The Andrew Dominik directorial will chronicle the journey of Norma Jeane from an unknown young woman to America's sex symbol. The film is based on the best-selling novel by Joyce Carol Oates. In an interview with Netflix Queue, Armas candidly talked about her new avatar and the vision of the movie. 

''Andrew’s ambitions were very clear from the start — to present a version of Marilyn Monroe’s life through her lens. He wanted the world to experience what it actually felt like to not only be Marilyn, but also Norma Jeane. I found that to be the most daring, unapologetic, and feminist take on her story that I had ever seen,'' she said.

As per Dominik, the film will dive deeper into Monroe's psyche and give a glimpse into the events that unfolded behind close doors. ''She’s deeply traumatized, and that trauma necessitates a split between a public self and a private self, which is the story of everyone, but with a famous person, that often plays out publicly, in ways that may cause additional trauma,'' he said.

''The film is sincere. It’s made with love. It’s made with good intentions. But it’s full of rage at the same time,” Dominik stated. Blonde will release on Netflix on September 23.
