While I’m as excited for Rob Marshall’s Nine as any other film on the horizon (and I’ll give you one reason for that: Daniel Day-Lewis), the new trailer that has popped up online won’t sell anyone on the film unless they’re already aware of what it is.
Nine is director Rob Marshall’s (Chicago) attempt at delivering a musical inspired by Fellini’s film 8 1/2. /Film’s press coverage for the film gives a pretty succinct explanation of what we have in store:
“The musical tells the story of world famous film director Guido Contini (Daniel Day-Lewis) as he prepares his latest picture and balances the numerous women in his life including his wife (Marion Cotillard), a producer, a mistress (Penelope Cruz), a film star muse (Nicole Kidman), an American fashion journalist (Kate Hudson), the whore from his youth (Fergie), his confidant and costume designer (Judi Dench), and his deceased mother (Sophia Loren).”
I’m wondering if Judi Dench will get her own sexy solo, and if Fergie is pleased with that brief assessment of her role.
With that plot description in mind, check out the trailer below. It’s certainly a good looking film, and will be released on Christmas Day.
