Ana de Armas Says Marilyn Monroe’s Spirit Was With Her For The Filming Of “Blonde”
The fictionalized Marilyn Monroe biopic, Blonde, has been a topic of discussion for some time. The film, based on the novel Blonde by Joyce Carol Oates, has got tons of press for being reportedly too nasty and crazy for the people at Netflix. The film is rated NC-17, which means that there might be a visible nut-shot in it because that’s what level that is, and even the book it’s based on has been accused of gratuitously capitalizing on a woman’s tragic life by creating a fictional biography of her that includes rape. But the reviews are in, and after its screening at the Venice Film Festival, Ana de Armas is being praised for her performance as a fictional Marilyn, one person calling it “uncanny.” Which I’m assuming actually means “uncanny, except for the accent.“ But we have Marilyn herself to thank for this tour-de-force because according to Ana, her spirit was with her during filming. Wow, these ghosts don’t have anything else to do except hang out with actresses?
The Marilyn Monroe Estate Defends Ana de Armas’ Natural Accent In “Blonde”
It feels like we’ve been threatened with the release of Blonde starring Ana de Armas as Marilyn Monroe (seen above giving me more “Brittany Murphy as Judy Greer’s character in Jawbreaker” than Marilyn) for eons, but maybe I’m just confusing it with all the other 5 million Marilyn Monroe projects that are keeping Marilyn’s memory alive Marilyn from fucking resting already. But Blonde is finally landing on Netflix on September 28, whether we like it or not, and when the first full trailer was released last week, talk went from “WHY DOES THIS EXIST?!” to debate over Ana’s Cuban accent mixing in with her breathy Marilyn voice. The owners of The Marilyn Monroe Estate have taken a side and they have defended Ana’s performance in the trailer, accent and all. But then again, the Estate also defended Kim Kardashian after her nuclear power plant ass destroyed Marilyn’s dress!!!!
Here’s The Official Trailer For “Blonde” Starring Ana de Armas As Marilyn Monroe
The fact that the hardest working woman in show business has been dead for 60 years speaks volumes about our culture. And since our culture can’t read real good, Marilyn Monroe has about as much chance of resting in peace as Ana de Armas does of wiping Deep Water and all that led up to it from our collective memories. Even if Blonde, for which we now have a feature-length trailer, skyrockets her to stardom, there’s always going to be a faint snail trail left behind.
FYI: Chris Evans Is “Laser-Focused” On Finding A Partner
Chris Evans promoting Lightyear is sooo last month. Chris Evans promoting his new Netflix movie, The Gray Man? Here, now, totally on fleek! Chris plays a CIA bad guy who’s totally obsessed with hunting down a CIA good guy, played by Ryan Gosling. In a new interview with Shondaland, Chris is asked if he’s ever been as “laser-focused” with a search in his own life. Chris thinks about it for a moment, then answers that he’s “laser-focused on finding a partner.” Ohhh, so that’s why he’s been wearing Ray Bans on the red carpet! Bitch has those Cyclops laser-eyes! So, if you’re hanging out at the same bar as Chris Evans and you notice a tiny little red dot on your forehead, congratulations! You have been chosen!
Ana De Armas Says She Hated The Attention She Got With Ben Affleck So Much That She Moved Out Of Los Angeles
At the beginning of the COVID-19 quarantine, Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas, who seemed to say, “Fuck it – there isn’t a red carpet in sight, so let’s make our own!” by getting photographed almost daily in a variety of monotonous ways, like walking dogs, walking with coffee, or just walking to front doors. Hey, it was barely entertainment, but we took what we could get. As it turns out, Ana wasn’t hitting the streets every day for our benefit. In fact, she is now saying that absolutely hated all the attention she and Ben got when they went outside, to the point that it made her pack up and move away from Los Angeles.
The Teaser Trailer For “Blonde” Starring Ana de Armas As Marilyn Monroe Is Here
I feel like we’ve been hearing about Blonde, the NC-17 rated Marilyn Monroe biopic starring Ana de Armas, for years, decades, millennia! Rumor has it director Andrew Dominik began production before Marilyn even died. Well, today, all our patience has finally paid off; Netflix released the teaser trailer for the flick. It features an eerie version of “Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend,” slow motion, and black-and-white and color (watch out, Schindler’s List). Translation: this is art, baby!
