Stars' Tears At The End Of Nine
17 hours ago | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Sophia Loren, Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz and Dame Judi Dench broke down in tears when they finished shooting movie musical Nine - because they had become such good friends on-set
The actresses enjoyed wining and dining together throughout filming and they couldn't bear to be parted when the shoot wrapped.
Screen veteran Loren says, "It was like being a family. We were so happy. Everyone thought that all these actresses together would start a fire or something, but we got on so well.
"Nicole Kidman had her baby with her all the time and seemed so contented when her husband (Keith Urban) came on the set; Judi Dench was so funny in that way only the English can be, and Penelope Cruz was very Spanish. We all sang and we all danced and we were drunk with music on the set. We cried when we parted, which is something that generally doesn't happen on films." »

The actress appears alongside a stellar line-up including Penelope Cruz, Nicole Kidman and Dame Judi Dench in the upcoming film.
But it was Day-Lewis who made Loren nervous - because she felt overshadowed by his acting ability.
She says, "Daniel is incredible. He is hypnotic, magical, beautiful and brilliant; but he is also very scary. Every time I did a scene with him he was so deep and so real that it was almost intimidating." »

European Film Awards: Un Prophète, Antichrist, The Reader
7 November 2009 2:55 PM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
The EFAs are only 20 years old, a novice awards organization really, but their prizes offer up a rich variety of films, languages and genres. It's truly a grab bag and, if you're too Oscar focused, their prizes can be head scratching. Their 2009 Best Picture Nominees encompass three years worth of U.S. release dates:
(2008) Slumdog Millionaire, Let the Right One In and The Reader(2009) The White Ribbon(2010) Fish Tank and Un Prophète.
Tis a pity we can't bring the world closer together for simultaneous multilingual film discussions.
The Best Director is filled with heavyweights. When will you ever see an Oscar lineup that's this populated with critical giants: Pedro Almodóvar Broken Embraces, Andrea Arnold for Fish Tank, Jacques Audiard for Un Prophete, Danny Boyle for Slumdog Millionaire, Michael Haneke for The White Ribbon and Lars von Trier for Antichrist. Maybe a lot of what led to these nominations is reputation »

Spanish movie star Penelope Cruz was so paranoid about protecting her voice before her musical debut in Nine she became a recluse.
The actress felt the pressure of recording her vocals at London's famed Abbey Road Studios and decided to lock herself away in her hotel room and speak to no one as she prepared to hit the high notes.
She tells Entertainment Weekly magazine, "I thought it would be more responsible and professional if I didn't talk to anybody before I had to record. So I was laying on my bed like Dracula, looking at the ceiling and waiting to go to the studio.

7 November 2009 | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
- With the film eligibility dates covering portions of two years, the 2009 European Film Awards finds itself in an awkward mode of having a clear favorites from circa 2008 (Slumdog Millionaire, Let the Right One In) go up against cream of the crop from Cannes 2009 (A Prophet, The White Ribbon and Fish Tank). Jacques Audiard's A Prophet leads all nominations with a total of six with Best European Film, Director, Screenwriter, Actor (Tahar Rahim), Cinematography and Sound Design. Slumdog comes in 2nd place with five nominations while the Palme d'or winning The White Ribbon and Broken Embraces are tied with 4 each. The Reader, Fish Tank, Coco Avant Chanel, Antichrist and Let the Right One In have a total of 3 each. For the fun of it, I've placed asterisks next to what I think the winner will be in all of the categories below. So what do you think will and »

"When I came home from filming he was excited," she tells Cosmopolitan in the new issue on newsstands November 10. "He enjoys having both: the extra meat to grab when it's there and the tight stomach when that's there...he's never been critical." Here you can watch a video of the stripper talk about having lots of sex with Josh, a "really sweet guy." A few months ago Fergie told Allure that she Penelope Cruz ate their brains out in order to gain 17 pounds each, ordering "everything fried and full of fat and salty."

Daniel Day-Lewis leaves the ladies swooning in 'Nine' (IrishCentral)
4 November 2009 9:02 AM, PST | IrishCentral | See recent IrishCentral news »
Daniel Day-Lewis looks like he’s enjoying his leading male role in the upcoming film “Nine,” and what red-blooded male could blame him? The double Oscar winner is surrounded by fellow Academy honorees Penelope Cruz and Marion Cotillard in this still from the hotly anticipated new musical "Nine," based on the Broadway show of the same name that scooped five Tony Awards back in 1982. Ddl, the only male star in the film, portrays a world famous film director in the 60s who has a professional and personal midlife crisis as he approaches his 40th birthday. And he’s surrounded by a phalanx of women, including a wife, mistress, muse, confidant and other assorted hangers-on. The film is directed by Rob Marshall, who helmed the film version of the musical “Chicago” a few years back. You’ll remember that “Chicago” was an Oscar darling, winning a Best Picture Oscar among other nods, »
Nicole Kidman Burned Her Journals When She Married Keith Urban
4 November 2009 8:55 AM, PST | PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news »
Unlike many of her Hollywood peers, Nicole Kidman says she prefers to keep an air of mystery about her life. So that means no tell-all memoir, no blogging, and no Tweeting. "If you know what is going on inside somebody's head all the time that's not a good place," the actress, 42, tells the December issue of British GQ. "You can't read somebody's diary. You shouldn't read it. I burnt most of my journals after I remarried ... You're only going to find out bad things." In the interview, however, Kidman gives a hint about the adventurousness that infused her romances over the years. »

Oscar voters get three more DVDs: 'Coco Before Chanel,' 'Damned United,' 'Whatever Works'
30 October 2009 8:45 AM, PDT | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »
On Thursday, Oscar voters received the second, third and fourth DVD screeners sent to the full academy — all three from Sony Pictures Classics, which thus becomes the first major studio out of the gate: "Coco Before Chanel," "The Damned United" and "Whatever Works." Other Spc screeners ("An Education," "The Last Station," "Broken Embraces," "White Ribbon") will be sent later in derby season, a studio rep promises. "A Prophet" is eligible only in the race for best foreign-language film, which requires theatrical screenings, so DVDs of that will not be shipped. The only previous DVD sent to all academy members was "Anvil! The Story of Anvil." Some bloggers reported that "The Messenger" was also sent, but that's not true. At least not yet. It was sent to journalists, but a copy won't be shipped to academy members for another week or so. Economic hard times may severely limit the number of »

Does Nic Cage have the kavorka?
28 October 2009 11:40 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Nicolas Cage sometimes gets a bad rap. Yes, he's an Oscar winner, but his eclectic taste in movies has often drawn criticism, most famously from Sean Penn, who once accused Cage of s-tting on their profession. Say what you want about The Wicker Man or Bangkok Dangerous, but Cage is either the savviest or most fortuitous operator in Hollywood when it comes to his female costars. Yesterday's announcement that Mad Men's January Jones will costar opposite Cage in The Hungry Rabbit Jumps was only the most recent example.

Behind the Scenes of Rob Marshall’s ‘Nine’
22 October 2009 11:00 AM, PDT | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »
As you may know, this Rob Marshall directed film is loosely based on Fellini’s 8 1/2. It tells the musical story of film director Guido Contini (Daniel Day-Lewis) who’s facing a mid-life crisis. As he struggles to complete his latest film he examines his career, his life and the relationships with the various women in it.
If the quality of a film can be judged by the quality of its behind the scenes featurette, then I can safely say that Rob Marshall’s Nine is going to be one heck of a film. I’ve also included some new pics from the film as well which further illustrate just how great this movie is going to look.
Put all that together with the stellar cast and Marshall’s unquestioned ability to execute terrific musicals and Nine looks to have all the making of a hit. Be sure to check out »
