Netflix released the official trailer for the NC-17 rated film Blonde, starring Ana de Armas as the iconic late actress Marilyn Monroe.

"Fame is what made Marilyn the most visible person in the world, but it also made Norma the most invisible." "It's depictions of situations that are ambiguous." "It's not like depictions of happy sexuality," Andrew explained. "Marilyn doesn't exist," she continues. "But I just can't." The pressure seems to be too much to bear, and in one clip, she screams before scratching at her face.

Based on the bestselling novel by Joyce Carol Oates, the NC-17 biopic is set to premiere at the 2022 Venice Film Festival and starts streaming September 28.

Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio were married for less than a year before divorcing, but the two remained friends until her untimely death.

At the time, officials ruled her death as a probable suicide. At the time, the couple could not have a church ceremony due to the fact that they had both been previously married and divorced. DiMaggio, who happened to be on set, was reportedly furious, causing the two to fight in public. On Aug. 5, 1962, Monroe died from an overdose of barbiturates at her Los Angeles home. The two were only married for nine months. Since it was an elopement, Monroe did not wear a traditional wedding gown.

From the 195's to the 1960s, discover Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio's style during their courthouse wedding and press tour honeymoon.

During their marriage, Monroe and DiMaggio were often seen together in similarly sharp outfits. In February 1954, after their wedding and immediate 10-day honeymoon period, Monroe and DiMaggio continued their romance in Tokyo, which was spent on a press tour, including a moment to visit local sights like a fishing village, where the “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” star wore a sleeveless color-blocked belted dress with a striped scarf in her hair. Upon leaving San Francisco City Hall in January 1954, immediately following her marriage to DiMaggio, Monroe wore a black button-up jacket topped with a white fur collar and a bejeweled bow.

A few days from now, August 4, will mark the 60th death anniversary of one of the biggest stars of Hollywood. She was found dead of a drug overdose in her ...

In spite of all her success, she was a victim of a marketplace built and run by men. By the time she was shooting for her last film The Misfits (1961) she was barely in a condition to work. Every intimate moment, every careless word was recorded; at some point the Mafia was involved, and accusations of her being a communist (a black mark in Cold War-era America) were bandied about. She was married at 16 to James Dougherty and working in a factory, when a photographer turned her into a pin-up girl. It is typical of showbiz make-believe, that from her name (Norma Jean Mortenson) to her dazzling blonde hair, there was a lot that was fake about the woman. It was her statue, Forever Marilyn, in the classic skirt-billowing pose (From The Seven Year Itch, 1955) that was sculpted by John Seward Johnson in 2011 and put up in Palm Springs a year later.

In fact, when the artist Andy Warhol wanted to comment on U.S. society’s obsession with and objectification of film stars in the 1960s, he chose Monroe as the subject of his famous silkscreen paintings. All of this is set to audio of the real Monroe singing “Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend” from her iconic role in Howard Hawks' 1953 film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. The juxtaposition between the confident seductress persona of the song and the vulnerable, exploited young woman portrayed by de Armas masterfully evokes the tragic irony of Monroe's life. The new Blonde trailer depicts a mood of vulnerability and sadness.

Six decades on, the spectacle of Marilyn Monroe's tumultuous life and death continues to hold us in its grip. With a major new biopic on the way, ...

Dominik has said the film will be “critical of American sacred cows”, including Kennedy, and that “there’s something in it to offend everyone”. It is evident that the film will push the limits. In the novel, death comes “hurtling toward her” in the form of a man “without passion and without pity”, an assassin. The novel, Oates wrote in a preface, was a “radically distilled ‘life’ of Marilyn Monroe”. By radically distilled, she explained, she meant that she had been highly selective, used real-life facts and characters – she credited my biography as being one of her main sources – but freely imagined much else. Will the coming film be an indulgent wallow in her sex life and in conspiratorial fantasising about her death, or deliver something worthwhile? Early in the book, Norma Jeane is raped by a Hollywood studio mogul who is allotted the name “Mr Z”. The rape scene is graphically written, sparing no detail. Later, when she finds fame, she marries first “the Ex-Athlete” and then “the Playwright” – transparent references to Monroe’s husbands Joe DiMaggio and Arthur Miller. Why do I call Oates’ “fictionalised” tale of dalliance with the Kennedys “historical libel”? Credible information does suggest that Kennedy dallied with Monroe. His brother Robert, research indicates, also had some sort of covert connection to her. Since its publication, the appetite for all things Monroe – in particular the seamier side of her legacy – has only grown more voracious. Kim Kardashian, whose stunt it was to wear the Monroe dress at the Met, responded to criticism for having worn a deceased woman’s clothing by insisting, bizarrely, that she had “so much respect” for her. She was a founder member of the Hollywood branch of Sane, the Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy. In May, a portrait of a woman sold at auction in New York for $195m (£157m): a record for an artwork by an American artist and by any artist in the 20th century. Yet 60 years after she died, Monroe’s vivid presence in the world’s culture – only Diana, Princess of Wales rivals her hold over the public imagination – does not allow for nuance.

Netflix has released the official trailer for its upcoming Marilyn Monroe biopic 'Blonde', and in it we see Ana de Armas deliver a refreshing performance.

The film has recently been given an NC-17 rating in the US. When discussing this in an interview with Deadline in June, Brody, revealed that this is to be expected, as “there’ll be some controversy” around it when released. The clip is accompanied by a slowed version of Monroe’s 1953 hit ‘Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend’, as the trailer peeks behind the curtain at the star’s life, showing her struggling with the persona that she has created. Furthermore, the shots in monochrome are particularly convincing, as they take us back to the days when Monroe was at the height of her popularity.

The new Blonde trailer teases that Marilyn Monroe's life was a nightmare dipped in sequins.

I want to go see the NC-17 version of the Marilyn Monroe story.” As Monroe notes in the trailer’s closing line, “Marilyn Monroe only exists on the screen.” And yet, in the nearly 60 years since her death, audiences have been too intoxicated with that silver screen lie to ever let it go. Last year’s Spencer was by far the best biopic made to date about Princess Diana. The picture provides a scathing microcosm for her torments, if albeit in a highly fictionalized context. Eventually she demurs, “I guess I was discovered.” Yet Monroe’s answer is crosscut with a flashback that is clearly about to descend into the horrific: a young Norma Jeane Mortenson is approached in her memory by a far older and leering Hollywood producer after being cornered in his office. With that said, it remains an open question whether audiences want to see things from that perspective. We of course will have to reserve judgment on Blonde until after its premiere at the Venice Film Festival and it is screened for critics around the world.

New trailer for forthcoming 'Blonde' exposes Marilyn Monroe's greatest triumph and defeat: being Marilyn Monroe.

It’s a particular phenomenon that’s even been dubbed “The Marilyn Monroe Effect”. “I don’t know how to explain what she did because it was so very subtle, but she turned something on within herself that was almost like magic.
