Coming Soon: Nine



This is the first trailer for the upcoming Rob Marshall movie "Nine" which will be released on November 29th. It is predicted that this film is going to be just as big (if not bigger) than Marshall's star-studded hit, Chicago.

Starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Nicole Kidman, Judi Dench, Marion Cotillard, Sophia Loren, Fergie, and Penelope Cruz, Nine is a musical about film director, "Guido Contini" (Daniel Day-Lewis) who is trying to finish a movie but has too many women in his life. There's Luisa, his lovely wife (played by Marion Cotillard), Carla his sizzling mistress (Penelope Cruz), and Claudia his muse (Nicole Kidman).

Harvey Weinstein produced the film version of "Nine," which is based on a musical originally written by Arthur Kopit and Mary Yeston and inspired by Federico Fellini's autobiographical movie, 8½. Raul Julia headlined the original 1982 Broadway production. In 2003, Antonio Banderas played the same role in the Broadway revival, which also featured Chita Rivera, Mary Stuart Masterson, Jane Krakowski, and Laura Benanti.

Based on the trailer, it looks like this will be one of the movies to watch during the Christmas holiday season.
