Ana De Armas Doesn't Want To Be Marilyn Monroe In Incredible Blonde Trailer
The official trailer for Blonde gives the most detailed look yet at Ana de Armas in the role of Marilyn Monroe. The film, which brings to life the lurid story behind the classic film star who appeared in iconic projects including Some Like It Hot, The Seven Year Itch, and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, is a fictionalization of Monroe's life, based on the 2000 novel of the same name by Joyce Carol Oates. Brought to the screen by director Andrew Dominik, who previously dabbled in historical revisionism for his Oscar-nominated 2007 film The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Blonde will be rated NC-17 (for graphic sexual content), the first streaming exclusive film for which that is the case.
The film will follow Monroe through her career's dizzying rise, breathing life into some of the most notorious myths about her life, including her alleged affair with President John F. Kennedy (Caspar Phillipson, who previously played the same role in 2016's Jackie). The film will also detail her two high-profile celebrity marriages, to baseball star Joe DiMaggio (Bobby Cannavale) and The Crucible playwright Arthur Miller (Adrien Brody). The large ensemble cast also includes David Warshofsky as studio exec Darryl F. Zanuck, Eric Matheny as Monroe's Niagara co-star Joseph Cotten, and Xavier Samuels as Charlie Chaplin Jr.
