Entertainment Tonight to show a sneak preview of "Nine" Tomorrow — Page 2

Unfortunately "NINE" suffers from a dreadfully boring score. There's a reason it was basically forgotten.

Well, that's your opinion.

So it looks as if all the musical numbers take place in Guido's mind as scenes from his movie (as all of Chicago's numbers took place in Roxy's head). I guess I don't hate that...

After seeing that, now I really don't think Daniel looks sexy enough. Who does like sexy though is Penelope freaking Cruz! Did you see that extension!!!

What a way to start the morning! I'm beyond excited for this!

Taz, NINE was my favorite musical before CAROLINE OR CHANGE came out, so I'm definitely all about this movie too. It looks great and it's too early to judge the musical numbers, but glad you get what I mean, the numbers do look exactly the same from the lighting, the scenery, and the choreography. I'm really looking forward to this. Fergie sounds great, Penelope Cruz looks fantastic, Judi Dench seems funny, and even Nicole Kidman looks radiant.

TheActr97J -- this one?

Ken Mandelbaum wrote about the NINE score once describing it as "a series of showstopping numbers one after the other" and it's true, what a wonderful score. I think it's really a fantastic musical all around.
I'm loving the clips from "A Call from the Vatican." Penelope Cruz said she had to do a lot of things with a string, we can see her swinging on them in the trailer. I haven't been a Kate Hudson fan for a while but she looks fantastic in her musical number, looks like it'll be a fun addition to the piece. I really like the look they gave Fergie in that black and white flashback, though I don't love the red for "Be Italian," I love how they did all black in the original production.
Overall, I'm really excited about the whole thing. What a cast!

I think it looks fantastic, but I also thought that about "Memoirs..." which I was disappointed in when I finally saw it.

Still, so glad this is being released. I truly hope it makes money.

And, my two cents, it is one of the greatest scores of the past 30 years. The original production was stunning and original. I remember when it won the Tony awards for Musical and Score over Dreamgirls, which was my obsession at the time. I was flabbergasted and angry. I didnt have the cast album as the show had just opened before the Tonys, so everyone knew little about it (I lived in Philly at the time.) Then I got to see it and was blown away and I had another favorite to add the very same year.

Greatest year for scores...competing for the Tony Award:
Nine
Dreamgirls
Merrily We Roll Along (I was at opening night)
Joseph and the Amazing... (saw it with Liz Taylor in the aud.)

Kate is definitely channelling "Mama" Hawn here, and in such a great way. I love the glimpses of her new number. Very Euro-early-'60s groovalistic vibe. Looks like a knockout.

And I like the quick peek at "Follies Bergeres" with Judi Dench surrounded by all the feather fans as well.

But "A Call From the Vatican" with Penelope sliding around all that satin ... wow!

Marshall and Weinstein are no fools. They are repeating the success formula from Chicago: A movie-star cast, sexy chorus ladies, a realistic setting with surrealistic musical numbers, sexy chorus ladies, a charismatic leading man, show-stopping musical numbers, and ... sexy chorus ladies. Did I mention sexy chorus ladies?

Besty, you are so right, and you know what? I love it. I think NINE is incredibly sexy by nature and I'm glad that Marshall is completely embracing that.
They should shove Cruz down our throats, she looks simply divine. Love her in the glimpses from "A Call from the Vatican" but she looks just as sexy and spectacular when she's wearing that red dress at the train station. There is just something about her that is captivating. I can't wait to see her in this, her as well as all the other great ladies. The more I watch the trailer the more excited I am about this project.

I think Nine has a glorious score. I have a feeling this film is going to be phenominal.
