In May 2010, it was announced Naomi Watts would star in the film as Marilyn Monroe, with Andrew Dominik directing from a screenplay he wrote. Production was slated to begin in January 2011.[1] Principal photography on the film didn't commence, with Dominik later stating he hoped it would be his next film with Watts still attached, with production commencing in 2013.[2][3] In June 2012, it was announced Plan B Entertainment would produce the film, with Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner serving as producers.[4] In April 2014, it was announced Jessica Chastain had joined the cast of the film, replacing Watts.[5] In August 2016, it was announced Netflix would distribute the film.[6] It was announced in March 2019 that Ana de Armas was in early negotiations to star in the film, replacing Chastain.[7] Filming finally began in Los Angeles in August 2019, with Adrien Brody, Bobby Cannavale and Julianne Nicholson among the newly added cast members.[8] In September 2019, Garret Dillahunt, Scoot McNairy, Lucy DeVito, Michael Masini, Spencer Garrett, Chris Lemmon, Rebecca Wisocky, Ned Bellamy and Dan Butler joined the cast of the film.[9]
