Two Marilyn Monroe Biopics In The Works

What is it about Hollywood that no sooner does somebody have a good idea, then it turns out that somebody has had the same brainwave. Now it’s rival Marilyn Monroe biopics. Wild Bunch, the French sales agent has announced here that it’s handling international sales on Blonde, an adaptation of Joyce Carol Oates’ imaginary Marilyn Monroe memoir. Naomi Watts, who arrives in Cannes for Fair Game, will play Marilyn. Director Andrew Dominik (The Assassination of Jesse James) and producer Anthony Bregman of Likely Story (Synecdoche New York) plan to start shooting the $20 million film in January 2011.

The Weinstein Company has its own Marilyn project, My Week With Marilyn, due to begin filming in late September. Michelle Williams will play Marilyn. This one’s about the time Monroe spent in England shooting The Prince and the Showgirl opposite Laurence Olivier. Ralph Fiennes was going to play Olivier but dropped out to direct his film version of Coriolanus. The film is being produced by David Parfitt, who won an Oscar for Shakespeare in Love. The director is Simon Curtis. Scarlett Johansson turned down playing Marilyn before William.

Naked Gun Reboot On It's Way

By
If you've seen Naked Gun - or The Naked Gun: From The Files Of Police Squad ! to give its full title - you'll know that it's a comedic masterpiece that springboards off astonishing levels of silliness and random spoofery. Leslie Nielsen's Frank Drebin is a loveable buffoon for the ages, even when he's discussing his dicky prostrate. Do not, however, expect the Ed Helms -starring reboot to adopt exactly the same tack. According to Naked Gun director/co-writer David Zucker, talking up Airplane!'s screening at Nashville's Wild West Comedy Festival, the new version will not attempt to hit the same spoofy sweet spot as the Zuckers and Jim Abrahams' 1988 comedy. "It won’t be like the Naked Gun that I did," Zucker revealed. "It may be good, but it won’t be that kind of movie. They’re going to use the title. They asked me if I wanted to produce.
