The film stirred controversy surrounding a relative unknown Ana De Armas\u2019 being cast as the iconic actress, as well as the material with a \u201cfictionalised telling\u201d of Marilyn Monroe\u2019s journey through a series of very abusive relationships. De Armas was announced to play Norma Jean in 2019, with the film originally set for a 2021 release date. The film has since been pushed back to a September 23<sup>rd<\/sup> 2022 release.<\/p>\n<p>Dominik selected De Armas after almost a decade of trying to cast the lead role. Jessica Chastain and Naomi Watts had reportedly been attached to the film, which has been in development for 12 years. The film, also starring Adrien Brody (from \u2018The Piano\u2019) as Arthur Miller is an adaptation of Joyce Carol Oates\u2019 2000 book of the same name. Bobby Cannavale and Julianne Nicholson also star as figures in Monroe\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<p>Marc Rosen, president of entertainment at Authentic Brands Group (ABG), which owns the Marilyn Monroe Estate, said of the adaptation: \u201cMarilyn Monroe is a singular Hollywood and pop culture icon that transcends generations and history. Any actor that steps into that role knows they have big shoes to fill. Based on the trailer alone, it looks like Ana was a great casting choice as she captures Marilyn\u2019s glamour, humanity, and vulnerability. We can\u2019t wait to see the film in its entirety!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Actor Brad Pitt has also said how Ana de Armas transformed the \u2018Blonde\u2019 production. \u201cShe is phenomenal in it,\u201d Pitt went on to say: \u201cAnd that\u2019s a tough dress to fill!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>ROCKS RATING: ****<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Director Andrew Dominik\u2019s Netflix biopic \u2018Blonde\u2019 has already made huge headlines.
