“Please come. Don’t abandon me,” a crying de Armas says in front of a mirror in her dressing room at the start of the teaser trailer, which debuted Thursday.
The rest of the teaser shows flashes of de Armas' Monroe onstage and in front of cameras, recreating the breezy white dress moment over a New York City subway grate.

De Armas toldNetflix Queuethat writer/director Andrew Dominik’s “ambitions were very clear from the start: to present a version of Marilyn Monroe’s life through her lens.” She added, “He wanted the world to experience what it actually felt like to not only be Marilyn, but also Norma Jeane. I found that to be the most daring, unapologetic and feminist take on her story that I had ever seen.”
The actress spent two to three hours getting hair and makeup done for the film, according to Netflix Queue, and de Armas did plenty more research leading up to the film shoot.

She added, “Fame is what made Marilyn the most visible person in the world, but it also made Norma the most invisible.”
Director Dominik said, “I was really lucky to have Ana because she could just do anything. She was so good. She would get there so quickly. Her feelings were just so under her skin, and anything I said to her, she really understood. The scenes would always just come to life because Ana was there.”
Blondedebuts on Netflix Sept. 23.
