The Ana de Armas-starrer “Blonde”, a fictional tale from the life of Hollywood star Marilyn Monroe, will now release in 2022.
Directed by Andrew Dominic, who also adapted Joyce Carol Oates’ novel, “Blonde” was one of the most anticipated films of the year by industry insiders and consumers, reports Variety.com. A specific release date in 2022 has not yet been set and is slated for release on Netflix.
