Netflix has released a trailer for their first NC-17 film, Blonde. The Marilyn Monroe project stars Ana de Armas as the icon. Of course, with that rating, the project gained a lot of buzz as director Andrew Dominik tried to find somewhere that would host his film. This year, audiences will be able to see what all the fuss is about for themselves. The NC-17 rating for Blonde is due to “some sexual content.” Over at the Motion Picture Association of America, very few mainstream films have been categorized in this way. However, Blonde is willing to move forward in an effort not to dilute the project’s vision. Dominik actually spoke about the decision to keep making the film despite the ratings dustup. He told The Playlist that there was some surprise, but he understands the MPAA’s decision in this case. Check out what the filmmaker had to say right here.
