I can see it now:
So, Stephanie Necropolis misses a syllable in her patter section of "Folies Bergere" -- the part that goes "The trouble with Contini, he's the king of mediocrity. He's a second rate director who believes that he is Socrates..."
Contini gets angry, points the gun to the floor and shoots off a toe for each missed syllable.
In Marshall's latest film, NINE is to be filmed with a single take on a hand-held camcorder held by Contini (Bardem will join the International Cinematographer's Guild Local 600) , who when he sings, pulls the camera away from his body and turns it around on himself like Jarret (Jimmy Fallon's character on SNL) -- confessional style.
It will change the landscape of film forever!!
Isn't this what Rob Marshall had in mind when he signed on to direct NINE?
<---- You can see the crazy in her eyes. ;-)
