The life and death of Marilyn Monroe will be re-investigated in an upcoming documentary that will be integrated into the catalogue of Netflix. Under the title of The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unreleased Tapes, the premise focuses on the night of 1962 when the American actress and singer lost her life to a drug overdose, authorities confirmed at the time. What circumstances led her to die like that? The production seeks to answer this question by means of audio recordings never heard before.
“The tragic death of Marilyn Monroe, a Hollywood icon, generated all kinds of rumors and conspiracies for decades, which ended up eclipsing her talent and intelligence. By reconstructing her last weeks, days and hours of life through unreleased recordings of those who knew her best, this film reveals the most intimate side of her glamorous and complicated life, and offers a new perspective on that fateful night,” says the official synopsis.
In 1992, Monroe's case was reopened by the US justice system, after the documentary The Marilyn Files aired on television and delved into new clues behind his mysterious death. For the first time, the interviews that were recorded as part of the research carried out in the 1990s will come to light.
Emma Cooper directs this documentary that aims to get much closer to the truth behind the sudden tragedy that marked Hollywood. Chris Smith, creator of Tiger King, has credit as an executive producer. The mystery of Marilyn Monroe: the unreleased films will be available on Netflix from April 27.
Marilyn Monroe's legacy will also be taken to the movies
Ana de Armas will play Marilyn Monroe in Blonde, a biopic about Hollywood's famous “Silly Blonde”. Directed by Andrew Dominik, the story is based on the book Some Like It Hot, published by Joyce Carol in 2000, and has been described by the filmmaker as an “emotional nightmare style of a fairy tale”. The film will relive the traumas of the star's childhood and how they mark her life until adulthood, a stage in which she becomes one of the most beautiful faces in the world.
“It's basically the story of every human being, but it's using a certain sense of association that we have with something very familiar, just through media exposure. It takes all those things and turns them around to their meanings, according to how it feels, which is basically how we live. This is how we all operate in the world. It just seems to me to be very resonant,” said the filmmaker about the upcoming film. “I think the project has a lot of really exciting possibilities, in terms of what can be done, cinematographically.”
