor for the role had been difficult.

Kenneth Branagh began talks with producers for the role of Laurence My Week with Marilyn in July after Ralph Fiennes had to pull out to direct his adaptation of Coriolanus. Branagh was later cast in the role. Dominic Cooper was given the role of Milton H. Greene, a photographer and Monroe's business partner.

Catherine Zeta-Jones was approached by executives at the Weinstein Company to appear in the film as the actress Vivien Leigh.
