S: Is for Seductive

On December 19th one of the most anticipated movies arrives on the scene. Nine is a free-fall affair, following the mental meanderings of moviemaker, Guido Contini (but read: Fellini), and the women who shape his life. They come in all shapes, sizes and roles. The cast was mined from Oscar gold, save for Kate Hudson, a mere nominee allowed to pass because of her dancing skills. Daniel Day-Lewis, Guido, replacing Javier Bardem, who dropped out due to exhaustion and needed a year off to recuperate from his Oscar-winning work ("No Country for Old Men").

The ladies running around loose in Guido's feverish brain are his wife (Marion Cotillard), his mistress (Penelope Cruz, who was cast Oscar-less but won one during the shoot), his muse (Nicole Kidman) and his producer (Judi Dench). Rounding out the star-studded cast are Kate Hudson, Penélope Cruz, Stacy “Fergie” Ferguson and Sophia Loren. From the moment it was announced, Nine was a film that nearly every actress wanted a role in and was willing to audition for. Director Rob Marshall had his pick.
Marshall agrees: “I saw just about every female star in Hollywood. A lot of these women don’t usually audition and I was impressed at how they were putting themselves on the line"
