Despite the latter, I absolutely cannot wait to see Rob Marshall's Nine. Nine is based on Federico Fellini's semi-autobiographical story of a famed film director, Guido Contini (Day-Lewis) meeting his mid-life crisis both personally and professionally, and the women who surround him.
Nine is comprised of one of the most winning and nominated casts captured on the silver screen in some time. Seventeen Oscar nominations alone and seven Oscar wins. Daniel Day-Lewis is one of my favourite actors. Playing roles so few and far between I am waiting with bated breath to see him in a musical. If Rob Marshall's Chicago (2002) is any indication of how fantastic Nine will be, I think we are in for a treat. Opens December 25th. Merry Christmas to me!
