I smell the start of the Oscar race...
The Brothers Weinstein Co just released their first movie trailer for "Nine." "Chicago" director Rob Marshall last time out, won six Oscars including Best Picture, and returns to adapt another classic production of the Great White Way.
It centers on a 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).
The original 1982 Broadway production was nominated for twelve Tony Awards and winning five, including Best Musical. In 2003, the Broadway revival of “NINE,” starring Antonio Banderas, received eight Tony Award nominations and won two, including Best Revival of a Musical.
From the look and feel of the production, it's easy to tell that it's inspired by Fellini’s personal, painful, and beautiful film "8 1/2."
"Nine" hits theaters on November 25th 2009.
