It is one of the most anticipated films on online video platforms of the year. “Blonde” should find its audience, since it tells the story of Hollywood’s most famous diva. The ultimate icon of American cinema will be embodied by Spanish-Cuban actress Ana de Armas, who made a name for herself in the latest James Bond film, “Dying Can Wait”. The first trailer is online this Thursday. And it is true that she has everything of a blonde, in this film!
Inspired by Joyce Carol Oates’ bestseller – and a project close to the heart of screenwriter and director Andrew Dominik, this film is a fictional portrait of the actress, model and singer. It’s a very personal take on the trajectory of Norma Jeane Baker, the unhappy daughter of a single mother who became one of the biggest stars in the world.
“Andrew Dominik’s ambition was very clear from the start: to portray Marilyn Monroe’s journey by adopting her own point of view. Andrew wanted viewers to understand not only what Marilyn felt as a star, but also as Norma Jeane” says Ana de Armas in a press release from the American giant.
“I found it to be the bravest, most uninhibited and most feminist approach to the trajectory of this woman that I have ever seen” assures the actress who has become platinum blonde for the occasion. Andrew Dominik wishes in his work to explore the complex relationship between the public figure of Marilyn Monroe and the person she was in private. Viewers will be able to judge live, from September 23.
