Will Angelina Jolie be playing Marilyn Monroe in an upcoming film?

wenn34075

Yes, this story is likely 95% bullsh-t. But it’s still 5% possible, and after all, weirder things have happened. According to British reports, Angelina Jolie may (MAY) be playing Marilyn Monroe in a new film about… Marilyn’s dog. That’s how far this Marilyn obsession/fetish has come. When Marilyn overdosed, people were sad, because she made them laugh and she was beautiful and vivacious and yet vulnerable and sad, and she actually was a gifted and underrated actress. Nearly fifty years later, and people are still obsessing about her to the point where a book is written through the perspective of her dog Maf. Yeah… this is some sick sh-t. Anyway, the author of this book The Life and Opinions of Maf the Dog, and of His Friend Marilyn Monroe is claiming that Angelina will play Marilyn in the big film adaptation:

Author Andrew O’Hagan has said that his novel The Life and Opinions of Maf the Dog, and of His Friend Marilyn Monroe will be turned into a film starring Angelina Jolie as the screen siren.

George Clooney will play Frank Sinatra, Mr O’Hagan said.

Production on the film is due to start soon, the Times reports.

Speculation over the project has been growing over the last few months. Scarlett Johansson had been linked to the Monroe role, and Mr O’Hagen had previously suggested that Mad Men actress Christina Hendricks could also play the lead role.

The Life and Opinions of Maf the Dog, and of His Friend Marilyn Monroe follows Monroe’s last two years through the eyes of her pet, Maf, a Maltese terrier which was a gift from Sinatra in 1960.

The novel also charts some of the defining moments of the 20th century.

According to the book’s description, Maf – short for Mafia – met several famous faces from the era, including President John F. Kennedy. The dog also accompanied Monroe to acting classes, restaurants, department stores and to Mexico for her divorce from playwright Arthur Miller.

“Marilyn was a strange and unhappy creature, but at the same time she had more natural comedy to her than anybody I would ever know,” observes Maf, who was 3 when Monroe died in 1962 at age 36.

[From The Telegraph]

I don’t buy it… yet. I don’t think Angelina – or anyone else – should be tackling Marilyn’s life and work in this way. It felt icky when Ashley Judd and Mira Sorvina did it all those years ago… and personally, I’m creeped out by all of the Marilyn-styling that goes on today, whether it be Lindsay Lohan or Scarlett Johansson or Paris Hilton or Madonna or whomever. I’d always given Angelina some credit for never participating in any of those “inspired by [fill in the blank of a dead celebrity]” photo shoots. And to even consider playing Marilyn in a film told from the perspective of a dog?!? Shut it down, Angie.

PS… Now, if someone is making a really good biopic of Ava Gardner, only then would I think, “Hey, Angelina should play a dead celebrity.” Just because. Angelina is the only one who could do it well (sucks to be Kate Beckinsale).

    Please stop putting Angelina Jolie in Movies. She has stopped trying as an actress and is no longer watchable. Please put in a talented under appreciated or simply unknown Actress as these types of actors always make for a much more enjoyable movie.

    Thanks

    I’m sorry, I know La Jolie is loved here, and I always seem to be hating on her. I’m sorry for that. BUT. SHE. IS. NO. MONROE.
    Too thin, too bony, voice is all wrong, hair is all wrong, the beauty and innocence and savvy of Ms. Monroe will not be conveyed accurately by Angelina. IMHO, of course. When she gains 30 lbs I’ll reconsider, maybe.

    I agree with you Kaiser, there are just some dead stars that lives should not be brought to the big screen. This woman’s life was just so tragic. It seemed that she was just looking for someone to love her, not ‘Marilyn’, and the outcome was not good. It was almost like she amounted he life to the men in it. Let sleeping dogs lie on this one. Even the greatest actress cannot touch this woman’s life.

    Kaiser its not even 5% possible. Its 100% hell to the no Angelina would even consider doing this. Its 100% bulls*it. Angie would never do this. Angelina doesn’t wanna make movies about women like this anymore. Angie is going in a while new direction with acting roles. She doesn’t need or wants to play women like her Gia role.

    @Whatever No one is making you go to see Angelina films and second Angelina is the best effing actress Hollywood has working today. So how about Hollywood keep putting Angelina in their movies so her fans and everyone else can go and see real effing talent while you practice democracy (I am assuming you live in the US) and go see whatever film you wanna see because you live in America and have the option to do that.

    It is such B.S. and typical although she has tons of haters she is currently the biggest actress in Hollywood and the best way to get attention for your project is to say that Angie may be doing it.

    Thats cute electric. However no, I don’t have to hang with Angelina to make an accurate prediction about her turning down a movie role. Anything accurate would have been picked up by US media way before British media. Angie certainly wouldn’t do a movie about the bitch’s dog.

    @Meme Salt was an action movie, its not usually an Oscar contender. I think Angie’s performance in Salt could at least earn her a Golden Globe nod, it was that good to me. Anyway when Angelina gets a really good role like Mighty Heart was or another decent biopic she will win Oscar gold twice and this time for Best Actress. However thats just how I feel.

    Jolie’s style is too big and broad now to allow Monroe’s demons the quiet spaces spaces that would be needed for them to properly reveal themselves.

Do you think she’ll gain the weight to achieve those lovely curves Marilyn had?Further more let’s face it, after Girl Interupted (which doesn’t seem far fetched to her personal acting crazy self) I don’t think she has the acting chops to pull it off. We need a replacement for a new female action star and STAT. End rant.

    LOL I am calm. Totally calm. However…

    @Meme yes I am well aware you were being sarcastic. I don’t know why Angelina didn’t win for A Mighty Heart, but I did enjoy Marion’s transformation in La Vie en Rose, everyone did so I am not surprised she won. I think she deserved it in fact. The real travesty that year anyway was that the Academy snubbed Angie to make room for Cate Blanchett and that crap Elizabeth sequel she made. Angie really should have been nominated. I do wanna point out that Angie was nominated in every MAJOR category that year, including the Independent spirit award (which they gave to Ellen Page) expect the Academy award and also she did win the Santa Barbabra film festival award for her performance in A Mighty Heart so its something.

    I will be honest. I really enjoyed The Channeling but I wished she had gotten nominated for A Mighty Heart. Anyway it was Kate Winslets time. The Channeling wasn’t Angie’s vehicle to Best Actress but she will find one.

    Angie is an amazing actress and let me remind all of you Angelina already has many major awards already, including an Oscar and all before she turned 30 years of age.

    @LOVE ANGELINA – St. Angie Ho hasn’t won a “major award” in years. Yes, she’s a box office draw but she’s a movie star as opposed to being an actress (think Cate Blanchett, Kate Winslett). BTW a number of best supporting actresses have won Oscars before they were 30; it’s no biggie.

    AJ and Clooney would be the worst casting ever for this. I mean Clooney as Sinatra? George with blue contacts is about the dumbest image I’ve conjured up this month. Hendricks has the look certainly, and Clooney could do a passable Dean Martin, but never that walking scumbag Sinatra.

    To be fair, the sources are decent The Telegraph and The Guardian are broadsheets, not tabloids, but I think the writer is pulling it out of his posterior.

    I would SO love to see a biopic of Gardner, and I think AJ could make a decent fist of it. If she can get back some of that sensuality that the Bland sucked out of her.

    Angelina, among many of her peers, in her age group is more successful and more awarded for her talent. You can’t say that about to many actresses in Angelina’s generation.

If she keeps working with directors like Eastwood, Winterborne, and von Donnersmarck(although it doesn’t look like the Tourist is Oscar bait) in between blockbosters the Academy will have to give her another Oscar. If she is really doing Serena she will have a shot.

    I don’t get the Marilyn obsession at all. I have no idea why people want to emulate the tragic life of this lady. That worked out so well for Anna Nicole, right? Marilyn was known for completely changing herself, and her looks through plastic surgery. She became eye candy for the masses at the cost of her artistry and soul. She was also passed around like a f### doll in Hollywood and beyond. The sad thing is that she had real potential as a good comedienne, but she was never taken seriously. Why anyone would want to emulate her is beyond me? Because she was beautiful and an icon? That’s the epitome of shallow.

    Meryl Streep is generally recognized to be the most talented actress working today.

    I am so over Angelina. I feel like she plays the same three or four characters in every movie… 1) action bad ass 2) humanitarian 3) sex pot and 4) psycho or some combination of all four. I find her movies so incredibly boring. Has anyone here ever seen an Angie flick called “beyond borders”? I would seriously put that one in my “top five worst movies I’ve ever seen” list. I don’t even know how I finished that one! Anyway, my point is, I vote no on this idea. Hollywood needs to leave Marilyn alone (Lohan, this means you too!) and let her rest in peace.

    @Love Angelina I respect that you’re an Angie super fan. I obviously don’t share your opinion. But, if you think she’s amazing that’s fine by me. I know someone must be enjoying her movies. But, I have a real problem with you calling Marilyn a “bitch”. That was classless and totally uncalled for. Marilyn had one of the most tragic stories in Hollywood. She deserves to be remembered with respect for all that she gave the world of entertainment, alongside other Hollywood stars like Jean Harlow and Clara Bow who burnt out too soon.

    That is just a terrible idea. She is way too skinny. Everyone is way too skinny and I can’t imagine any of these women would dare put on the pounds needed to play Marilyn. I mean that as a compliment, by the way.

    There was an ad in my Marie Claire today, a Guess ad, and the model was styled like Marilyn with fish nets and the unsexy that came from the model was horrific. Fishnets makes sexy, shapely legs look hot. Hers looked like a couple of French fries wearing fishnets. I wanted to throw up, but I didn’t because I like the extra five pounds that I carry around every day.

    Wow. Just..wow. Maybe if Angie worked on her acting skills instead of letting her hair play the main character more people would see her movies. That would be horrific if they gave her the MM role. She used to be a fairly interesting actress, Gia was great. Nowadays its Angie dressing up to play Angie. She would probably never play MM, but Michelle Williams is one of those rare actresses that inhabits a role. She has that innocence and fragility the role requires. We need more actresses like Michelle and less of the Angie crapfests.

    Yeah, I don’t think so. I could certainly see Christina Hendricks giving it a go though. Now that would be some inspired casting.

    I didn’t take time to read through all the comments yesterday but, yes, Christina Hendricks would play a lovely MM.

    Angelina is a real blonde like her dad but it doesn’t suit her and she’s not curvy so I don’t think she could play Marilyn.I wish they would stop trying to cast Marilyn it’s really too hard to do,there’s no Marilyn out there with all the wannabees and still no Marilyn.I know they say Scarlett but her voice is deep and if I had to pick I guess it would be Christina Hendricks.Marilyn Monroe was truly beautiful and special the kind of special will never see in our day again.

    I’ve heard and read a lot of things about MM, but ‘underrated actress’ was never one of them.

    jzhz: “Halle Berry won an Oscar, too, and she can’t act either.”

    This.

    I think someone on another website put it best when they said “Angelina Jolie could possibly play one of Marilyn’s arms.”

    Also, Cate Blanchett, Kate Winslet, and Marion Cotillard are probably the best actresses between the ages of 30 and mid-40′s. They’re not just movie stars.

    better hurry up and get better lynds, they’re casting for Marilyn and when you went blond that very first time and i saw you on Jay Leno i was blown away by your beauty and the fact that you looked like the beautiful MM…you’ve traveled a long way since then and not in such a good direction, but you’ve got the looks and ability to pull it off IF you get yourself together!!! something like this could be your comeback and not some hooker movie. Be smart!
