“#Netflix Reportedly ‘Absolutely Horrified’ By Ana de Armas’ Sexually Explicit Marilyn Monroe Biopic
\n<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content]<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, this is a piece of unexpected and intriguing Hollywood news<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Last week Variety<\/em> reported a little scheduling change that mostly flew under the radar: Netflix<\/strong> was moving their Marilyn Monroe<\/strong> biopic\u00a0Blonde<\/em> from this Fall to some undisclosed time in 2022.<\/p>\n

The film, adapted from the bestselling historical novel, has been in development since 2010, with Jessica Chastain<\/strong> and Naomi Watts<\/strong> attached at one point or another. By the time the movie actually got made it was Ana de Armas<\/strong> taking on the role of the ultimate blonde bombshell.<\/p>\n

Per the rag, no reason was given for the delay, but the highly anticipated project already had early Oscar<\/strong> buzz, so quite a few industry insiders wondered if the streaming giant was delaying the film to focus on an awards push for it\u00a0next<\/em> year, while they focus on other movies<\/a> this year.<\/p>\n

However, based on one report, that is about as far from the reason as possible.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0World Of Reel<\/em> this week, Netflix is not waiting to give\u00a0Blonde<\/em> an Oscar push \u2014 because they\u2019re \u201cabsolutely horrified\u201d by it!<\/p>\n

The report claims the film\u2019s final cut is currently on its way to getting an NC-17 rating and is full of sexually graphic material, including a rape scene and a scene of \u2014 we could not make this up \u2014 \u201cbloody menstrual cunnilingus.\u201d The movie is also reportedly just plain strange, with moments that include a fetus talking to Marilyn about her abortion.<\/p>\n

The outlet claims Netflix was indeed hoping for an awards player, but what they got was an artsy, inaccessible indie film that they CANNOT sell with its current rating. They\u2019re asking for a new cut, but director Andrew Dominik<\/strong> is not playing ball!<\/p>\n

Dominik is not exactly known for blockbuster fare; his most popular films are the\u00a0Brad Pitt<\/strong> vehicles The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford<\/em> and Killing Them Softly<\/em>, the latter of which is in the elite club of films to earn an \u201cF\u201d Cinemascore \u2014 which often go to only the most dark or obtuse art films that wide release audiences do NOT get. But that\u2019s not what Netflix wants.<\/p>\n

For what it\u2019s worth, even the author of the celebrated original book, Joyce Carol Oates<\/strong>, called the adaptation \u201cvery disturbing.\u201d She also called it \u201cbrilliant,\u201d tweeting<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cI have seen the rough cut of Andrew Dominick\u2019s brilliant adaptation, and it is startling, brilliant, very disturbing and (perhaps most surprisingly) an utterly \u2018feminist\u2019 interpretation\u2026 not sure that any male director has ever achieved anything [like] this.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So hey, that\u2019s pretty strong praise from the National Book Award winner.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re guessing if Dominik sticks to his guns and the film gets an NC-17, Netflix will choose to bury it in January of February, releasing it without any ad push at all. After all they\u2019re likely still gun shy over that whole\u00a0Cuties<\/em> thing.<\/p>\n

What do YOU think? Does this sound like a Marilyn biopic YOU are interested in seeing??<\/p>\n
