After years of work, Andrew Dominic Blonde It’s finally on the cusp of becoming a reality, with a Netflix movie debut expected sometime this year. While we’re yet to get any official footage or looks for the Ana de Armas-starring, the project has already made headlines for being the first Netflix project to receive an NC-17 rating for “certain sexual content.” This is the highest possible rating a film can be given by the Motion Picture Association of America, and usually indicates that the project contains adult content only suitable for viewers 18 or older. In a recent interview with PlaylistDominic talked about the NC-17 rating, and noted that he was surprised by it – but understood that, given the circumstances of the film’s release.
Dominic revealed: “Yeah, that was a bit surprising, that he got that rating.” “It was really #MeToo that allowed this to happen Blonde Happen or occur. It was a golden moment where you had to believe in a woman’s perspective no matter what. Whereas before that I think people were really uncomfortable with how to do it Blonde I depicted some sacred American cows. Then it became a golden moment where it didn’t matter whether they were sacred cows or not, which is why they were made, what eventually allowed them to happen. Here’s the thing, though, and it’s not like I’m unsympathetic to their point of view, you know? NC-17 is not good for your movie, you can’t be on certain billboards and you can’t advertise certain things, there are all kinds of restrictions that are put on you because of that rating. So, having an NC-17 is no good, you know, and it’s not something I wanted in the movie. Also, I don’t think it’s something the movie deserves, it doesn’t really reflect society’s norms, and I think it’s about something political.”
“we will, Blonde You’ll get a kind of theatrical release,” Dominic added. I mean, you can’t have a billboard, and…what I don’t understand is why Netflix signed with the MPAA anyway. I mean, there must be some advantages. I just can’t understand why anyone would put themselves under such censorship if they didn’t have to, but… you know, honestly, I probably shouldn’t be thinking about these things because I really don’t. [know enough about it.]”
Adapted from Joyce Carol Oates’ 2000 novel of the same name, Blonde It is a fictional film about the life of Monroe, which catapulted her to become a cultural icon as an actress, model and singer until her death in 1962. The film was written and directed by Andrew Dominic, who previously worked on The assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford And Kill them quietly. The project has been in the works in some form or fashion since 2010, with Naomi Watts and Jessica Chastain originally lining up to star at various times and times.
De Armas was filmed in March of 2019, with production starting in August. Other cast members on the project include Adrien Brody as Arthur Miller, Bobby Cannavale as Joe Dimaggio, Caspar Phillipson as John F Kennedy, Julian Nicholson as Gladys Pearl Baker, Toby Haas as Alan “Whitey” Snyder, and Xavier Samuel As Charles Chaplin Jr. , Luke Whiskey as James Dean.
In the years since production Blonde Rumors began about the project, with some speculating that Dominik was clashing with Netflix over the film’s final trailer. In an interview with ScreenDaily earlier this yearThat was not the case, Dominic asserted, and his hope was that the film would retain its NC-17 rating.
“It’s a demanding movie,” Dominic explained. “If the public doesn’t like it, that’s the audience’s problem. It’s not running for public office.”
“It’s an NC-17 movie about Marilyn Monroe, it’s kind of what you want, isn’t it?” Dominic added. “I want to go and see the NC-17 version of the Marilyn Monroe story.”
Blonde Netflix is expected to release it at a later time.
