The Marilyn Itch Part I: Blonde

Well dearies, it seems that Hollywood has reached its senses.
I have been hoping for a Marilyn Monroe biopic for a long time, and just today I find out that there are not one, but TWO Marilyn movies in the works.
Well, chocolate frogs.
I decided to talk about them both, because they both seem interesting and chances are that you, dear reader, have not heard of either.
So I'll start off with the one that I heard of first, which is Blonde, which will supposedly star Naomi Watts (IMDB confirms) of the movie King Kong.
This movie is set to start filming in January of 2011, and is based off of the Joyce Carol Oates book of the same title, and will follow the start of Norma Jeane Baker to Marilyn Monroe.
The book is controversial, as many view it to be VERY historically inaccurate. For example, in one scene of the book, Marilyn has sex with President Kennedy while he is on the phone with Fidel Castro, and why Kennedy had Castro on speed dial to begin with, America will (hopefully) never know.
Blonde will be directed by Andrew Dominik, a director I have never heard of in my entire life, so I won't dwell on him too much.
This is not the first time that Blonde has been made.
It was originally made in 2001 as a TV movie that starred Poppy Montgomery as Marilyn, but did not gain much recognition.
Naomi Watts herself is no dead runner for Marilyn. She is blond, which is crucial when you depict the most famous blond in history, but she is very thin and almost other worldly. When you see Marilyn, she is very blond and curvaceous and she looks like a real old Hollywood girl.
When you compare the two they look nothing alike:

They have similar qualities, but Watts doesn't have the LOOK of Marilyn.
Needless, I will be seeing this movie when it comes out and hope that Naomi has what it takes to portray a very complicated woman.
Tomorrow I'll most likely talk about the other Marilyn movie in the works.
Bye.
