May 14 2009'Nine' Trailer: Some Babes Dancing Around Daniel Day-Lewis
Hey, there's this now: a trailer for Nine. No, not numeral 9, the animated, post-apocalyptic ragdoll film that looks so promising--this is spelled-out Nine, a new film by Chicago director Rob Marshall that, to the untrained eye, looks basically like Chicago with mostly better actors. (To my untrained eye, anything with burlesque musical numbers is some kind of variant of Chicago.)
So here it is, Chicago 2:
They probably called it Nine because it will win nine Oscars! Haha!
No, but really, this will win nine Oscars.

except that Nine has seniority since it's been around since 1982. it's a show inspired by the Fellini film 8 1/2.
it looks meh. but yeah will probably win 9 oscars.

I could look at Penelope Cruz and her boobs in lingerie all day - so this helps me achieve that goal! Thank you Rob Marshall! On the other hand - WHY DOES THE TITLE LOOK LIKE A HORROR MOVIE?!?!?!

And by "better" you mean to say, "with more boobs." With which I concur.

1. Will Daniel Day Lewis have a speaking role in this movie? Or will he just walk fast, climb sets, and open champagne bottles, as the trailer seems to suggest? Because I must say, speaking is really one of his strong points as an actor, and they should make use of that.
2. For the first minute or so, I thought "This visual style looks epic as fuck. Silhouettes passing through vast, barely suggested spaces, like cyphers exploring lost recesses of the subconscious." Then the actual dancing started, and we got back to the same choppy music video bullshit that worked so terribly in Chicago.
3. That accent was gratingly awful.
4. Why has Daniel Day Lewis never portrayed Sherlock Holmes? He would be fucking perfect for that.
5. I'm disappointed there's no way I can stretch this list to nine.

I thought that they called the musical "9" because you couldn't have 1/2 of a character on stage so they rounded up from 8 1/2. But now there sticking with 9 as a movie based off of a musical based off of a movie. How vexing. Man, wheres Baudrillard when you need him.

How the hell did movie kryptonite like Kate Hudson get in this film. WTF??!! All the other females in this film are known for being great performers. So many of their films are award winners, and geat successes. And not to mention DDL. He is some kind of mutant X-Actor. The guy does his thing on a whole different level. So somene tell me how the chick from Fool's Gold wormed her ass into this picture. If I heard that DDL and her were going to be in the same film, at the same time, I'd be worried about the universe imploding. Talk about two oppsosite ends of the talent spectrum.
