Marilyn Monroe is what they call a sex symbol, one of the most popular pop culture icons of all-time, up there with folks like James Dean. Now, I'm not usually a fan of biopics, but there is a touch amount of intrigue in this particular project titled
Blonde, starring actress Naomi Watts as Monroe . I don't know, there is something mysterious about Marilyn Monroe that has made her a source of intrigue for film enthusiasts, and even just average joe moviegoer, for whole generations now. That mystery has not only lead to this biopic being produced, but also another film being made by the Weinstein Company starring Michelle Williams as Monroe about her time in England shooting
The Prince and the Showgirl with Laurence Olivier.
Out of the two, I'm more intrigued to see Watts' take on the character, she is one of the finer actresses working now, plus she embodies more of Monroe's characteristics than Williams, not to mention the source material sounds better in the biopic starring Watts, being based upon Joyce Carol Oates' imaginary Marilyn Monroe memoir. Anyways here's the first photo of Watts as Monroe, so I guess decide for yourself. (Hint: Monroe is on the left, Watts on the right).
