9 and Nine, two different movies but both look I’m very much looking forward to seeing. This post is about ‘Nine’, a movie based on the Broadway musical of the same name written by Federico Fellini and Ennio Flaiano. This movie has a cast which gives it very high expectations. The calibre of the movie is so high that it’s cast has a total of 17 Oscar nominations between them with a whopping seven wins.
The cast includes Daniel Day-Lewis, Marion Cotillard, Penelope Cruz, Judi Dench, Kate Hudson, Nicole Kidman and Sophia Loren. I’ve previously posted the trailer and images for the movie which hits UK cinemas 25th November. It’s directed by Rob Marshall who has previously brought us Chicago and is going to direct Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, the fourth in the ‘Pirates’ franchise. I’ve embedded the images below, some of which we’ve seen before but there’s quite a few new ones too which you can click on to enlarge.
Synopsis: “NINE” is a vibrant and provocative musical that follows the life of world famous film director Guido Contini (Daniel Day-Lewis) as he reaches a creative and personal crisis of epic proportion, while balancing the numerous women in his life including his wife (Marion Cotillard), his mistress (Penelope Cruz), his film star muse (Nicole Kidman), his confidant and costume designer (Judi Dench), an American fashion journalist (Kate Hudson), the whore from his youth (Fergie) and his mother (Sophia Loren). The original 1982 Broadway production of “NINE,” with music and lyrics by Maury Yeston, won five Tony Awards including Best Musical.
