Saw the bit online. Marshall works his derivative magic on a third rate musical based on one of the great masterworks of cinema. NINE looks like CHICAGO 2, but without the slightly mitigating circumstances of the brilliant score and book.
To be fair, I may be wrong of course. It is just a trailer, after all. I'll have to wait until I see it. I wouldn't have thought David Fincher capable of producing ZODIAC, or Paul Thomas Anderson of producing THERE WILL BE BLOOD. NINE might be a terrific movie. Less promising projects have turned out very well indeed.
