The promotional video clip is set to induce cold shivers down your vertebra. Incidentally, Netflix released the first teaser for Blonde, a one-minute preview filmed mostly in luminous black and white. It opens with a shot of Ana de Armas in character as Monroe, sobbing at her dressing table.

Rumours of a Blonde adaptation have been floating around since at least 2010, with both Jessica Chastain and Naomi Watts in the running to play the Some Like It Hot star at various points.

It has been reported that the Cuban actor spent 9 months training with a dialogue coach to be able to competently render Monroe’s uniquely breathy voice and mouth her dialogues, in addition to doing ADR sessions in which she re-recorded audio after seeing her footage. Jennifer Johnson, who dressed Margot Robbie for her transformation in I, Tonya, is responsible for the costumes, while an army of make-up artists helped De Armas morph into The Seven Year Itch icon.
