Jessica Chastain has been linked to the role of Marilyn Monroe.
TheWrap.com have reported that Chastain is in talks to play the screen icon in an adaptation of Joyce Carol Oates' novel Blonde.
The novel - which was a finalist of the Pulitzer Prize in 2001 - chronicles the life of the American sensation who began a career as a model and eventually became known as a major sex symbol.
Monroe - real name Norma Jeane Mortenson - died on August 5, 1962, at age 36, and the book explores the theory that she might have been assassinated.
Andrew Dominik will direct while Brad Pitt's company Plan B is expected to produce with Worldview Entertainment.
'Blonde' was previously adapted into a CBS mini-series in 2001 where Poppy Montgomery played the lead beauty.
We are going to be seeing plenty of Chastain on the big screen over the next year of so, as she has completed work on Miss Julie, A Most Violent Year and Interstellar.
Interstellar is one of the most anticipated films of 2014, as Christopher Nolan returns to the director's chair for a new sci-fi project.
Chastain is currently filming Crimson Peak with Tom Hiddleston and Mia Wasikowska. The movie will be directed by Guillermo del Toro.
