Speaking to Screen Daily, Dominik acknowledged that his upcoming Marilyn Monroe biopic is indeed NC-17, a rating which be described as “a bunch of horseshit”. “Blonde” would be the first Netflix Original to receive the ultra-prohibitive certification. “It’s a demanding movie,” he said. “If the audience doesn’t like it, that’s the fucking audience’s problem. It’s not running for public office. ”It’s an NC-17 movie about Marilyn Monroe, it’s kind of what you want, right?” he continued. “I want to go and see the NC-17 version of the Marilyn Monroe story.” Another confirmation is that Netflix indeed Harvey-ed, so to speak, Dominik’s film by bringing in acclaimed editor Jennifer Lame (Manchester By The Sea) “to curb the excesses of the movie.” Yikes. So, we can also theorize that this will not be a “director’s cut”. Dominik added that he also hopes the film will premiere in Cannes in May in an out-of-Competition spot. That would actually make a lot of sense since Cannes has always allowed Netflix to premiere their films in any sidebar, but competition. I can also break the news that the film is supposedly just 95 minutes. Contribute Hire me
