This is a film written and directed by Andrew Dominik based on the 2000 book by Joyce Carol Oates. While the film talks about the life of the iconic actress, it is a fictionalized narration of who the actress was.

Blonde Story
In a nutshell, Blonde is a biopic of the life of Marilyn Monroe. It is based on Joyce Carol Oates' bestselling novel of the same title. Although it clearly depicts Marilyn Monroe as the main character in the novel, it is a re-imagination of her life.
The film gives a glimpse of her young life as Norma Jeane and her rise to stardom. Not to mention, Marilyn's romantic life is also depicted in the film.
Again, this is an explicitly fictionalized take on Marilyn Monroe's life back in the 50s and 60s.
Where to Watch Official Blonde Trailer?
Since Blonde is nearing its official release, Netflix has already released a couple of trailers for the film. The first teaser is a 1-minute black and white clip of the iconic actress. The teaser was released in June 2022.
A month later and Netflix released a longer trailer giving a glimpse of the actress' life. But not all is as glamorous as people think it is. There is actually something dark in the actress' private life. And this can be seen in the movie once it comes out.
