Yahoo! have a new video which shows the cast of Nine rehearsing their musical numbers for the film. It’s not one of those a behind the scenes shaky cams, it’s a bit more professional and shows footage for the film alongside the rehearsal footage.

Who would have guessed Penelope Cruz was that flexible? Even though it’s a musical I will probably see as there’s quite a lot of talent in the film. And Kate Hudson.

Nine trailer

Daniel Day-Lewis, Marion Cotillard, Penelope Cruz, Nicole Kidman, Kate Hudson, Judi Dench, Sophia Loren and…Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas are all in an upcoming musical called Nine (not to be confused with the upcoming animated movie 9). The trailer can be seen below. I’m not a musical type of person but they have put together a heck of a cast and anything with Daniel Day-Lewis in deserves to be seen whether it has musical numbers or not.

Nine is directed by Rob Marshall (Chicago) and tells the story of world famous film director Guido Contini as he prepares his latest picture and balances the numerous women in his life

Nicole Kidman To Play A Transsexual Married To Charlize Theron

Yep, you read that right. According to THR Nicole Kidman will be playing the world’s first post-op transsexual alongside Charlize Theron in The Danish Girl.

Kidman will star in and produce “The Danish Girl,” based on the true story of Danish artists Einar and Greta Wegener. Their marriage took a sharp left turn after Einar (Kidman) stood in for an female model that Greta (Theron) was set to paint.
When their portraits become wildly popular in 1920s Copenhagen, Greta encouraged her husband to adopt the female guise. What began as a harmless game led Einer to a metamorphosis and landmark 1931 operation that shocked the world and threatened their love.

Kidman and Charlize Theron are quite familiar with lesbian love, having won Oscars for their roles as lesbians in The Hours and Monster. No doubt this film will cause quite a stir and I wouldn’t be surprised if it was being treated as Oscar bait.

First Look at ‘Nine’

The Weinstein Company have released an image of Rob Marshall’s musical Nine, which started filming recently.

From left to right: Judi Dench smoking, Penelope Cruz with a weird leg position, this years Best Actress Oscar winner Marion Cotillard, Sophia Loren, Fergie with her legs open as usual, Nicole Kidman and Kate Hudson. Oh, and Daniel Day-Lewis is the dude with his back to us.

Nine tells the story of world famous film director Guido Contini, who faces a personal and professional crisis as he struggles to prepare his latest picture, while balancing the numerous women in his life — his wife, his mistress, his movie star muse, his costume designer, a fashion journalist, a whore from his childhood, and his mother.

Final Australia Trailer

The ‘epicness’ that is Australia continues with the final trailer that has Youtubed it’s way online.

“Australia” is an epic and romantic action adventure, set in that country on the explosive brink of World War II. In it, an English aristocrat (Nicole Kidman) travels to the faraway continent, where she meets a rough-hewn local (Hugh Jackman) and reluctantly agrees to join forces with him to save the land she inherited. Together, they embark upon a transforming journey across hundreds of miles of the world’s most beautiful yet unforgiving terrain, only to still face the bombing of the city of Darwin by the Japanese forces that attacked Pearl Harbor. With his new film, Luhrmann is painting on a vast canvas, creating a cinematic experience that brings together romance, drama, adventure and spectacle.

Another Great Australia Trailer

Liam — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 16:00:33 +0000

I’m not really into that romantic mumbo jumbo, however I am actually quite looking forward to Baz Luhrmann Australia. The previous trailers and imagery we have seen have been quite something, but this latest trailer has confirmed that I will be seeing this when it is released. The trailer starts off casually, exploring the predictable relationship between Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman, and then BAM! The trailer switches. The epic music kicks in and then it gets exciting.

Watch it below!

Nicole Kidman To Star In The Eighth Wonder

Liam — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 14:30:35 +0000

According to THR Nicole Kidman is going to be getting all ‘Indiana Jones’ on us. Kidman will star in and produce The Eighth Wonder, an action-adventure pitch that will be written by Simon Kinberg (X-Men 3, Jumper)

Details of the plot are being kept under wraps, but the story centers on an archeological discovery that sets off a globe-spanning race. The goal is to create a movie that will be to “Raiders of the Lost Ark” what the “Bourne” movies are to James Bond movies: a character-driven, treasure-hunting thriller.

Nicole Kidman was going to star in Kinberg’s Mr. and Mrs. Smith, however she had to pull out due to scheduling conflicts. You could say it was Kidman’s fault for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie hooking up and having 6 children.

Australia Moved Back

20th Century Fox have announced they are pushing the release of Baz Luhrmann’s Australia from November 14th, back to November 26th. The film stars Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman and is a romantic epic set in northern Australia before World War II.

The move is likely to be another ripple effect from the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince shift from November 21st to next summer. Variety also say it will give Baz Luhrmann a bit of extra time to get the film finished.

The film will now go head to head with Transporter 3, Four Christmases, The Road, Bolt and The Time Traveler’s Wife.

MovieCityNews got the first set of posters for Baz Luhrmann’s Australia starring Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman. We have seen the same images before, however they have now been converted into teaser poster form.

The filming for this movie took a few days less than that of Titanic, which was 20 days short of 6 months. Fox is gearing up a major campaign for this film, which will likely have the full power of the studio behind it.

Australia will be released on November 14th in the US.
