Nine the Movie



Yes, I know that the trailer for "Nine" came out nearly three weeks ago, maybe even a month ago at this point, but I think that it looks absolutely fabulous. First of all, the music -- in general -- is amazing, and it's directed by Rob Marshall of "Chicago" fame. Second, the cast is the definition of an all-star cast. Six Academy Award winners. One Academy Award nominee. And a Grammy winner.

Daniel Day-Lewis
stars as Guido Contini, an Italian director who is facing a midlife crisis that is stifling his creativity, while at the same time, he is attempting to balance the numerous women in his life including his wife Luisa (Marion Cotillard), his mistress Carla (Penelope Cruz), his muse and protégé (Nicole Kidman), his confidant and costume designer Liliane (Judi Dench), an American fashion journalist (Kate Hudson), the whore from his youth (Fergie) and his mother (Sophia Loren).

And p.s. I have never been a huge fan of Fergie, but she sings the song in the trailer ("Be Italian") and it sounds awesome!

Now I will be anxiously awaiting November 25th!

This looks like it is going to be mad sexy, which will be great for proving to the masses that musical theatre can indeed get pulses racing. And I can't say no to Daniel Day-Lewis ever. Now I have to go re-watch him and his beautiful faux Czech accent in "The Unbearable Lightness of Being."
