Nicole Kidman in Another Musical – ‘Nine’
After her role in musical film “Moulin Rouge!” (2001), Nicole Kidman is said to lay her eyes on another singing role in “Nine“, a feature film adaptation of a Broadway musical.
Kidman is negotiating to attain a role in the film. If the negotiation goes well, she will be joining the already star-studded cast that include Javier Bardem, Penelope Cruz, Marion Cotillard and Sophia Loren.
She may also work together with acclaimed actress Judi Dench, who is also reported to be in talks to star in the drama musical film.
Nicole Kidman is expected to give birth in the summer, several months before the filming is scheduled to start in September 2008. It is further explained that the co-star of Hugh Jackman in forthcoming “Australia” will have her filming to be shot in the latter part of production.
Adapted from the 1982 Tony-winning Broadway musical, “Nine” is set to be helmed by “Chicago” director Rob Marshall. The film actually was set to be tackled by the late writer/director Anthony Minghella and previously scheduled to begin filming in March 2008.
‘Nine' is a musical following a film director named Guido Contini (Javier Bardem), who is in his middle age. He is trying to complete his next film. His main problem is that he has too many women in his life. Luisa (Marion Cotillard), his wife, Carla (Penelope Cruz) his sexy mistress, and Claudia, his muse and protege.
Director: Rob Marshall
Writers: Federico Fellini, Ennio Flaiano

That is Daniel Day-Lewis, not Javier Bardem
