Nine — See It or Skip It?
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
"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.

Penelope, Nicole and Daniel Are One Third of Nine
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
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.
So Far, It Takes Two to Make Nine
The cast of Nine have been spotted around London between rehearsals for their musical movie, but we're finally getting our first peek at the cast in character. Penelope Cruz and Daniel Day-Lewis got to work yesterday in the UK, sharing a hug and showing off their period costumes. Of course, the real fun will be when we get to see some singing and dancing, but for now we're happy to get a taste of what we can expect from the star-studded film.

The Cast of Nine Might Trade One Oscar Winner for Another
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."
