Nine: the film that seduced Hollywood’s biggest stars (video)
Everyone (Penélope Cruz, Nicole Kidman, Judi Dench, Sophia Loren, Judi Dench, Marion Cotillard, Kate Hudson and the pop singer Fergie wanted to be in Nine which was directed, co-written and choreographed by Rob Marshall (Chicago).
From the moment it was announced, Nine was a film that nearly every actress wanted a role in and was willing to audition for. “It was the film everybody wanted to do. Rob Marshall had his pick” says Nicole Kidman.
The story of Nine is based on Federico Fellini’s 1963 classic autobiographical film 8½. Nine concerns the problems of the suave, sensual Italian film director Guido Contini (Day-Lewis) as he faces his 40th birthday. He is struggling to mount his ninth film, for which he does not have a script and is juggling the seven women in his life: his wife (Cotillard), his mistress (Cruz), his star (Kidman), his costume designer and confidante (Dench), his mother (Loren), an American journalist (Hudson) and a prostitute (Fergie). His desperate search for inspiration sparks memories of his past stormy relationships.
