The project became known back in 2010. It was based on the novel by Joyce Carol Oates "The Blonde", which was on the shelves of shops and in Russian. "Blonde" is not a documentary about Norma Jean Baker, but a work of fiction based on the real facts of her short life.
Plot
From birth to becoming super old Hollywood. The research film will tell about each significant step, first of Norma Jean Baker, and then of her evolutionary image - Marilyn Monroe. How did it happen for a simple girl from California to grow almost to the sex symbol of all America. A difficult childhood, several broken marriages, eternal squabbles with bosses and agents who have found a gold mine in her. Broken psychology, alcohol and drugs, and unnecessary (unnecessary) connection with the family of President Kennedy.

Interesting Facts
Now you can know that:
- Plan B Entertainment is owned by Brad Pitt. She and Andrew Dominik have worked on the same site more than once.
- The film, which has been in limbo since 2010, would like to intercept Netflix, but there hasn't been a formal deal yet.
- In 2014, Jessica Chastain (who was personally convinced by Brad Pitt) was practically approved for the main role, and before her Naomi Watts was also in the plans (with whom the director agreed).
- According to Andrew Dominic, the script contains little dialogue and he described the film as "an avalanche of images and events."
- In 2001, a mini-series about Monroe was released based on the same book by Joyce Carol Oates.
Let's hope that this information about the movie "Blonde" (2021) is final, the actors are constant, we will soon see the trailer and find out the exact release date. This is not the first film dedicated to the Hollywood sex idol, but each work should not be similar to the previous one, bringing something new: in the picture, in the plot, in the music. It is worth paying attention again, although this is a biopic, but this is not a documentary.
