Australian beauty Naomi Watts is set to play Marilyn Monroe in a new film about the icon’s tumultuous life. Directed by Andrew Dominik and based on a novel by Joyce Carol Oates, the film will explore the humanity, the emotion and the tragic destiny of the blonde bombshell.
Simply titled Blonde, the film is set to go into production in January 2011. Director Andrew Dominik said of the project, “Why is Marilyn Monroe the great female icon of the 20th Century? For men, she is an object of sexual desire that is desperately in need of rescue. For women, she embodies all the injustices visited upon the feminine, a sister, a Cinderella, consigned to live among the ashes.”He added, “I want to tell the story of Norma Jean as a central figure in a fairytale; an orphan child lost in the woods of Hollywood, being consumed by that great icon of the twentieth century.”We can’t wait to see Naomi Watts’ take on such an iconic figure. Tell us – do you think she will do the role justice?
