Ana de Armas

Ana de Armas transforms into screen icon Marilyn Monroe for Andrew Dominik's NC-17 rated Netflix film "Blonde," out September 23.

It’s kind of a nightmare. Dominik added, “It’s a tragedy. The NC-17 rated film is a fictionalized portrait of Monroe as adapted from Joyce Carol Oates’ novel of the same name.

The NC-17-rated film, based on the novel by Joyce Carol Oates, hits Netflix on September 23rd.

The trailer than pivots from black-and-white to technicolor to catch Marilyn stepping out of a limo and on stage in a shoulder-baring pink gown. We then pivot back to black-and-white to find Marilyn at the vanity. The first question was always, ‘What was Norma Jeane feeling here?’ We wanted to tell the human side of her story.

The evocative biopic is set to arrive on Netflix in September.

Fame is what made Marilyn the most visible person in the world, but it also made Norma the most invisible.” We’d pore over every detail in the photo and debate what was happening in it. In between the glimpses of her public life, she pulls herself together backstage, flashing a million dollar smile just seconds after crying.

The movie, based on the bestselling novel by Joyce Carol Oates, is notable for its NC-17 rating. The supporting cast includes Bobby Cannavale, Adrien Brody, ...

Netflix “insisted” on bringing in “Hereditary” and “Tenet” editor Jennifer Lame to “curb the excesses of the movie.” Dominik added that “Blonde is “a demanding movie. Fame is what made Marilyn the most visible person in the world, but it also made Norma the most invisible.” We’d pore over every detail in the photo and debate what was happening in it.

The biopic taking a fictionalized look into the life and career of iconic actress, singer, and model Marilyn Monroe titled Blonde, has finally got a teaser ...

The short teaser trailer also shows a snippet of the iconic white dress moment, among other moments that are in color, contrasting with the black and white. The song that plays in the trailer is a seemingly slowed-down and almost eerie version of “Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend” that enhances the dark undertone that we can feel from the trailer. The black and white trailer begins with Marilyn crying in front of a dressing table mirror and ends with her showing off one of the most radiant smiles that we have come to associate with the Hollywood star.

Blondes really do have more fun. Ana de Armas revealed the first photos and video trailer playing Marilyn Monroe in the upcoming Netflix biopic “Blonde,” ...

De Armas didn’t go blond for “Blonde,” but she did wear a bald cap for her transformation. “It was like, three and a half hours every day of makeup. The Cuban actress shared, “Andrew’s ambitions were very clear from the start — to present a version of Marilyn Monroe’s life through her lens.

Ana de Armas appeared in the first teaser of "Blonde" as Marilyn Monroe in Netflix's upcoming film, debuting in September.

"When someone has the audacity to put it on and walk in it up the stairs, you're so ignorant to the history of that piece of fabric that it makes me so angry." I’m extremely respectful to the dress and what it means to American history. I would never want to sit in it or eat in it or have any risk of any damage to it, and I won’t be wearing the kind of body makeup I usually do,” Kardashian told Vogue at the time. "The first question was always, ‘What was Norma Jeane feeling here?’ We wanted to tell the human side of her story. "He wanted the world to experience what it actually felt like to not only be Marilyn, but also Norma Jeane," she explained. It was like skin on her body," says Morrissette.
