Jessica Chastain to Play Marilyn Monroe in BLONDE

jessica chastain
Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain ("Zero Dark Thirty") is set to star as Marilyn Monroe in the biopic "Blonde". The film is directed by Andrew Dominik ("The Assassination of Jesse James") and it is based on author Joyce Carol Oates' historical novel of the same name which "reimagines the inner, poetic and spiritual life of Norma Jeane Baker — the child, the woman and the fated-celebrity". The memoir was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award in 2001 Naomi Watts was previously attached in the lead role, but dropped out some time ago. Brad Pitt and Dede Gardner will produce the biopic through their company Plan B. "Blonde" has been adapted before in the form of a 2001 TV miniseries starring Poppy Montgomery.
