Brad Pitt has signed up to produce an Australian filmmaker’s stalled Marilyn Monroe biopic, according to reports. The 48-year-old star has stepped in to help director Andrew Dominik get his long-delayed movie off the ground as the project’s producer. Australian actor Naomi Watts was slated to play the iconic bombshell in Dominik’s biopic ‘Blonde’, which stalled before shooting began in January 2011. Pitt will produce the movie through his Plan B production company, although he has yet to decide whether he will take on a role in the film. “We’re going to get this one done,” the Sydney Morning Herald quoted him as telling 24 Frames. Pitt has previously worked with New Zealand born filmmaker Dominik on ‘The Assassination of Jesse James’ by the Coward Robert Ford and gangster thriller ‘Killing Them Softly’ which was in competition for the Palme d’Or at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. Dominik, rose to fame with his first feature ‘Chopper’ and lives in Melbourne.
