Nine - See It or Skip It?

PopSugarUK — Fri, 15 May 2009 04:07:11 -0700

Back in October last year we saw Judi Dench out for dinner in London with Marion Cotillard, Kate Hudson, Sophia Loren and Fergie just before they began shooting new movie Nine. Also starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Penelope Cruz and Nicole Kidman, this musical from Chicago director Rob Marshall looks set to be a smash hit when it's released in the UK in November. Take a look at the trailer and let me know what you think - will you see it, or skip it?

Movie Preview: Nine

BuzzSugar — Thu, 14 May 2009 11:00:11 -0700

"Be Italian!!"

Wow! The first trailer for Nine, a movie-musical by the director who brought us Chicago, is a feast for the eyes and the ears. There are sexy women galore (Kidman! Cruz! Hudson! Cotillard! Sophia Loren!) in nothing but their skivvies dancing and doing the splits and generally looking like tortured artistic souls.

No one looks quite as tortured as Daniel Day-Lewis (replacing Javier Bardem) as famous film director Guido Contini, who's struggling to juggle his relationships with all the gorgeous women in his life, including his wife, his mistress, his muse, his agent, and his mother. It's an amazing cast full of Oscar winners, and the music sounds great. And hey, Fergie's in it, too.

Nine will be released November 25. To take a look for yourself, read more.

Penelope, Nicole and Daniel Are One Third of Nine

PopSugar — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 16:00:40 -0800

Nicole Kidman and Daniel Day-Lewis were joined on the Rome set of Nine yesterday by a fresh from London Penelope Cruz. Daniel and Nicole tried to stay warm as they filmed late into the night, though Penelope was slightly luckier to be working in the still chilly-looking afternoon. It's just the latest stop on the globe for jetsetting Penelope, though she shouldn't be expected to stay in Italy too long since the Oscars luncheon is happening on Monday in LA.

Flashbulbs Are All in a Day's Work For Nicole Kidman

PopSugar — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 14:00:43 -0800

Nicole Kidman joined Daniel Day-Lewis on the Rome set of Nine yesterday. He's been hard at work on the movie for a few months, but this is the first time we're seeing Nicole in character for the musical. The duo were at the famous Cinecita studios to film a scene in which they had to flee the waiting paparazzi - a scenario Nicole is pretty familiar with. Shy Nicole doesn't love all the flashbulbs in real life but she just might welcome them as part of a scene.

The Cast of Nine Might Trade One Oscar Winner for Another

BuzzSugar — Thu, 15 May 2008 15:30:32 -0700

It's possible that any we slice it, the cast of the movie musical Nine will be getting a heavy-hitting, Oscar-winning actor for the role of Guido Contini. Originally the part was going to be played by sexy Javier Bardem, but he recently dropped out due to exhaustion.

Now Daniel Day-Lewis is eying the role of Guido who is described as "a famous film director who experiences personal and creative crisis while trying to balance all the women in his life."

Rob Marshall (director of Chicago and Memoirs of a Geisha) is directing the film, an adaptation of the stage musical which was an adaptation of the Fellini film 8 1/2.

The incredible women rounding out the rest of the cast include Penelope Cruz, Marion Cotillard, Sophia Loren, Nicole Kidman and Judi Dench.

We can see Javier in the upcoming Woody Allen movie Vicky Cristina Barcelona, and I've been itching to see what Daniel Day-Lewis will do next. His movie projects always seem like carefully weighed decisions so we know it's got to be something special if he does end up putting his seal of approval on this one.

Of course, a spokesperson for the Weinstein Co. is saying to Variety that any casting rumors at this point are "pure conjecture" but still, how great would this be?
