Blonde Movie Netflix Release Date, Cast, Plot & Other Update- 01Destination

The forthcoming biography of Marilyn Monroe on Netflix received an official NC-17 certification from the Motion Picture Association for "sexual material," making it the first Netflix Original to do so.

Blonde, featuring Ana de Armas (Deep Water) as the renowned actress and pinup model, will be available on Netflix this year. The film's director and writer Andrew Dominik already foresaw an NC-17 rating, telling Screen Rant, "It's a challenging movie.

It is completely the audience's fault if they don't like it. It is not an election year campaign. It's kind of what you were hoping for—a Marilyn Monroe movie rated NC-17. I'm interested in seeing the Marilyn Monroe tale in its NC-17 rendition.

The development of Blonde commenced in 2010, and the movie's production got underway in August 2019. Now that we have the release year, it looks that principal photography is over and it is currently in post-production. Here is all the information we presently have about Blonde on Netflix.

About Blonde Movie

Blonde, a movie based on Joyce Carol Oates' 2000 novel of the same name, depicts Norma Jeane Mortenson's journey to become Hollywood superstar Marilyn Monroe.

Despite having a seemingly flawless life, Marilyn struggled with abuse, relationships, drug addiction, and other issues, as her fans are aware. Marilyn was found dead from a barbiturate overdose in 1962 when she was just 36 years old.

The movie, which was partially shot in black and white and partly in colour, will examine Marilyn's life in front of the camera and also depict her private day-to-day with ex-husbands Joe DiMaggio, an American baseball player, and Arthur Miller, a well-known playwright. The freshly released trailer makes this clear.

Blonde Movie Synopsis

Blonde is a biopic of the late American icon Marilyn Monroe, according to its description. The movie was based on the 2000 novel by Joyce Carol Oates, a 700-page dramatised narrative of Monroe's life that The New Yorker once dubbed "the greatest study of American stardom."

The Netflix synopsis for Blonde is as follows:

Ana de Armas portrays the golden bombshell in Andrew Dominik's movie based on Joyce Carol Oates' book of the same name. The most well-known sex icon in the world, Marilyn Monroe, has had her personal past "boldly reimagined" in the movie.

The film provides a fictional account of a model, actress, and singer in the 1950s and 1960s through the lens of current celebrity culture. Bobby Cannavale, Julianne Nicholson, and Adrien Brody all make an appearance.

Director on obtaining an R-Rating for the movie Blonde

Director Andrew Dominik acknowledged to Vulture in May 2022 that he thought Blonde would fall into the R-rated category.

"I was surprised. Yeah. I believed we'd stayed within the lines," Dominik said in reference to the film's NC-17 rating. But in my opinion, if a bunch of men and women are talking about sexual behaviour in a boardroom, the guys might be worried about what the women might think. Really just an odd time.

Contrary to popular belief, sexuality is not always blissful. They are depictions of ambiguous situations. And don't you think American sexual behaviour is especially odd? Why, I have no idea. They generate more porn than anyone else in the world.

Cast And Actors of The Blonde Movie

The casting for this fictional biopic must be perfect. And it seems the filmmakers were successful in their endeavour. Given that she is a Cuban/Spanish actress, Ana de Armas is the last person you would have thought to choose in the role of Monroe.

However, it seems the casting director got it just right based on the online pictures and videos. The characters in the film are a mixture of real people and fictional characters.

• Ana De Armas as Marilyn Monroe
• Caspar Phillipson as John F. Kennedy
• David Warshovsky as Darryl Zanuck
• Evan Williams as Edward G. Robinson Jr.
• Bobby Cannavale as Joe DiMaggio 
• Xavier Samuel as Charlie Chaplin
• Adrien Brody as Arthur Miller
• Toby Huss as Allan Snyder
• Julianne Nicholson as Gladys Pearl Baker
• Michael Masini as Tony Curtis
• Luke Whoriskey as James Dean

Netflix Release Date for the Blonde Movie

The list of movies that Netflix will carry in 2022 indicates that Blonde will be released this year. Although it has been bumped up a few days to September 28, 2022, the streamer revealed its exact U.S. debut date on June 16: September 23.

Premiere of The Blonde

Many film festivals, including Cannes, will show the movie. Since the public release is often a sign that the studio wishes to submit the movie for Oscar consideration, we anticipate it to happen a few months after the festival circuit is through.

After September, a release in the fourth quarter would not be out of the ordinary because the studio would have assessed the critical response and would feel more confident in releasing it to the general audience.

Where and how can I watch Blonde?

The entire first season of Blonde will be made available on Netflix on September 28.

The film will, however, make its world premiere at the 2022 Venice Film Festival, which is slated to run from August 31 to September 10 this year.

It's interesting to note that Blonde will only have a short run in theatres before being considered for a nomination for the upcoming Oscars, which will air in March 2023. The specifics of how that will work have not yet been made in writing.
