Andrew Dominik Latest Celebrity News & Gossip

Elsa Keslassy International CorrespondentNetflix has released new stills of Andrew Dominik’s “Blonde,” starring Ana de Armas as Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe. The movie, based on the bestselling novel by Joyce Carol Oates, will world premiere in competition at the Venice Film Festival.

There are auteur filmmakers galore who have also shown commercial mettle, previous Lido winners and some tantalizing out-of-competition entries including a short film featuring Chris Rock. While there may not be a Dune– or Joker-sized Hollywood tentpole in the bunch, this is an intriguing mix which is sure to bring plenty of star power — notably with Olivia Wilde’s out of competition title Don’t Worry Darling ferrying Florence Pugh, Harry Styles, Gemma Chan and Chris Pine to the island.

Refresh for latest…: The Venice Film Festival will unveil its lineup for the 79th edition this morning at 11 a.m. local time (2 a.m. PT/5 a.m. ET).

Tim Gray Senior Vice PresidentAs of June 30, we’re at the halfway point for 2022 — and for the Oscar eligibility year. There are dozens of possibilities coming up and many familiar elements — plenty of biopics, a reliance on fall film festivals, a heavy dose of streamers — but this could be an unusual year.In the first six months of the year, A24’s “Everything Everywhere All at Once” and Paramount’s “Top Gun: Maverick” seem likely.

Netflix‘s new Marilyn Monroe biopic, Blonde, arrives later this year.Directed by Andrew Dominik (The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford) and based on the novel by Joyce Carol Oates, Blonde is described as a story which reimagines the Hollywood icon and “blurs the lines of fact and fiction”.Speaking to Deadline last week (June 22), Brody – who plays Monroe’s husband and literary giant Arthur Miller in the film – joked that “there’ll be some controversy” around the fictionalised biopic (per The Independent).Watch the trailer for Blonde below.The film has attracted attention in recent months for acquiring a restrictive NC-17 rating in the US. As reported by Screendaily in February, editor Jennifer Lame (Tenet) was brought in early last year to “curb the excesses of the movie”.Speaking at the time about the rating, Dominik said: “It’s a demanding movie.

Matt Donnelly Senior Film WriterAward winning actor Scoot McNairy will star opposite Amy Adams in the forthcoming adaptation of the best-selling book “Nightbitch.”Mounted by Searchlight Pictures and Annapurna, the film will tell of a suburban mom thrown into the stay-at-home routine of raising a toddler. As she embraces the feral power deeply rooted in motherhood, she becomes increasingly aware of the bizarre and undeniable signs that she may be turning into a dog.McNairy will star as Adams’ oft-traveling husband in the project.

Zack Sharf Brad Pitt won an Oscar in 2020 for his performance in Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” and is fronting a major studio tentpole later this summer with Sony’s “Bullet Train,” and yet the 58-year-old actor isn’t setting himself up for some kind of late career resurgence. Quite the contrary.

Narrative filmmakers don’t always make the best documentary filmmakers. And vice versa.

The Venice Film Festival and Netflix have enjoyed a fruitful relationship for a while now.

Hasn’t Marilyn Monroe‘s legacy had enough controversy this year??

Ana de Armas‘ new movie may raise some eyebrows.

Zack Sharf Much hoopla has been over the NC-17 rating assigned to “Blonde,” the upcoming Marilyn Monroe drama that casts Ana de Armas as the Hollywood icon. The film’s director Andrew Dominik has defended the rating, arguing that “the NC-17 version of the Marilyn Monroe story” is what viewers want, although that doesn’t mean he was always expecting the restrictive NC-17. Dominik told Vulture that he thought he was playing in the R-rated sandbox when he was making the film.“I was surprised.

Today, Wednesday, May 11, as a one-time global event, filmmaker Andrew Dominik’s new documentary on musicians Nick Cave and Warren Ellis, “This Much I Know To Be True,” premieres in select theaters (check the “This Much I Know To Be True” website to see where it’s playing today near you). If Dominik’s last documentary with Cave, “One More Time With Feeling,” was a dark elegy about grief, this new one (read our review here), is much more like a spiritual, nearly gospel-like reverie about healing and the process of acceptance.

This Much I Know To Be True, has spoken to NME about how the movie depicts how far Nick Cave has come in his journey of processing grief.This Much I Know To Be True, which is in cinemas for one night only tomorrow (Wednesday May 11), is a documentary meets performance film that centres around the creative relationship between Cave and his Bad Seeds bandmate and longtime collaborator Warren Ellis, and looks at the creation of their most recent albums ‘Ghosteen‘ and ‘CARNAGE‘.Dominik – known for writing and directing films including Chopper, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Killing Them Softly and the upcoming Marilyn Monroe biopic Blonde – explained to NME how he first met Cave back in 1986.“It was at a drug dealers’ when I was just an innocent little private schoolboy,” he said. “I walked into the living room and there was the prince of darkness, just sitting on the couch watching a documentary about earth worms. I started going out with his girlfriend three months later and that’s how I got to know him.

The long-running collaboration between Australian filmmaker Andrew Dominik (“Chopper,” “Killing Them Softly”)and celebrated musicians Nick Cave and Warren Ellis is three films deep now with a fourth on the way. Cave and Ellis —who record as part of Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, but also on their own as a duo—scored Dominik’s second film, “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford” (2007), and now have made two music documentaries in a row with the filmmaker.

Mindhunter director Andrew Dominik has detailed the planned plot from the show’s stalled third season.After its second season in 2020, the critically-acclaimed Netflix series was indefinitely delayed. There’s been little hope of a third season materialising ever since, with stars Jonathan Groff, Holt McCallany and Anna Torv all released from their contracts.Speaking to Collider, season two director Dominik explained the direction season three would have taken – and it involves a trip to Hollywood.“What they were going to do with season three was they were going to go [to] Hollywood,” Dominik said.

Denial, anger, bargaining, depression? Many are still trying to accept the chances of a third season of the David Fincher-produced serial killer series “Mindhunter” on Netflix are slim to none. The show is based on the very real group at the FBI that developed the agency’s profiling methods and signs of compulsive mass murderers after interviewing them in a prison setting about their lives and why they kill.

Filmmaker Andrew Dominik‘s new Marilyn Monroe movie “Blonde” starring Ana de Armas (“Blade Runner 2049,” “No Time To Die“) is easily one of the most anticipated films of the year (it’s certainly high on our list). In the Netflix project Armas plays the blonde bombshell actress who tragically died too young.

There’s good news and bad news for fans of “The Assassination of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford,” the 2007 Western from filmmaker Andrew Dominik starring Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck and featuring a gorgeous score by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis. While the film was a flop at the time at the box office— it made $15 million worldwide on a budget said to have been $30 million and made all of $3 million domestically— the film has since gone on to become a huge cult classic, routinely listed on many Best Films Of The Decade lists (including ours).

Following delays and pushbacks from the studio, the film will be released this year, becoming the first Netflix film to have an NC-17 rating.
