When to Watch Blonde on Netflix

Netflix set the Blonde release date at 3 a.m. ET/12 a.m. PT on Wednesday, September 28. The movie premiered at the recent Venice International Film Festival and had a limited theatrical release in the United States. Described as a fictional take on the life story of Monroe, Blonde is written and directed by Andrew Dominik, based on Joyce Carol Oates’ 2000 novel of the same name. The project has been developing since 2012, with Naomi Watts and Jessica Chastain previously attached for the leading role. Joining de Armas are Adrien Brody, Julianne Nicholson, Bobby Cannavale, as well as Caspar Phillipson, Toby Hus, and more. The upcoming movie is not a traditional biopic about famous people but offers an original point of view on the life of Norma Jeane.

“One of America’s most acclaimed novelists boldly re-imagines one of America’s most enduring icons in Blonde — the National Book Award-nominated bestseller by Joyce Carol Oates,” reads the book synopsis. “The legend of Marilyn Monroe — aka Norma Jeane Baker — comes provocatively alive in this powerful tale of Hollywood myth and heartbreaking reality. Marilyn Monroe lives –reborn to tell her untold history; her story of a star created to shine brightest in the Hollywood firmament before her fall to earth. Blonde is a dazzling fictional portrait of the intricate inner life of the idolized and desired movie star as only the inimitable Joyce Carol Oates could paint it.”

The project comes from Plan B Entertainment. Brad Pitt produced the film together with Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, Tracey Landon, and Scott Robertson.
