Is This Your First Look at Naomi Watts as Marilyn Monroe?
How determined is Andrew Dominik to get his Naomi Watts-toplined Marilyn Monroe film out before a competing one that stars Michelle Williams? This determined: we already have our first look at Watts as Monroe in Blonde, and the film hasn't even started shooting yet. Allocine (via The Playlist) noticed a poster touting the film at Cannes, and there's speculation that the image came from a fitting or screen test; personally, I thought it was Monroe herself until I squinted real hard (Watts looks a little thinner than the sex siren here). Still looks kinda morphed together! Have a gander at the big version of the image and decide for yourself:
Cannes 2010 - Cannes en direct! [Allocine]

Naomi Watts will clinch the Oscar next year after word gets out about how she forced herself to gain 40 pounds for the role.
This is a photoshoot she did in Jan 2009 for "Madame" magazine, with photographer Ali Mahdavi ---

Also...hasn't every blond hollywood actress done a Marilyn-inspired photoshoot in their careers?
Wow. I cannot get over how she in no way looks like Marilyn Monroe.
