Netflix has released the trailer for the new film ‘Blonde,’ featuring Ana de Armas playing the late Hollywood film icon Marilyn Monroe, who died at age 36 in 1962.  Bobby Cannavale, Adrien Brody, Julianne Nicholson, Xavier Samuel and Evan Williams also star.

Blonde is based on Joyce Carol Oates’ historical fiction novel of the same name. The film is written and directed by Andrew Dominik, and received an NC-17 rating for “some sexual content”.  An official synopsis for the film reads: “From her volatile childhood as Norma Jeane, through her rise to stardom and romantic entanglements, ‘Blonde’ blurs the lines of fact and fiction to explore the widening split between her public and private selves.”

Blonde premieres Sept. 23 on Netflix. Take a look at the trailer – here.’
