The Buzz: Andrew Dominik (The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford) has been trying to get an adaptation of Joyce Carol Oates's enormously acclaimed Marilyn Monroe fictional biography made for many, many years, and Netflix recently came to the rescue by bankrolling the entire project.

With Naomi Watts and Jessica Chastain having to drop out due to scheduling issues, Dominik has cast an actress to start shooting in January, but has yet to confirm who the leading lady will be.

Either way, Dominik's an insanely talented filmmaker and this is clearly his passion project, considering he's spent most of the last five years attempting to get it shooting.
