The Weinstein Company is stirring up interest here on two titles new to the international marketplace as buyers mill around Toronto’s hotels and screening venues eager to fill slots in 2011 and beyond.

Sales head David Glasser is introducing Spy Kids 4 and the Marilyn Monroe project My Week With Marilyn starring Michelle Williams.

Williams will star alongside Kenneth Branagh and Judi Dench. The story revolves around a trip the starlet takes to London in 1956 to act in The Prince And The Showgirl opposite the celebrated British actor Laurence Olivier (played by Branagh).

When the lonely Monroe takes a liking to Olivier’s assistant a relationship evolves, however the young man finds his feelings compromised when the tyrannical Olivier uses him to keep the actress in line on set.

Dench will portray the production’s other female star, Sybil Thorndike. Simon Curtis has been lined up to direct from Adrian Hodges’ screenplay and David Parfitt is producing.

Glasser is also talking to buyers about Spy Kids 4: All The Time In The World, the latest episode in Robert Rodriguez’s family adventure that will be in 3D and stars Jessica Alba.
