The first look at Netflix’s controversial Marilyn Monroe biopic is here!
Blonde is based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Joyce Carol Oates, and even months before its September premiere, it’s already managed to ruffled quite a few feathers! First off, it was given a rare rating of NC-17 — often seen as the kiss of death for wide-release Hollywood movies! In fact, Netflix themselves pushed back the release date last year when they were shocked by the graphic nature of the film! Director Andrew Dominik has already said the piece has “something in it to offend everyone” — definitely not one to watch with the kids, folks!

In the first teaser for the biopic we get a first really good look at Ana De Armas as the iconic blonde bombshell — and no matter what else comes of the film, you have to admit she looks absolutely stunning!
The synopsis of the movie claims it “boldly reimagines” Marilyn’s life — something plenty of fans and historians aren’t too happy about:
Dominik is not holding ANYTHING back in this retelling! And Joyce Carol Oates has already given her stamp of approval, calling it “very disturbing” and “brilliant” in a tweet last year.

She also said she “found it to be the most daring, unapologetic, and feminist take on Marilyn’s story” she had ever seen. Huh.
Sounds like the whole team worked really hard to really capture the true essence of the late legend — and weren’t scared to cause some controversy along the way! In a February interview
