Cruz & Dench | Behind the scenes video of ‘NINE’ (+ official trailer)

A behind the scenes montage from the upcoming film adaptation of NINE, staring some of the most beautiful (and talented) women in the world and Fergie opens on Dec 18 in New York. Sophia Loren, Kate Hudson, Marion Cotillard, Penelope Cruz, Nicole Kidman and Judi Dench have all either won Academy Awards or been nominated for an Oscar.

Perhaps this is why, Fergie, who has never won an acting award, plays “the whore from [Daniel Day-Lewis'] youth.” Regardless, and Miss Ferguson aside, NINE is perhaps the HN man’s most anticipated holiday film adaptation for two reasons: a) it’s a musical, and b) it stars some of Hollywood’s fiercest leading ladies.

Watch the exclusive behind the scenes montage after the fold.

From the release:

Directed by Rob Marshall (Chicago), NINE is a vibrant and provocative musical that follows the life of world famous film director Guido Contini (Daniel Day-Lewis) as he reaches a creative and personal crisis of epic proportion, while balancing the numerous women in his life including his wife (Marion Cotillard), his mistress (Penelope Cruz), his film star muse (Nicole Kidman), his confidant and costume designer (Judi Dench), a young American fashion journalist (Kate Hudson), the whore from his youth (Stacy “Fergie” Ferguson) and his mother (Sophia Loren).

The original 1982 Broadway production of NINE, nominated for twelve Tony Awards and winning five, including Best Musical, was directed by Tommy Tune, choreographed by Thommie Walsh, starred Raúl Juliá with music and lyrics by Maury Yeston and book by Arthur Kopit. The 2003 Broadway revival of NINE received eight Tony Award nominations and won two, including Best Revival of a Musical.
