Jessica Chastain set to play Marilyn Monroe in 'Blonde'
Quote:
Two-time Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain is nearing a deal to play Marilyn Monroe in Andrew Dominik's passion project “Blonde,” multiple individuals familiar with the project have told TheWrap. Representatives for Chastain and Worldview Entertainment did not immediately respond to requests for comment. First announced in 2010, “Blonde” is based on Joyce Carol Oates’ 700-page novel of the same name, which reimagines the inner, poetic and spiritual life of Norma Jeane Baker — the child, the woman and the fated-celebrity better known by her studio name of Marilyn Monroe. Oates drew on biographical and historical sources to paint an intimate portrait of Marilyn that reveals a fragile, gifted young woman who repeatedly remade her identity to overcome the odds and define stardom in the 1950s.
Slay me Jessica
But I wish people would stop whoring out Marylin even after her death for movies
BUT Jess always serves class and talent so it will probably be great

This. Hollywood should refrain from making films about her. It's kind of getting old.

This is not a typical exploitative Hollywood fare. This is an auteur's passion project. If there ever should be one film about Marilyn/Norma Jean, this is the one.
Queen Jessica used Marilyn as for inspiration for her character in The Help and completely slayed, she is my favorite actress and I cannot wait to see what she brings to this role.
