Naomi Watts To Play Marilyn Monroe
Naomi Watts To Play Marilyn Monroe – Aussie actress Naomi Watts will play Marilyn Monroe in a new film on the blonde bombshell.
Titled Blonde, the film will be based on the controversial book by the same name, which details the late actress’s love affairs and encounters on the casting couch.
The production, which begins shooting in January next year, will trace Monroe’s life from her humble beginnings as Norma Jeane Baker to the creation of the Marilyn myth, Britain’s Daily Telegraph reports.
Director Andrew Dominik, whose credits include The Assassination of Jesse James, says he wants to tell the story of “the great female icon of the 20th century”.
“For men, she is an object of sexual desire who is desperately in need of rescue. For women, she embodies all the injustices visited upon the feminine – a sister, a Cinderella, consigned to live among the ashes,” he said.
