An NC-17 movie is coming to Netflix according to the latest rumors. Blonde, a Marilyn Monroe biopic directed by Andrew Dominik, might be getting the go-ahead on the massive streaming service. On Twitter, ArmasUpdates, one of the biggest Ana De Armas accounts on social media, shared some details from World of Reel. For those unaware, there was some controversy earlier this year when reports surfaced surrounding the biopic. Apparently, some decision-makers at Netflix were unsure if hosting the movie was a good idea. Those reports claimed that Dominik’s film was just too sexual. If these new developments are to be believed, this would signal that there has been a change of heart for the massive platform. (Or, the possibility of a massive controversy that will drive viewership. This would be in line with how the recent Dave Chappelle special rollout has functioned for Netflix.) At any rate, the movie was supposed to be pushed to 2022. So, there won’t be any other windows into what’s going on with de Armas’ project for the moment.
