Production company FilmEngine has just optioned to 'reopen' the case surrounding Marilyn Monroe's mysterious death. The film will dramatize Lionel Grandison's experience, a deputy Los Angeles coroner who claims he was forced to falsify Monroe's death certificate to say it was a suicide rather than murder. Grandison also contends that he read Monroe's diary.

"Marilyn" will be penned by John Ryan Jr., a filmmaker-producer who also had cameo appearances in The Parkers, Boston Public and Judging Amy. The production company FilmEngine has produced movies like Lucky Number Slevin, Raise Your Voice and the Butterfly Effect series. -_-

The "Marilyn" project brings Grandison's story to the bigscreen for the first time. His involvement with Monroe's case has been mentioned in several books.

"After being forced to sign a falsified death certificate, he was threatened for years about what he knew. The threats only stopped recently," Producer Anthony Rhulen said.
