Between Mark ‘Chopper’ Read, Jesse James and Nick Cave, director Andrew Dominik’s films have gravitated towards mythologised men laden with charisma. For his latest project, he’s ringing the changes. Focused on one of Hollywood’s most mythologised women, Blonde is the story of Marilyn Monroe, the ’50s superstar who died in 1962, aged 36.
Adapted from a 2000 novel by US writer Joyce Carol Oates, Blonde is a passion project for Dominik. Development stretches back to 2010; Naomi Watts and Jessica Chastain were attached, long before Ana de Armas signed up. But the crux of Dominik’s attachment to Blonde stayed firm. “The thing about my films is that the feelings they give you always survive,” he tells Teasers.
