Dominik is now telling Collider’s Steven Weintraub that “Netflix are letting me release the movie I wanted to make, and even with the NC-17 rating.” He then specifies that the goal is to send “Blonde” to Venice for a fall festival launch: “The idea is it goes to Venice now, so what’s that, September?" Here’s also Dominik’s interesting description of “Blonde” in the interview: This guy is real humble. He’s also predicting a Venice premiere: Last Fall, I had reported on the hefty post-production battles between Dominik and Netflix. Then, earlier this year, I gave an update that the feud had been settled with Netflix, and Dominik will finally be getting final cut on his Marilyn Monroe biopic. Of course, this wasn’t without a tad of studio meddling. 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 had brought in acclaimed editor Jennifer Lame (Manchester By The Sea) “to curb the excesses of the movie.” Whatever that meant. Contribute Hire me
