First Look at Naomi Watts as Marilyn Monroe in Blonde
Last week we reported that two films based off the life of Marilyn Monroe - Blonde and My Week with Marilyn - were being shopped around at the Cannes Film Festival. Today the French film site Allocine has posted the first promo image from Blonde, which features Naomi Watts in character as Monroe. Click on the image below to access our photo gallery from the new film project.

Blonde comes to theaters in 2012 and stars Naomi Watts. The film is directed by Andrew Dominik.

I agree with you, Cyn. There is nobody that could do MM justice! The makeup, the platinum hair, the voice, and the way she moved might be attainable . . .however, nobody has that look of innocence, of vulnerability that she had. Even Lawrence Olivier said, "Look at her. She could be all of ten years old." She was so beautiful, so sexy, so witty, so childlike, and so unique that it would be impossible in my opinion to find a duplicate. I love to read about her, and I will see this movie, as well as My Week with Marilyn with Michelle Williams. Still, I know that the fact that neither can hold a candle to her will hurt the movies for me. MM was just one of a kind!!!!!!

This will be a real test for CGI in order to pull it off. If they do, they should win a special effect award.

There really isn't anyone who could pull off a convincing Marilyn Monroe. She was so genuinely, earthly, sexy down to her bones in such a unique way. Blonde hair and red lips don't make a girl Marilyn.
and god I hope they gave Naomi some fake curves.

Is Naomi Watts going to put on about 60 lbs. to pull this off? Ridiculous casting.

@Prozac_Bear, she does look more like Marilyyn.. and hotter. But Watts still looks sexy and is a great actress. Agreed with CBF about the whole "murder" thing.

WHAT?! Naomi Watts...?! As Marilyn? ...uh....
MM was murdered, though. I hope they touch on that otherwise it won't do her justice at all.
