Nine (the musical, not the weird puppets)

[CaptainCanada]

Rob Marshall's new musical (after his 2002 Chicago helped give the genre a new lease on life outside of animation), starring a ludicrously star-filled cast: Daniel Day-Lewis (two Oscars, two nominations), Marion Cotillard (one Oscar), Penelope Cruz (one Oscar), Nicole Kidman (one Oscar, one nomination), Judi Dench (one Oscar, five nominations), Sophia Loren (two Oscars, one nomination), Kate Hudson (one nomination), and...Fergie from the Black-Eyed Peas.

Trailer 2 (basically a music video; but wow, Kate Hudson can actually sing; always good when you're in a musical)

Trailer 3 (telling you something about the story)

Based on a musical that's based on a movie and the life of Italian director Frederico Fellini (La Dolce Vita, 8 1/2).

Looks fun (plus, you know, Cotillard and Cruz wearing showgirl outfits).

I have been hearing about this but had not seen any trailers until just now. You're right... that is indeed a "ludicrously star-filled cast". And it's not jsut names but quality.

Sophia Loren said she wanted to do this as it was a close as she could get to working with Fellini.

I plan to attend.

Having rewatched it a few times, I really like the 60s-style fashions, like Hudson's go-go dancer getup.

I see the trailer and marvel at how incredible Sophia Loren still looks today. Then again I just saw "Houseboat", so maybe I'm still in a fugue.
