We have to admit that we’ve been looking forward to any and all news that we can get on Blonde, the Marilyn Monroe pic staring Ana de Armas.
Ana plays Marilyn on the movie, which is based on the novel by Joyce Carol Oates, and is a fictionalized chronicle of the life of Marilyn – her inner circle and the things that we didn’t see splashed across the news.
The Netflix movie just got it MPA rating and we didn’t see this rating coming.
The movie has now officially been rated NC-17 for “some sexual content,” via The Wrap. This is Netflix’s first original movie (not one that they’ve hosted) to receive this rating and we respect it.
A source familiar with the movie said that the movie, “has some adult, mature content and that the film’s writer and director Andrew Dominik did not want to compromise some of the more intense elements of the iconic actress’ life.”
Nothing but respect for that choice.
No word on an official release date, but we know that it’s set to release sometime in 2022.
