There will be singing. Maybe.
According to Variety, Daniel Day-Lewis is in talks to join the cast of Rob Marshall's musical, Nine. He would be filling the role that Javier Bardem recently dropped out of due to exhaustion. However, a spokesman for the Weinstein Co. (which is producing the film) said until an announcement is made, Day-Lewis' casting is "pure conjecture."
The film, based on the stage musical originally inspired by the Felliini film 8 ½, follows Guido Contini, a famous filmmaker who has trouble balancing his professional life with his personal problems and a bevy of women. Penelope Cruz, Marion Cotillard, Sophia Loren, Nicole Kidman and Judi Dench will play the ladies in his life. — Adam Bryant
