(Deadline) “Production is currently underway on the Netflix and Plan B-produced Marilyn Monroe biopic Blonde, which has Ana de Armas starring as Hollywood icon. The Andrew Dominik-helmed film has added Garret Dillahunt (Fear the Walking Dead, Widows), Scoot McNairy (Killing Them Softly, True Detective), Lucy DeVito (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The Comedian), Michael Masini (Birds Of Prey, Dynasty), and Spencer Garrett (Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, Untitled HBO Lakers Project) to the cast.

In addition, Chris Lemmon (Duet, A Twist of Lemmon), Rebecca Wisocky (Star Trek: Picard, For All Mankind), Ned Bellamy (Django Unchained, The Paperboy), and Dan Butler (Modern Love, The Mist) have joined previously announced Bobby Cannavale, Julianne Nicholson, Lily Fisher, Evan Williams, Xavier Samuel, Caspar Phillipson, Toby Huss, Sara Paxton, and David Warshofksy.”

I’ll say straight up that I don’t know a ton about Marilyn Monroe. I know she made a bunch of famous old movies and allegedly gave my dear ole grandpappy JFK that DUMMY brain. That’s more than interesting enough material for a movie in my opinion, and the olds will eat this shit up. Plan B also makes almost nothing but heaters, so I’m sure it will be great. Ana De Armas is a great actress with a ton of range, and director Andrew Dominik made ‘Killing Them Softly’ and ‘The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford’, both of which are criminally underrated. The additional crew looks cool, but looking at the IMDB I have a single suggestion. There is no casting AS OF YET for JFK. I know one person who would be perfect for the job.
