As reported by yours truly last year, the Marilyn Monroe biopic has now been officially rated NC-17 for “some sexual content.” The MPAA’s decision to stamp this toxic rating on Dominik’s film has been a long time coming. It also means that “Blonde” is officially in the can since it’s been screened for MPAA purposes. “Blonde” is the first Netflix Original to receive the ultra-prohibitive certification. If you remember, there was a Dominik interview in early February where the writer-director confirmed that Netflix had Harvey-ed, so to speak, his film. The streaming giant brought in acclaimed editor Jennifer Lame (Manchester By The Sea) “to curb the excesses of the movie.” I’m hearing a TIFF premiere is being eyed for this one. Contribute Hire me
