Yet another Marilyn Monroe movie is in the works, but this one appears to be the biggest one yet. Angelina Jolie and George Clooney are said to be "definites" according to The Guardian in a film adaption of Andrew O'Hagan's novel The Life and Opinion of Maf The Dog, and of His Friend Marilyn Monroe
.
. Why the name Maf, you ask? It is the stuff of legends that Frank Sinatra (to be played by Clooney) bought Monroe (Jolie) the White French Poodle as a gift and her name was chosen because of Sinatra's ties to the Mafia. The dog was under the care of Monroe for two years before she passed away, before Maf was given to Sinatra's secretary Gloria Lovell.
Count this as the third film to begin production about the iconic figure. Michelle Williams, currently in Toronto, is tapped to star in My Week with Marilyn, while Naomi Watts is also set to begin work on Blonde, both listed now as being in Pre-Production. Somebody better start investing some stock in Clairol and L'Oreal as we can expect the return of The Blonde very soon!
